Dos & Don'ts of Moving to St. Augustine
Insider tips to help you make the smartest move to America's oldest city.
Do
Research flood zones carefully
Being coastal, some areas are in FEMA flood zones requiring extra insurance.
Embrace the tourist seasons
Peak tourist times (spring break, summer, holidays) bring traffic but also economic vitality.
Explore beyond the historic district
World Golf Village, Palencia, and Nocatee offer modern suburban living.
Check school zones
St. Johns County has Florida's #1 ranked school district, but enrollment boundaries matter.
Budget for coastal insurance
Windstorm and flood insurance can add to your monthly costs.
Don't
Buy on historic streets without understanding regulations
The historic district has strict renovation and building codes.
Underestimate the commute to Jacksonville
It's 40–50 minutes to downtown Jax, longer in rush hour.
Skip a thorough home inspection
Older homes may have hidden issues, and coastal properties face salt air damage.
Ignore parking challenges
The historic district and beach areas have limited parking, especially on weekends.
Miss the off-season charm
Summer heat thins out the tourists, and locals enjoy the beaches and restaurants more.
