Thinking about moving to St. Augustine?
An unscientific survey indicates that most people who've moved to St. Augustine first visited as tourists. There's a long history of that pattern, beginning with Ponce de Leon, including Henry Flagler and a colony of artists in the late 1800s, and through to today's college grads, families, and snowbirds.
As a visitor, you may know your favorite shops, restaurants, musicians, attractions, and beaches, but moving to the Ancient City requires a whole new set of information. Where are the best schools for your kids? What neighborhoods are close to grocery stores? Who will you call for yard work and electrical issues? Which is best for you, an HOA community or a stand-alone house?
