St augustine is it a good place to live and are the things are expensive

[@gmlaster]

Wow! I had no idea the city was so Spanish. I used to live in Spain. Those narrow, cobblestone streets, the balconies and arches in the architecture and all the palms make it seem like aliens beamed up an old Spanish city and plunked it down in Florida. There are even Spanish forts! That so many of the buildings are flying the colors of the Spanish flag make its roots even more apparent. They’ve done an amazing job preserving the original Spanish flavor of the city. So glad they didn’t cover it with skyscrapers.

[@conejitozombie2710]

More spanish flags than in Catalonia. People usually tells bad spanish history to other people, but we must be more proud of our history than much other countries. Viva España! Viva USA!

[@josephleehooker5256]

My heart is here in this town. My fathers grew up here . We came to St Augustine every summer from Pennsylvania before I-95 was built . There was 7 of us in a Ford Galaxy . My Italian Grandfather was 6'4" ,My grandmother ,Aunt Mary,Cousin Kathy ,My mom,Me and My dad almost 6 ' What a Blast ! My family is still there.

Like many southern states in the USA such as California, Arizona, Texas, New Mexico, Oklahoma, Louisiana, Mississippi, Alabama, and Georgia, there are also many species of palm trees grown in Florida. Many tropical trees such as palm, banana, coconut, Epipremnum aureum and many more are grown in St. Augustine. The subtropical or tropical climate of this area makes the flora here abundant. Many houses, buildings, and churches have louver-style brown wooden windows, balconies, and fences. The city has much influenced by the architecture of the Spanish and European colonial period in the 19th and early 20th century. Both of the federal and state flags are often flying outside the buildings. The Florida state flag has two red and yellow colors (like the Spanish flag). Overall, in my opinion, the city of St. Augustine is clean, quiet and ancient. However, roads and pavements for pedestrians of the city seem narrow.

[@williamreese6545]

I just got back from my vacation there and I recommend the oasis if your looking for a good place to relax and eat and the music is really good as well 🏝

[@justsumguy2u]

I can tell you filmed this during the week----on the weekends the tourists come, and our roads are jam-packed.

[@nette49]

I am so happy that I found this video! I have never been to St. Augustine. I am going to be 71 in August and my friend and I are planning a trip in early November. And our names are not Thelma and Louise!! But that is what we call ourselves because we just take off! I am so looking forward to this trip, coming from south of NOLA, we will spend the night in Destin, then head on to St Aug for a week.

[@stephanien2286]

How was your trip??

[@john411ize]

I love St.Augustine ❤️❤️❤️❤️

[@anoncrazynonevilgooddecent7631]

This city was founded by Spanish colonists and under Spanish control for over 300 years until British gained it in late 1700s and held it until Spanish regained it in early 1800s then USA gained it in early 1800s with purchase treaty

[@xcxzvhy]

ya and the light house is haunted

[@Santisantiago]

thank you so much. i will be traveling there 5 times a year to do some courses. im happy i found this and have a taste of the place. looks wonderful!

[@worldtravelimagesnet]

Nice, I think that is USA:s oldest city. Looks very European.

[@brandonohara4122]

worldtravelimagesnet indeed

[@anoncrazynonevilgooddecent7631]

oldest continuously occupied European established city not oldest city, there are many cities older than that by natives and also like 3 other older European established cities but they are not occupied a few hundred years older

[@anoncrazynonevilgooddecent7631]

oldest continuously inhabited european established city* not oldest european established city sorry about that,because there are older european established cities than this in the US such as Pensacola, Fort Caroline, etc but this is the oldest continuously inhabited and the other ones either failed and abanomded or destroyed by other european power or natives

[@thomasbrown5445]

It looks like Spain.

[@matthewmccully8249]

worldtravelimagesnet it is

[@welcometotheworld3839]

love those buildings and streets. beautiful thanks for this!

[@jutah]

Glad you enjoyed it!

[@barbaracabral3308]

This is why I love St. Augustine downtown area.

[@jutah]

+Barbara Cabral Same here :)

[@mikes3827]

+J Utah BEAUTIFUL. I'm from the Boston area, and while I love summertime in New England, winters are becoming too much (not a novel concept, I know). But, I'm looking at wintering in the St Augustine area, and judging by the beautiful architecture, the history, etc., this looks like the place for me (sooooo not looking for a place like Miami). The one question I had: Are there a few camp grounds in the area? I'm assuming so, but wondered if you have any suggestions or know of the quality/reputation of some in the area? Thanks.

[@gregvadimsky2781]

Thank you so much for posting this - many sweet memories there with my family, past loves, and my dog Benny! This was very relaxing and fun to watch.

[@adelaideadams8288]

Gud morning 🌞😎 video We was there this pass Sunday It's been the longest since my both Parents pass on we spend the whole day st Augustine city so Beautiful city beach 🌞 lovly Gift stores will come back love We glad to see

[@mcspikes1]

Great job on the video! My son lives there and we have been visiting St.A. for a week at a time for the past 30+ years . It really is a tremendous place with a million things to see and do. I don’t know what time of the year this was, but I have never see the city with so few people and cars although I’m sure today with the COVID situation it is even emptier. If you haven’t visited St. A. you owe it to yourself to go (when the coast is clear re: the virus). You won’t be disappointed and while you’re there, don’t forget to visit Hazel’s Hotdogs (hint - it’s not downtown. Go exploring and find it).

[@HIJOSBONICOS]

Excelente, muchas gracias desde Perú.

[@jutah]

+HIJOS BONICOS Gracias y saludos desde USA! :)

[@HIJOSBONICOS]

@Anurag Saini ¡Viva! Un abrazo

[@Mariaalvarez-xs3nu]

Soy de Perú y en 15 días estaré visitando esta ciudad, con solo ver el vídeo ya me siento algo identificada, la arquitectura, este toque europeo ❤️ un respiro

[@bighead3258]

i love it there, cant wait to go back

[@noracuellar5424]

Beautiful! I love St. Augustine I wish I could move there.

[@jutah]

+Nora Cuellar Its fantastic. Very well preserved!

[@johnparker7784]

Nora wrote - Beautiful! I love St. Augustine I wish I could move there. I did live there for 11 years. You have no idea what youre talking about. Its a terrible place to live for many reasons. A simple youtube video has no ability to inform you what its like to live day to day in a given locality.

[@lucymendez3797]

True !!

[@jonfairchild8531]

You've convinced me, John. I'm moving there.

[@tomlocke3674]

Everyone's situation is different. Just because it wasn't a good place for you doesn't mean it won't be for someone else.

[@candlesbyalexandria]

So Beautiful! Thank you for sharing!

[@NotYoung3592]

Thanks for this, used to live and work there decades ago. Sweet memories

[@richardfloridaman]

I lived and worked there too, I'm from Green Cove Springs and I moved to St Augustine in 2005 and rented my first apartment near downtown St Aug. I miss those days dearly. Hello from Kansas City, Missouri!

[@LaoLishLife]

Wow!! So this is how I get to see the heart of St. Augustine for the first time in the two years we’ve been here. I’ve been wanting to go see the fountain of youth. But since we came during the beginning of the pandemic, we haven’t gone site seeing in the old town. Just to Ayara’s for sushi.

[@boomintahoe9398]

we were there 2 yrs ago and took the trolly tour downtown St Augustine. very rich in history. would do it again.

[@AndJusticeForMe]

You basically had the whole historic district to yourself. Nice video.

[@jutah]

+AndJusticeForMe Thank you!!

[@normaberastain6875]

I miss so much in St Augustine, changed a lots more growing improved better but I remember saw first time in1984 and 1987 then later 1995

[@marieelena]

I love St.Augustine,wish I could move up there...great video!

[@maripinckney560]

This city is old

[@aloestudis1761]

Mari Pinckney mhm the first actually founded city in the USA it's a great place and beaches are awesome

[@adelaideadams8288]

The weather was cloudy and rainy thank God was not raining at thee beach 🌞🙏❤️ ly to we did have to see the Castle next time the Castle oh yes.

[@samiam9008]

Thanks, and thanks for no radio or talking .. I love St. A ... been many times.. will be back

[@andresm.7634]

been there and it is just as beautiful being there than it even appears on camera

[@marcob4630]

Wonderful! Another historical U.S. city - Small is beautiful. Far better to live there than in anonymous big metropolis

[@marcob4630]

OK, but this is not a big problem: all Americans have a car

[@jesuschristfam5547]

marco brenni also the city out of downtown is dirty and run down, very conservative too. Roads are old and run down, little to no true unique stores.

[@josemontano7767]

I was just there. I love St. Augustine FL.

[@alvarof8095]

Spanish colony, so glad to see people honours the old flag there

[@clearmist7170]

They probably just have it there for decorations. I don't think they have an active Spanish population (people from Spain). That being said. I don't even know if the Spanish flag was even the same today as it was when St. Augustine was founded.

[@JackParsons.]

It was white with a red cross. Florida's current state flag is modeled after the old Spanish flag. There are many Hispanics and a few Spaniards here and there, but they're kind of reclusive. They just keep to themselves mostly.

[@anoncrazynonevilgooddecent7631]

nope, actually people here are proud of Spain and many descendants of the original Spanish colonists live in the area and so do some Spaniards from Spain and latinos

[@decrox13]

clear mist There are more than 58,000,000 American Latinos, all of whom have some Spanish Blood...

[@MeadeSkeltonMusic]

Thank you. I get to visit without even leaving my computer chair!

[@kweli05]

What time of the year did you go? Was it in October? How bad were the gnats (sand flies)?

[@adelaideadams8288]

We did ride the car then parking lot And did some walking and talk to some neighbors there it's a beautiful city to retire 😊😁😎 day

[@user-yi1bv3rx5n]

Looks like very safe and nice town, i dont see any homeless. I don't know about at the end i only saw the beginning part of this video.

[@Hideaway904]

+. There are homeless people there. Well, not homeless people in the traditional sense. These are mostly 20 and 30 somethings that appear to be homeless. They kinda just hang around up and down St.George St. and lay in the grass at Plaza de la Constitucion. I spend every chance I get in St. Augustine (3-4 times a month) and they have never bothered me or asked for money. I just don't like seeing them just hanging around. It kinda takes away from the atmosphere. But I guess they got to be somewhere.

[@user-yi1bv3rx5n]

+Christopher Campbell this one may looks like a bit in Europe

[@najatenajate2749]

[@dorissiverios]

Wuow seves muy bien

[@thebiggestcontroversy5881]

why spanish flags every corner of the street??

[@jutah]

+The Biggest Controversy I believe is was founded by explorers from Spain. Lots of history to see there! en.wikipedia.org/wiki/St._Augustine,_Florida

[@bdruggan]

To date, the Spanish occupied St Augustine longer than other other nation. The reason for all the flags and banners though is St Augustine had just had a huge 450th celebration. The king and queen of Spain came to visit for the festivities.

[@cflo1386]

I believe it is the oldest town in the U.S it was originally colonized by the Spaniards twice and in between it was colonized by the Brits, but the town was founded and erected by Spain.

[@tannawannavannabittannawan7138]

Joaquin Asmat Yes

[@barb7124]

@C caymer You don't know what you're talking about. $1000 will not get you a two bedroom here. St AUgustine is seriously lacking in affordable rentals. Most small rentals start in 1200-1300 IF you can find one. Most jobs here pay min wage up to ten an hour. Retail and services, unless you are in the medical field. The city is corrupt and full of entitled rich old twats. The homeless are taking over downtown. I am leaving this shit hole soon.

[@danacopp2479]

Quite affordable

[@barb7124]

@C caymer the only rent under 1000 in St Aug is in the bad neighborhoods.

[@mrknowmyself]

How can the color of houses is similar?

It’s nice that you show the area but can you really show the neighborhoods how they really look how the houses look do you know are the mobile homes the trailer parks the hospitals are at neighborhoods nobody ever shows that
