What about flooding in St Augustine and surrounding areas of St Johns County? How far out does the flooding go from the city?

[@danjones3009]

Good question.. Didn't get a response though..

[@nf2885]

@@danjones3009 that’s because the realtors don’t want to disclose this to a buyer. You have to figure it out yourself. It’s an important question as you say.

[@staugustineliving]

Hi Dan, Always best to email me for a quicker response. I am not on KZbin daily since I am busy taking care of my customers. In any case, we definitely do not hide the fact that there are areas prone to flooding. As a matter of fact I make a point of telling people exactly where the flood zones are and enter addresses into the FEMA map so they can see for themselves. As for your question, it's not that simple because there are high and dry areas along the coast so it's not like a wave a water will come in during a storm and flood the entire coast. I would say the majority of the city district is in a flood zone and portions of the island as well. As long as you stay west of the intracoastal areas you should be fine but you should always do your due diligence. Here's the site I use to check flood zones. Just enter in the address. If you see blue, it's a flood zone. msc.fema.gov/portal/search#searchresultsanchor

To all the people thinking about moving here, this is a very old town. It is not designed to be heavily populated due to the narrow streets limited space. If there is another place you like just as much please reconsider moving to st.augustine because it isn't built for the amount of people already here and it cant be expanded without also being destroyed. If you have family there move. My family has been here for 500 years and I feel like the town is losing it's old charm. Recently cancel culture removed a statue honoring my dead ancestors who fought in the civil war. It was not pro slavery. It was simply honoring their names and it was removed so that ignorant travelers and tourist could feel better while the natives here pay the price. I dont mean to be too dramatic but please consider my words.

[@annabellebeckwith9283]

I know. I always say everyone can't live in Florida, but it's starting to look that way. At the very least, people should spread out across the state, but everyone wants to be "near the water." I'm one of them.

Great video, thank you. One question: Can noseeums. get in your house? If yes, what precautions can you take to keep them out of your house? I understand that they can get in through the patio screen, therefore you need to get a special Noseeum screen to prevent this. However, can they get in through your window screens or through a door? Thank you for your time.

[@staugustineliving]

I've never had an issue with them in my house. Typically the AC will be on when noseeums are prevalent so the windows would be shut. If not, another trick is to spray Listerine on your screens. They don't like that.

Didn't say anything about impact fees or taxes which are very high in St John's County?

[@staugustineliving]

Impact fees are imposed on the property developer. As for taxes, the higher tax rate is in the city district of St Augustine. The county taxes aren't bad at all especially compared to other states since we do not pay income tax. I actually paid higher property taxes in New Hampshire on a home averaging $250k and that was over 10 years ago so I'm sure it's more now but I guess it all depends on where you are coming from.

My husband and I are considering moving to live in St. Augustine. Our son and daughter-in-law live In Jacksonville.THEY both require handicapped accessibility. They live in a brand new apartment in Jax which is built to current ADA standards. My son becomes very displeased when he is out in public and encounters barriers to his mobility like no side walk cuts and needs such as restaurants and shop bathrooms which are inaccessible to wheelchairs. He really appreciates the beauty and history of St. Augustine, but the last thing that we want to do is move to a place where he is frustrated about mobility. Even though ADA regs are federal mandates, many people don’t make changes to their property until someone complains. Any thoughts on this topic? Also, could we find a condo in a newer part of Florida between Jacksonville and St. Augustine which has an ocean view and beach access?

February drops down into the 20s at night, highs in the day no more than 40s. Cost of living is NOT affordable. Most people here really struggle to get their rent or mortgage paid. And there are precious few places to live anymore because of AirBNB and like companies. It's a wash, really, but I've lived in much worse places, so no real complaints. Things could be a lot worse.

[@MajorVanceAstro]

“No real complaints”.!? LOL… what was that? Moving to that area so we could be reminded every now and then, in February, why we left NYS. As of cost of living? Try living in NYS where the politicians and board members tax the crap out of you to give to others and themselves! Perspective! You must be “the glass is half empty” kind of person?

@@staugustineliving Sorry. I was wrong for pointing out the obvious. I was in a shit mood and forgot my manners. I apologize.

As told by a real estate pro. If I had a nickel for everyone of these real estate ads on you tube. Dog owners are selfish a holes usually.

Is she whispering?

Too funny... You (Kim Devlin) don't like the crowds in SA yet you make a video promoting it... You're contributing to the problem... Traffic is now intolerable. Real Estate prices went through the roof. The whole 'small town', 'look people in the eyes and say hello' vibe is a distant memory... SA has become a weird beachy version of NY, NJ meets California.

This video was pre-covid so It has definitely gotten worse in the last few years. I warn everyone about it so they understand the town is touristy. It isn't for everyone. However, most people moving here are not looking to be downtown or on the island and instead are moving to the northern sections of the county. I don't feel I am part of the problem contributing to the influx of people. St Augustine has been on every Top 10 list in the last few years so many people found out about it that way. I'm just making sure people know what it's really like to live here b/c many videos don't give a true picture. With that being said, I am meeting some amazingly cool people that are moving here, so I hope you get to connect with some of them someday.
