Our Take

Saint Augustine offers a charming historic atmosphere and low flood risk, but it’s very car‑dependent and has limited transit and nightlife. It’s a solid choice for retirees or families who love a small coastal town, though you’ll need to be prepared for some seasonal traffic and a modest crime level.
