Lincolnville

This historic neighborhood of  St. Augustine is a treasure and great source of pride with its rich history of civil rights and its significant origins. Just following the Civil War, newly emancipated slaves settled this town named after Abraham Lincoln, and it became instrumental in pivotal moments of the civil rights movement, including the famed 1964 night walk led by Reverend Andrew Young from Linconville to the Plaza de la Constitucion, where he was confronted with a violent offense. The original Victorian architecture of the 1880’s has remained, though been reduced somewhat by the draw to the suburbs and its new construction.  Still, the historic district continues to  define Lincolnville, with its leafy streets, famous restaurants, charming Victorian homes and museums, such as the Lincolnville Museum and Cultural Center who persevere in their mission to preserve and promote African American history. 

Davis Shores

Established originally  in the 1920’s by wealthy Florida land developer DP Davis, this small coastal community didn’t really pick up steam until the prosperous post- World War II years, when interest was revived. Today, Davis Shores is still known for the original design of its 1920’s buildings, while locals and residents in the area enjoy the beaches of Davis Shores, as well as inlets and access to the Matanzas River. Its romantic marshes and lush woods are a bonus, not to mention its easy access to downtown St. Augustine. One can spend all day on a bike, taking in the numerous beautiful attributes of Davis Shores. Homes in the popular Davis Shores neighborhood are midsize and competitively priced.
