About Dicks Map
Dicks Map is a Putnam County community in Palatka where the current market runs from about $540k to $800k, with homes built 1884–1912. Every listing below is live from the MLS — the same data, tax truth, and flood detail as everywhere else on this site, updated continuously. A note on how I work this area: Dicks Map sits beyond the St. Johns County and Beaches corridor I serve street-by-street every day. The data here is real and current, and when you are ready to tour or list, I will introduce you to the colleague at my Christie's International Real Estate office who knows this market best — and stay involved as your advocate from first call to closing.
Living Here
What It's Like to Live in Dicks Map
Dicks Map is a quiet, historically rooted pocket of Palatka where the pace of daily life is shaped by the St. Johns River and the character of a South Historic District address. The neighborhood itself has sidewalks, street lights, and a community restaurant, along with fishing access that draws residents to the river regularly. For broader regional experiences, St. Augustine — with its cobblestone streets, dining, and the outdoor concerts at the St. Augustine Amphitheatre — is roughly 25 miles away. What tends to surprise buyers touring here is how much architectural integrity these homes have retained, with original craftsmanship that is genuinely difficult to find anywhere else in Northeast Florida.
The Homes
Dicks Map Homes & Architecture
Homes in Dicks Map are predominantly 3–4 bedroom, 2–3.5 bath single-family residences, typically running from about 2,350 to 3,150 square feet of living area. The architectural styles lean Cottage, Victorian, and Historic — think front porches, wood exteriors, brick details, original fireplaces, and mahogany trim that reflect the neighborhood's late 19th- and early 20th-century construction dates. Prices generally range from the mid-$500s to around $800k. Inside, homes commonly feature entrance foyers, eat-in kitchens with breakfast nooks and pantries, primary bedrooms on the main floor, and enclosed or screened porches that take advantage of the surrounding landscape.
Amenities
Dicks Map Amenities & Community Features
Dicks Map has sidewalks and street lighting throughout, giving the neighborhood a walkable, historic-district feel. Fishing access is a draw for residents who want to make use of the St. Johns River, and there is a restaurant within the community. These are modest but genuine amenities that complement the neighborhood's character rather than compete with it — buyers looking for a resort-style clubhouse or community pool will want to look elsewhere, but those drawn to river access and a walkable historic setting will find them here.
Location
Dicks Map Location & Commute
Dicks Map sits in Palatka, in Putnam County, positioned along the St. Johns River in what is recognized as the area's South Historic District. Buyers weighing this location often ask me about the nearest major medical facility — Flagler Health+ Village at St. Augustine is about 25 miles away. Fort Matanzas National Monument and the St. Augustine Historic District, the oldest continuously inhabited European settlement in the United States, are both roughly 25 miles to the southeast, making St. Augustine a realistic destination for weekend outings.

Questions
Frequently Asked Questions about Dicks Map
How old are the homes in Dicks Map, and have they been updated?
The homes here were built between 1884 and 1912, making them among the oldest residential properties you'll find actively trading in Northeast Florida. Based on recent listings, many have been updated — kitchens with modern appliances, renovated bathrooms — while retaining original features like fireplaces, wood trim, and historic exterior detailing.
Are there waterfront homes available in Dicks Map?
Yes — a meaningful share of homes in Dicks Map sit on the St. Johns River, and waterfront properties make up roughly half of what comes to market here. River views, front porches designed to capture river breezes, and direct fishing access are recurring features in these listings. Given how few properties in this price range offer both historic character and true riverfront positioning, it's worth acting quickly when the right home comes available.
Is there an HOA in Dicks Map?
Based on the listings data available, there does not appear to be a mandatory HOA in Dicks Map. That said, I'd recommend verifying this for any specific property before closing, as deed restrictions or local historic-district guidelines may still apply to exterior modifications and renovations.
