Historic Homes for Sale in Jacksonville & St. Augustine

193 homes for sale · Updated from the MLS

Northeast Florida has real history to live in: St. Augustine’s centuries-old streets, Riverside and Avondale’s 1920s architecture, San Marco’s Mediterranean revivals. The homes below are flagged historic in the MLS — by style or by district.

Owning historic comes with texture and trade-offs: character no new build can copy, alongside insurance, roof, and renovation questions that deserve early answers. Every listing here shows its roof facts and flood zone in the Florida Reality Check — start there.

Frequently asked questions

Are historic homes harder to insure in Florida?

They can be — insurers focus on roof age, wiring, and plumbing more than the year built itself. A historic home with a recent roof, updated electrical, and a clean 4-point inspection insures far more easily than the year on the deed suggests. Get the 4-point early.

Do historic districts restrict renovations?

In designated districts (notably in St. Augustine and parts of Riverside/Avondale), exterior changes may need review or approval. Interiors are generally yours. Rules vary block by block — worth confirming for a specific address before you plan work.

Where are the historic neighborhoods here?

St. Augustine’s old city and its surrounding streets, Jacksonville’s Riverside, Avondale, Springfield, and San Marco, and pockets in Fernandina Beach. Each has a distinct architectural personality — happy to walk you through the differences.

I’ll send new listings the moment they hit the market and walk through the details that don’t show up in the MLS — water access, HOA rules, what a feature really costs to maintain.
