Homes in Williams Addition are genuinely historic, with construction dating as far back as 1860 and running through 1935 — a rarity in Northeast Florida's mostly post-war housing stock. Typical homes run about 2 to 3 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms, with living areas generally in the range of roughly 1,000 to 1,400 square feet. The price band runs from the upper $500s into the upper $600s, reflecting both the homes' character and their location steps from historic downtown St. Augustine.
