City - Saint James City

Nestled on the southern portion of Pine Island, Saint James City offers residents all the charm of a small town paired with the laid-back vibe of an Old Florida beach community. Saint James City’s many nature preserves lend the community an overall unspoiled feel, hidden away from the stresses of modern-day living.

The lush surroundings also provide plenty of opportunities for outdoor activities such as fishing, boating, kayaking, hiking, biking, bird-watching, and more. While the community is largely residential — with numerous townhomes and houses available for rent — Oleander Street serves as the main commercial avenue, with a slew of independent restaurants and shops to explore in a laid-back locale.
