The Ancient City, as locals know it, offers diverse housing options from downtown apartments to waterfront communities near Anastasia Island.

Outdoor enthusiasts enjoy Anastasia State Park and the Atlantic beaches along A1A. Flagler College, housed in the former Hotel Ponce de Leon, brings energy to the downtown area. Residential areas include Davis Shores with its waterfront views and Lincolnville, featuring preserved Victorian architecture. The Plaza de la Constitución, a gathering space since the 1500s, anchors the walkable downtown, where Spanish colonial influence shapes the streetscape.
