Uptown St Augustine Saint Augustine, FL

Where 400 years of history lives

Historic Coast Beaches

Uptown Saint Augustine lies north of the downtown region between the San Sebastian River and the Matanzas River. Houses for rent in this neighborhood lie within walking distance of the Ripley’s Believe It or Not! Museum and its Ghost Train tours, and is only a few blocks from the Fountain of Youth Archaeological Park.

Saint Augustine is a fascinating city on the east coast of Florida. In addition to the sand and surf of Saint Augustine Beach where you'll enjoy swimming, beachcombing, and surfing, Downtown Saint Augustine is home to the 17th-century fortress Castillo de San Marcos, the St. Augustine Lighthouse, Lightner Museum, Flagler College, Anastasia State Park, and historic Downtown Saint Augustine -- the oldest city in the nation, founded in 1565.

As you explore this 400-year-old city from your apartment in Uptown, be sure to visit the Avero House (built in 1749 and now a Greek Orthodox shrine), Fort Mose Historic State Park, and the Gonzalez-Alvarez House -- the oldest house in Florida, built around 1723.
