local lens on home and community

About

Hi! I’m Allisyn, and I’m so glad you’re here. I started this blog to share what it’s really like to live in St. Augustine, Florida—from a local’s point of view.

Whether you’re thinking about moving to St. Augustine, buying a home, or just curious about what day-to-day life looks like in the nation’s oldest city, you’re in the right place. I’ll cover everything from the best neighborhoods, schools, and hidden gems to where to get the best beach coffee or catch a sunset without the crowds and what makes St. Augustine special.

I’m a local real estate agent who’s lived here since 2002, but this blog isn’t just about homes—it’s about the whole lifestyle. I believe that choosing where to live is about more than square footage or price per square foot. It’s about feeling at home in your community, finding your spots, and getting to know the rhythm of the town.

This blog is here to help you figure out if St. Augustine is the right fit for you—and to give you the inside scoop before you ever visit or move. I share tips for new residents, updates on local events, home-buying advice, and little stories from everyday life here on Florida’s northeast coast.

If you have questions about neighborhoods, want help with your home search, or just want to know where the locals go for tacos—send me a message! I’d love to connect.

Thanks for stopping by—and welcome to life in St. Augustine through a local lens.
