Worst things about St. Augustine nobody talks about

Appreciate any input. Honestly, I think it's a great place if you know where to look.

Hot take but it was the best decision I ever made. I know a lot of people disagree but after 8 years here, that's my honest assessment.

I'm a nurse and I've found it's not perfect but it works for me. The community is underrated and there's always something going on.

Great question. I'll try to be comprehensive here.

I'm a software engineer who relocated here from Pittsburgh about 14 years ago. The main reasons were cost of living and quality of life.

Pros I've experienced:
- Nice parks and green spaces
- Lots of new development happening
- Affordable housing options

Cons that are real:
- Limited high-paying job options
- Limited entertainment options

Financially, we've found it tough compared to where we came from. The market is competitive but not impossible. Groceries are competitive, gas is tough.

Socially, it exceeded my expectations. Feel free to reach out with questions..
