Boat access is a spec sheet, not a checkbox
For a boating community, the details decide whether your boat actually fits the lifestyle: fixed-bridge clearances between you and open water, channel depth at low tide, slip and lift capacity, and whether slips are deeded, leased, or waitlisted. Sailboat water (no fixed bridges) commands a premium. Ask the association for the marina rules, slip fees and the waitlist status in writing.
Insurance and storage realities
Wet slips, lifts and davits each carry different insurance and maintenance profiles, and hurricane haul-out rules are written into many marina agreements. Confirm what the association requires when a storm is named, and price boat storage into your comparison if the community waitlist is long.
What it costs to own here
At St. Johns County’s typical combined millage of 13.47 mills, a purchase at $460,000 (the median across these St. Augustine boating communities) generates roughly $6,196 a year in property tax before exemptions — about $516 a month. Florida resets the assessed value to roughly your purchase price, so the seller’s current bill is not a preview of yours; a homesteaded owner then gets the $25,000–$50,000 exemption and the 3% Save Our Homes cap going forward. Citizens Property Insurance policies in St. Johns County average about $1,378 a year ($115 a month) — private-market quotes vary with roof age and wind mitigation, so price coverage before your inspection window closes. All-in, our county model puts the typical monthly cost of ownership in St. Johns County near $2,908 (principal and interest on the typical home, tax, and insurance).
Run your exact numbers: the property tax after purchase calculator uses St. Johns County’s verified millage, and the buyer closing costs calculator builds the full cash-to-close.
