What this looks like in St. Augustine
About St. Augustine, FL. St. Augustine is the oldest continuously occupied European-founded settlement in the United States, set on Florida's northeast coast with a historic core dominated by colonial-era fabric, the Castillo de San Marcos, and a tightly preserved street grid. Surrounding the historic center are coastal residential neighborhoods, gated communities, and a steady second-home market drawn to the beach and historic character.
What it means for multi-gen households. St. Johns County and the City of St. Augustine both apply, and the Historic Architectural Review Board governs exterior work in the historic district under some of the strictest preservation rules in the state — material, fenestration, and roof-form decisions are reviewed in detail. Coastal parcels work under Florida Building Code with hurricane-exposure provisions, FEMA flood-zone elevations, and St. Johns County coastal construction rules. Typical work is sympathetic remodels of historic homes, custom coastal homes in surrounding gated communities, and boutique hospitality work near the historic core.
Who You Are
You're a sandwich-generation household — kids at home or in college, aging parent moving in (often from out of state). You've got a half-acre or larger lot. You need a real, code-compliant ADU — not a converted garage. You worry about Greenville County zoning, septic capacity, and resale impact.
What You're Solving For
What Success Looks Like
Three outcomes that actually matter. Not features. Not corporate-speak.
Mom's independence and yours — both intact
Detached ADUs with their own kitchen, bath, mechanical, and entrance. Family stays together; everyone keeps their privacy.
It looks like it was always there
Trim profiles, rooflines, and material selections matched to your existing home. Not a backyard shed with electrical — a structure that adds resale value, not subtracts it.
Greenville County zoning, handled
We pull permits, navigate detached-ADU rules, evaluate septic capacity, and walk you through HOA review. The paperwork doesn't fall on you.
