More gems added to West King, St Augustine

You may already know I’m pretty excited about the evolution of West Augustine.  This is the area of St Augustine near West King St and Highway 1. In August last year, I purchased half an acre with two homes in the area.

Having lived in Park Slope, Brooklyn, and near Abbot Kinney in LA, when both were gentrifying, I can sense the potential and opportunity in this part of town.  Lincolnville and West King Street are already becoming destinations in their own right.  If you don’t mind a few quirks and fixer uppers, and you want to hold real estate to build equity, now is the right time to invest in this area.

If you’re a foodie or into fun shopping experiences, get West King St on your list.

Here’s why.  But first, let’s start with the big news:

The Blue Hen Café has moved from Lincolnville to West King St!

Other highlights on West King:

New parking garage proposed at the Broudy’s site. This will add 750 parking spaces.

Coastal Home by Vintage Chic: French country home furnishings & decor

The Local Refillery: Spices, soaps, coffee, matcha and other interesting ingredients.

Ms Elizabeth Boutique: Women’s clothing boutique

Epik Beauty

Sweet City Cupcakes

Muggsy’s Bar

The West Egg

Murfs Homestyle to Go

Maestro Winery

Broudy’s Fine Wine & Spirits

Sail Bird Distilling: Small batch, handcrafted whiskey distillery

Buena Onda Café

Old Town Pizza & Tavern

The Bog

Tacos My Blessing Food Truck

And then there’s West King Wednesday.  An open house of sorts for the retailers on West King happens on the second Wednesday of the month.  See live music and discover what’s new here, 10am – 10pm.

Stay tuned for more developments as the area is continually evolving!
