Our daughter and roommates are thinking of going to school in St. Augustine, what can we expect to pay for housing? Rent of buy? Any advice? Thanks for your help!!
Housing for Students
Room and Board is included in Flagler College tuition fee - students can live in the dorms for
tuition. Rent in historic district (near college) run from $650. up a month plus utilities for a studio apt. Water is expensive here and most apts. are set up so the tenant pays for the water.
Houses can be rented and rent and utilities shared by students. Lincolnville you can rent houses for $950 and up (2 - 3 bedroom ) plus utilities.
Places on the island (not on the water) can be rented for the same amount, I would say.
Housing is not easy to find just for college
season, however. You would probably have to pay rent for the entire year even tho students won%26#39;t be here a full calendar year. Also what is available off campus goes fast; you almost have to call the same day to rent before someone else.
Living in town is the best especially if students don%26#39;t own cars.
If students have a car and don%26#39;t mind commuting 10 - 15 miles, I am sure there are places in the sticks for rent for less (mobile homes perhaps.)
Housing for Students
There are loads of rental properties all over. Check St. Augustine South which is 4 miles south of town, not far at all really. If you%26#39;re actually thinking of buying, then by all means buy. It%26#39;s not going to do anything but go up in value.
