GalleryOur Guide to St. Augustine’s Historic District
St. Augustine. It’s one of the oldest places in the United States and one of the most heavily visited.
We at ICI Homes promise it’s worth it. The Ancient City is less than 50 miles south of Jacksonville and under 100 miles north of Daytona Beach.

You’ll find six centuries of architecture, history and just plain “wow” moments. It’s also easy to find great photo opportunities and food and drink.
