This month we are focusing on a very special neighborhood in World Golf Village’s King & Bear community, WildWood! Davidson Realty agent Jennifer Todd joins us as we tour the neighborhood and highlight some of its best features like the beautiful forested conservation land surrounding the homesites and its quiet, family-friendly cul-de-sacs.

WildWood is the only neighborhood inside the King & Bear that is nestled within the largest preservation area in the community (28.1 acres). As you enter WildWood, the view before you is a 1,100’ long vista through a park, over a lake to the backdrop of conservation where there are frequent sightings of wild turkey and native deer.

CNN is another in a long line of media outlets to name St. Augustine one of the best places to retire.  In October, CNNMoney listed St. Augustine as one of “25 Best Places to Retire” in a list that also included Winston-Salem, NC, Austin, TX, Tucson, AZ, and Louisville, KY.  St. Augustine was the only Florida city to make the cut.

The article highlighted “St. Augustine’s fantastic weather, beautiful beaches, and world-class golf” as well as its “active year-round community,” housing options and Flagler Hospital.  In recent years, SmartMoney listed St. Augustine as one of nine “Best New Places to Retire,” Wall Street Journal’s MarketWatch listed St. Augustine as one of the “10 Best Places to Retire in the U.S,” and Bloomberg Businessweek listed St. Augustine as one of “America’s Best Affordable Places to Retire.”

Couple Walking 2The singer/songwriter, Joe South, famously recorded the song, Walk a Mile in My Shoes. The commonly used refrain about “walking a mile in my shoes” refers to being non-judgmental of others. Humorously, it is often extended to “before you criticize someone, walk a mile in his shoes – then when you do criticize that person, you’ll be a mile away and have his shoes”. Some say that research shows the sentiment is rooted in old, Cherokee Indian, native-American wisdom. It remains wonderful advice – “don’t judge a person until you have walked a mile in their shoes”.
