J W Moodys is a subdivision in St. Augustine, the St. Johns County seat on Florida's Atlantic coast, in the flat, pine-dotted country west and south of the historic downtown. Like many St. Augustine plats, the name preserves a family from the city's earlier landholding history, when a handful of old families held much of the land around the ancient city. Homes in subdivisions like this one are generally single-family houses on established residential streets, within reach of the US 1 corridor's shopping and services. The Matanzas River, the Intracoastal Waterway and the beaches of Anastasia Island are a short drive east, and the Castillo de San Marcos and the historic district anchor the city's life. Public schools are part of St. Johns County School District. See the J W Moodys homes currently listed below.
