Rural, as a listing heading in St. Augustine, gathers homes in St. Johns County that lie outside the named subdivisions, on the country roads west and south of the historic city. Away from the waterfront and the planned communities along the coast, this is agricultural and wooded country: larger parcels, scattered houses, small farms and long stretches of pine flatwoods and oak hammock between them. Housing here is individual rather than uniform, with homes built at different times on their own land, and day-to-day life depends on driving into St. Augustine for schools, shopping and services, with public schools operated by St. Johns County School District. The Matanzas River, the beaches and downtown's colonial streets remain within reach to the east, but the immediate setting is quiet, open and low-density.
