Living in Marsh Creek

Neighborhood Overview

Marsh Creek is an iconic St. Augustine community, renowned as the only gated golf course development on Anastasia Island. Offering a blend of luxury, privacy, and coastal convenience, it is a premier destination for full-time residents, retirees, and families looking for a structured, resort-style lifestyle.

The Gated Country Club Lifestyle

The defining feature of Marsh Creek is its exclusivity and the world-class amenities provided by the private Marsh Creek Country Club.

Championship Golf: The neighborhood is centered around a 18-hole Mark McCumber-designed golf course that winds through the natural island landscape and coastal marshes.
Active Racquet Sports: Members have access to 10 Har-Tru clay tennis courts (many lighted) and a growing pickleball community, supported by on-site pros and competitive leagues.

Where is Marsh Creek Located?

Marsh Creek is perfectly positioned on the southern end of Anastasia Island, nestled between the vibrant St. Augustine Beach community and the scenic marshes of the Matanzas River. This prime location offers a unique "island-central" geography, situated just west of A1A and bordering the expansive Intracoastal Waterway to the west.

Residents enjoy the best of both worlds: the high-level security and quiet of the island's only gated golf course community combined with immediate access to the region’s best recreation. It is strategically located roughly 10 to 12 minutes south of St. Augustine’s Historic Downtown district, allowing residents to easily transition from the world-class dining of St. George Street to the serene, sunset views over the salt marsh that define this prestigious neighborhood.

What Types of Homes Are in Marsh Creek?

Pricing: The median sale price in Marsh Creek typically ranges from $750,000 to $950,000. While smaller patio homes or original 1990s villas can sometimes be found in the mid-$600k range, expansive custom estates with panoramic views of the salt marsh or Intracoastal Waterway frequently exceed $1.5 million to $2 million.
Home Types: You’ll find a diverse architectural landscape consisting of nearly 600 homes built between the late 1980s and the early 2010s. The community features a mix of low-maintenance patio homes, mid-sized family residences, and grand estate homes. Many properties are designed to showcase their surroundings, featuring large windows, screened pool enclosures, and views of the championship golf course, private lakes, or tidal marshes
Environmental Factors: A significant portion of Marsh Creek is located in Flood Zone AE due to its location along the edge of the salt marshes and tidal creeks. While many homes were built on elevated pads to mitigate risk, flood insurance is generally required. The community’s mature canopy of oaks provides some wind protection, but residents should maintain standard coastal precautions for storm surge and tropical weather events given the proximity to the Intracoastal and the Atlantic.
