We always enjoy getting to know our World Golf Village neighbors, and with so many incoming residents, we get new folks to meet all the time! And it was a special pleasure to meet Erica and Clayton Thompson.
The family of six (with another on the way) recently moved to the Murabella neighborhood. Erica recently found time to fit us into her (very) busy schedule and introduce us to her family.
Where did you move from? We moved here all the way from Jacksonville.
Where are you and Clayton from originally?Both of our families relocated to the Jacksonville area when we were younger, mine from Kentucky and Clayton’s from Virginia.
You are looking for a new home – and you are looking in all the right neighborhoods. Our location, on Florida’s First Coast, should satisfy your expectations and suit your most every need.
As you preview homes, you will be best rewarded if you consider curbs, commons and community along with the attention you focus on curtains, countertops and cupboards. What I mean is – the layout, character, atmosphere and overall environment of a neighborhood is equally as important as the fixtures, features, style and condition of the home you will ultimately choose. Of course, the neighborhood amenities and its proximity to schools, shops, services, entertainment, work and play is also tremendously important.
Local film buffs are buttering their popcorn and gearing up for the 7th Annual St. Augustine Film Festival, coming January 21 and 22!
Presented by Flagler College, the event will feature more than 40 films—many international—shown in five local theaters including Flagler’s Lewis Auditorium, the Gamache Theatre, and three screens at the Corazon Theatre. Some viewings will even feature special guests like directors, writers and actors.
More and more homeowners would like to rent out their home but need more flexibility, and others like the option to stay in their home while it’s not being rented. If this describes you, it is a great time to consider a short-term lease.
And now, Davidson Property Management (DPM), a sister company of Davidson Realty, is expanding its repertoire to include short-term leases (leases between three and six months). DPM is now looking for homes to lease for these shorter terms.
As New Year’s Eve approaches, we are all thinking about how we will cap off the holiday season, whether partying the night away or watching fireworks with our family. No matter how you like to ring in the New Year, there is the perfect celebration for you somewhere on the First Coast! Here are the best goings-on around the area for each celebration style.

The entire family is invited to enjoy the fun, which includes the following activities:
For Dr. Jason Ouellette, orthodontics is truly a family affair. He is a second-generation orthodontist who launched his own office in January 2016 on Twincourt Trail. There, he carries on the tradition set by his father—to provide the best in orthodontic care to his patients.
We recently caught up with Dr. Ouellette and his outstanding staff to learn more about Affordable Braces.

St. Augustine is a special little town known for its Spanish architecture, history, shopping and outstanding restaurants. Davidson Realty’s Graphic Designer Matt Burkhart and I recently took a trip to the oldest city in search of the best happy hour spots in town. Luckily for us, the locals were happy to point us to the three best places to stop and wet your whistle during the day!
