St Augustine I

St Augustine I is one of the gated communities within the Seacliff area of Huntington Beach. It was built by Christopher Homes, whose St Augustine designs won Best in American Living architecture awards in 1999, and it sits near Garfield Avenue and Peninsula Lane, roughly four to five blocks from the beach. Homes are predominantly two-story single-family residences, with some single-story plans, in a Cape Cod style marked by gabled roofs, dormer windows, and clapboard detailing.

St Augustine is built in two adjacent gated sections, St Augustine I and St Augustine II, which share the same builder, era, and design language. Together they total roughly 140 homes, about 70 in each section. Floor plans range from roughly 1,786 to about 3,000 square feet, generally three to five bedrooms, with a private community pool, spa, and cabana behind the gate.

Ratowsky Group reads St Augustine on the specific plan, lot, and current comparable sales. The two sections are close enough that buyers routinely cross them up, so confirming which section a home is in, and pulling the right comps, is part of the work.

The HOA covers the gated entrance, common-area landscape, the community pool and spa, and security. Published dues figures vary across sources, so confirm the current amount and coverage against the HOA documents for the specific listing. School assignment generally runs Huntington Seacliff Elementary, Ethel Dwyer Middle School, and Huntington Beach High School, but should be verified at the address with the districts.

Recent sales in St Augustine have generally fallen in the high one-million to high two-million range in 2024 and 2025, depending on plan, condition, and lot, with some homes above three million. Treat that as background, not a price: for a specific home, the right tool is a current comparable-sales review rather than a published average.
