Are you currently in the market for a Florida home? Well, you're not alone! Millions of people move to the Sunshine State every year, and it's truly no wonder why. With beaches, blue springs, and amusement parks galore, we have everything you need to be entertained all-year-round no matter what your cup of tea is. If you ready to take the final leap to settle down in your dream house, check out these 9 Coldwell Banker Vanguard Realty, Erin E. King MBA homes for sale in San Marco.

San Marco is one of my favorite neighborhoods near Jacksonville. Not only is this particular area full of cafes, restaurants and gorgeous water views, is it in close proximity of Florida's most historic district, St. Augustine. If I wasn't already settled down in Tampa, I'd move to Jax in a heartbeat! 

But, without further ado, check out these houses for some serious wanderlust:

1. 933 GREENRIDGE RD - ​$999,900

My first thought when I see this house is "wow, you don't see these kind of homes in Florida!" This gorgeous brick house looks like it was plucked straight from upper New York, yard and all! The home is very reasonably priced for what you get too. It's a 6 bedroom, 5 bath San Marco estate with hardwood floors, outdoor pool, large backyard and exceptional decor -- to name only a few highlights. Northerners would feel right at home (but with all the benefits of Florida-living) with a house like this.

2. 1815 LARGO RD - $​1,100,000

You can purchase your own little slice of history with this 8-bed, 7-bath triplex. This sleek estate was built by a movie producer in 1939 and it still features a lot of the original charm like wood floors and original built-in buffets and cabinets. A huge bonus is that the house is already set up to house multiple families, so get a few friends or family members together and just like that, your dream house is totally affordable!

3. 1854 SAN MARCO BLVD - ​$1,150,000

This modern 3,520sqft waterfront gem is located in the heart of San Marco's shopping district (not that you'd ever want to leave this home). The high ceilings and sweeping staircases accent the home's elegant design, complete with chandeliers, massive walk in closets and bathrooms you'd want to live in. Launch a kayak or canoe right into Lake Marco and float all your stress away.

Love being far enough away from your neighbors but close enough to all the city's best amenities?

We'll let you decide!

9. 3904 ALHAMBRA DR W - ​$6,200,000

Saving the best for last; this outstanding six-million-dollar home is a true paradise in the city.

It truly doesn't get any prettier than this.
