I will be relocating to Palatka -Putnama County- next month.
I am looking for 1 bed apt. around $700/month + utilities. Either in Palatka or within a radius of 12 miles from Palatka. any suggestions?
Any tips will be greatly appreciated.
Thanks in advance

It's known, but it's quite small and quiet. There might be apartment buildings there (I've never noticed any), but it's mostly small homes and trailers, so you'd likely be renting from an individual. Maybe Craigslist? If you don't see any ads for a rental there, you might want to post your own.


You might want to consider renting in St. Augustine (plenty of rentals) and doing the commute (shouldn't be too bad...30 mins or so?). This is what I would do if I were working in Palatka.

Hope that helps .

Palatka is a sleepy little town on the St. John's River. I'm quite sure there are pleanty of rental properties right in Palatka - it's not that small. If it were me, I'd take a day out, go up there and just find a place - there's really no substitute for that.

you'll find many rentals in palatka but most are done by indivdual owners so you'll have to look down here


good luck

the communte from st augustine over over 30 mins and can get very tedious indeed

Try the local paper: Palatka, Florida. The Palatka Daily News. Palatka & Putnam County, Fla. only local news source.
Classifieds section.

As mentioned above, in the smaller cities, in-person searches are best, but there are some online rentals for St. Augustine.

Here's one I found on realtor.com, just to give you an example:

It may not look fancy, but The Shores is a safe, stable, large development about 15 mins or so from the beach. It is also far enough south in St. Augustine to make a commute to Palatka feasible.

Here's another. This one is at The Conquistador, which is a condo inside of The Shores (there are a few condo developments in The Shores):

*I would avoid the rental listings for The World Golf Village and Wingfield Glen......these are too far north in St. John's county for your commute.

There were some rentals under Palatka too on realtor.com, but I'm not as familiar with the subdivisions there to know what is decent or not...give it a search though.

I don't see a category for St. Augustine or Palatka on Craigslist, so any listings are probably under Jacksonville:

http://jacksonville.craigslist.org/

(there is a "housing wanted" category in case you wanted to list there)

Hope this helps .
