About the Community
Gainesville sits at the intersection of nature and culture in north central Florida, surrounded by seven state parks and more than 30 miles of biking and hiking trails where wildlife — birds, bison, wild horses, and alligators — roam freely. The city offers a reasonable cost of living, strong real estate values, highly-rated public, private, and charter schools, and easy access to major airports and the Atlantic Coast. Outdoor enthusiasts can canoe scenic rivers, dive crystal-clear freshwater springs, float Ichetucknee Springs State Park, or pursue golf, boating, fishing, kayaking, zip-lining, and horseback riding — all within the region. A thriving "farm to fork" dining scene, local breweries, farmer's markets, and the energy of a major university town round out a lifestyle that is genuinely hard to match in Florida.
