W. W. Irby Elementary School FAQs
Is the W. W. Irby Elementary zone a good place to live?+
It's a solid fit for families who want small-town Alachua living with a clear school pipeline into A. L. Mebane Middle School and Santa Fe High School. The community leans steady and residential, with a mix of established neighborhoods and 65 new-construction listings currently available. The pace of life and the pace of the market both feel unhurried.
Is it expensive to buy here?+
Not by regional standards — the median list price is $344,250, and homes have sold over the past year at a median of $325,000. Prices range widely, from $145,000 up to $2,000,000, so there's genuine entry-level opportunity alongside a smaller luxury tier of 12 homes listed above $1M.

How is the market right now?+
It's balanced and steady. Homes take a median of 64 days to sell, 397 have sold in the past 12 months, and sellers are getting about 98% of their asking price — meaning there's room to negotiate but not deep discounting.
What should I know about HOA fees and taxes?+
Carrying costs here are modest: the median HOA fee is just $50 a month, and median property taxes run about $3,274 per year. Only 11 active listings are in gated communities, so many Alachua homes for sale come with little or no HOA at all.
