It's a solid fit for buyers who want an attainable, family-friendly corner of Gainesville with access to established schools. The zone feeds into names like Kanapaha Middle School and F. W.

Compared to much of Florida, no — the median list price sits at $275,445, with listings ranging from $155,000 up to $397,000. There are currently no homes priced above $1M in this zone, which keeps it firmly in attainable territory.

Expect a median list price around $275,445 and an average of about $197 per square foot on a typical 1,362-sqft home. Over the last 12 months the median sold price was $270,000, so list and sold prices track closely.

It's balanced and steady, with 40 active listings and a median 43.5 days on market. Sellers are averaging 98% of asking price, which means well-priced homes move while buyers still have room to negotiate — you can track current activity on the live map.

Where an HOA applies, the median fee runs about $105 per month, and median property taxes are roughly $3,673 per year. For comparison, median rent in the area is about $2,150 per month, which helps frame the buy-versus-rent math.
