Joseph Williams Elementary School

It's a steady, family-oriented part of Gainesville with an approachable price point and ties to well-known schools like Gainesville High School. The 34 homes sold over the past year show a market that's active without being overheated. If you want practical value close to the university city, it's an easy fit.

Not by most Florida standards — the median list price is $229,800 and homes have sold at a median of $197,700 over the last 12 months. Entry-level listings start around $90,000, though the range climbs to $2,100,000 for the rare high-end property. Most buyers here are shopping well under the statewide median.

Expect roughly $182 per square foot on a median home size of 1,306 square feet, which puts many properties in the low-to-mid $200,000s. There are two listings above $1M and two new-construction options, but the core inventory is modest, affordable homes. You can see current pricing on the live map.

There are 23 active listings and homes are taking a median of 83 days to sell, so it favors thoughtful buyers over quick bidders. Sellers are still getting about 98% of asking, meaning well-priced homes hold their value. With 34 sales in the past year, there's consistent turnover to work with.

The median HOA runs about $460 per month, though that varies widely by community, so check the specific listing. Property taxes come in around $2,653 per year at the median, and rentals here average about $1,600 per month if you're weighing an investment.
