The James Rickards High School zone sits on Tallahassee's south side, a stretch of the capital city where established neighborhoods and a wide range of price points give buyers real options. It shares its footprint with familiar area schools and communities like Sail, John G Riley Elementary School, and Griffin Middle School, so families tend to put down roots here.
The current market is thin — just one active listing at $99,900, so anything that comes on doesn't last. Over the past year five homes sold at a median of $270,000, which tells you the entry price and the true market are two different stories. If you're serious, check Tallahassee homes for sale and watch the live map daily, because opportunities move fast in this zone.

Straight answers
James Rickards High School FAQs
Is the James Rickards High School zone a good place to live?+
It's an established part of south Tallahassee with real neighborhood character and ties to schools like Griffin Middle School. Families who value being settled near local schools tend to stay, and the low median property tax of around $413 a year makes it easy to hold long term.
Is it expensive to buy here?+
Not by most Florida standards — the current active listing is priced at $99,900 and average price per square foot runs about $116. That said, the median sold price over the last year was $270,000, so the real market depends on what type of home comes available.
What do homes cost in this zone?+
Right now there's a single active listing at $99,900, with a median home size around 864 square feet. Looking at actual closings, five homes sold in the past 12 months at a median of $270,000, which is a better gauge of the full range you can browse on the live map.
How is the market here?+
It's tight and quick — with just one active listing and a median of one day on market, homes don't linger. Sellers are getting about 92% of asking on average, so there's still modest room to negotiate on the right property in this part of Tallahassee.
What about HOA fees and property taxes?+
Property taxes are a highlight here, with a median of roughly $413 per year. HOA data isn't listed for this zone, which is common for its older neighborhoods, so most buyers won't face monthly association dues. For context, median rent in the area runs about $2,800 a month.
