You may not have heard, yet, of Alachua County, but it’s high time that you did. There is a collection of picturesque towns and rural areas that comprise the county and any one of them can offer a quality way of life. Imagine that Gainesville is the central part of a wheel, with roads as spokes radiating out from it: High Springs, Alachua, LaCrosse, Waldo, Melrose, Hawthorne, Cross Creek, Evinston, Micanopy, Archer, and Newberry. They’re all close to Gainesville and offer the best values both in homes and in lifestyle.
Purchase your piece of Alachua County real estate, and experience an interesting combination of a rich history along with high-tech and cutting-edge innovations. And add to that a diverse geography that will keep you constantly engaged with your new home. In the north there’s high country with dry woodlands, ranches, and rivers. In the south, the land falls away to savannas, prairies, lakes and wetlands. Conservation areas will provide you with outdoor recreation along with fantastic views of eagles, osprey, otters, and bison.
You may think that you know Florida, but you’ve never experienced the kind of warm welcome that the friendly neighbors of Alachua have to offer. And no matter what career and job choices those neighbors have made, they’re united in caring about the Alachua environment. You might even want to get in on the environmentally conscious Florida-Friendly Landscaping that promotes container gardens, edible landscapes, community gardens, and native plantings.
We’ve got downtown urban, rural farmstead, and everything in between. Short commutes make it possible to live and work in the place that appeals to you. Select from historic neighborhoods, planned communities, subdivisions, small towns, horse farms or downtown condos. And the best part is that no matter where you choose to buy Alachua County real estate, you’ll be close to all the rest!
And if you choose urban living, remember that Gainesville is ranked in the top-ten bicycle-friendly cities in the US! Dedicated bike lanes, bike racks on city buses, and bike racks for locking up at many businesses make cycling a healthy and popular option for getting around town. Not only that, but you can do it year-round in Gainesville’s mild climate!
So consider making your move to Florida’s best-kept secret: the Alachua County real estate of your dreams awaits!
