One of the most historic and naturally lovely areas in Gainesville, the Northeast sadly saw a decline during the last few decades. Today, it’s on the rise as a popular place for first time buyers seeking to live relatively close to UF. Home prices in the Northeast have seen a steady incline during the past five years, and homes and neighborhoods are being revamped to reflect its growing popularity. Home of two of Gainesville’s most treasured eating spots, Satchel’s and Public & General, the Eastside is attracting more and more people from the Westside, which is only adding to its new appeal.
