This more mature area of Gainesville is still desirable due to its relative proximity to the university as well as to companies located north of 441, such as Exactech, and in Alachua. Smaller, well-established neighborhoods built mostly in the 1960s through the 1990s are the norm. This area is experiencing a resurgence due to its affordability for first-time buyers or for those who seek to find a comfortable home that may need updating but is close to town. Buyers may find a home here anywhere from about $175k all the way to close to $300k, with the norm being somewhere in the mid $200k range.
