For a small city (about 140,000), Gainesville, Florida has a lot to offer, including outstanding medical care, music, art, theater, shopping, great restaurants, a university environment that is passionate about its sports teams, and, of course, a wide variety of homes and condominiums. Gainesville is 57 miles from Cedar Key, a small fishing town on the Gulf of Mexico, about 75 miles from St. Augustine and the Atlantic coast, and 114 miles from Orlando with all its attractions.  There are about 400 churches and religious organizations in Gainesville, and over 30 miles of biking and hiking trails.

In the center of downtown Gainesville is the intersection of Main Street and University Avenue, and from that point the city is divided into four quadrants, the northwest, the southwest, the northeast, and the southeast.  Each quadrant has something special to offer, and it is important to shop for a home in a location that suits your needs and interests. 

For whatever reason you are considering Gainesville as your home, be assured that you will find it a charming and welcoming city.  Do pay us a visit.  You will be glad you did!
