Gainesville Real Estate

The Gainesville real estate market is in and around the county seat of and largest city in Alachua County in Florida.

The Gainesville real estate market is stabilized by the fact that the city is home to the University of Florida. The presence of the University of Florida helps the Gainesville real estate market to remain somewhat stabilized because the graduates from the University of Florida will often look to buy or rent properties in the region after they graduate in order to maintain ties with other people that they have met while attending the University, and to build a new life for themselves after they finish school.

To a lesser extent, the Gainesville real estate market is also helped since Santa Fe College is also located in Gainesville. In addition, individuals who want to move off campus while still in school may help the Gainesville real estate rental market.

In 2007, the area was rated the number one place to live in the annual edition of Cities Ranked and Rated, while National Geographic Adventure raked the Gainesville real estate market as one of the "best places to live and party" in the same year.

The residential Gainesville real estate market is based in Northeast Gainesville Residential District, the Southeast Gainesville Residential District, and the Pleasant Street Historic District.
