Gainesville Overview

Folks that are looking for apartments in Gainesville, FL can choose bustling, larger communities near the University of Florida campus, or choose smaller, quieter buildings downtown or in the outer neighborhoods. Gainesville has all the amenities you look for in a larger university city, but encased in a small geographic area with an extensive transit system that makes it easy to get around.

What is the history of Gainesville?

Once the home of the Timucuan Indians, the land that became Gainesville was part of a Spanish land grant in 1817. It became a part of the newly formed state of Florida in 1824. Gainesville grew exponentially following the opening of the University of Florida in 1906, and by the 1970's boasted a well-preserved historic downtown and several residential neighborhoods.

How is the weather in Gainesville?

Those who love warm weather are right at home in Gainesville, with average highs of 91 degrees in July and 66 in January. Gainesville averages less than 50 inches of rainfall per year, allowing for plenty of time outside in the sun.

How do I get around town?

Locals with lots of errands to run need a car in Gainesville, but those who like to bike find Gainesville a great city to pedal around. For those who prefer to walk, the Downtown, Pleasant Street, Fifth Avenue and Duckpond neighborhoods are a good place to call home. The Regional Transit System runs an extensive bus service in and around Gainesville, and the city has its own regional airport. Jacksonville International Airport is about 90 minutes away.

What is the Gainesville commute like?

Because the city is geographically small and so many commuters take advantage of public transportation, people in Gainesville enjoy the shortest commuting times in Florida. Those who need to get out of town need only hop on the nearby Route 75 to travel either north or south.

What are the local media outlets?

WHHZ 100.5 offers Gainesville listeners a great rock mix, while those who prefer country tune in to WOGK 93.7. WUFT is a University of Florida radio station that offers local news and sports. Readers catch up local and national news reading the Gainesville Sun or the student-run Independent Florida Alligator.

Why live in Gainesville, FL?

With its blend of big university life, a thriving downtown and slower-paced historical neighborhoods, Gainesville has a little something for everyone. People can step out of their apartments in Gainesville and find themselves a short trip away from major college sports, great food or a night of theater.

What Gainesville landmarks should I see?

If you love university towns, you'll be happy in an apartment in Gainesville, which boasts not just the University of Florida but also Sante Fe College. Downtown Gainesville has several historic buildings and hosts a farmer's market and space for bands.

What is there to do around Gainesville?

"Football fans flock to Ben Hill Griffin Stadium, otherwise known as ""The Swamp,"" to watch the perennial powerhouse University of Florida Gators football team. The school hosts Division I games in all major college sports and has its own theater for those looking to catch a play. The city offers several top restaurants, hometown eateries and coffee shops."

Any annual festivals or Gainesville events to know?

People get to dress up and have fun each January at the Hoggetowne Medieval Festival at the Alachua County Fairgrounds. Those who love movies attend the Cinema Verde Film Fest in February, and for something a little different attend the Florida Bat Festival in October.

Where are the nearby vacation spots?

While there are several smaller parks closer to Gainesville, people who want a real outdoor experience travel about 90 minutes to the Ocala National Forest for hiking and camping. Cool off on hot days at the Adventure Landing water park, a little over an hour away near Jacksonville.

Where is the best place to move in Gainesville?

If you love university life, apartments in the University Park or Southwest Gainesville neighborhoods are for you. Both offer several small and large apartment buildings, with most amenities close by. Things slow down a bit more in Northwest Gainesville, and those seeking a bit of history and interesting architecture can choose apartments in the Duckpond neighborhood. The walkable Downtown neighborhood is great for those who don't want to rely on a car to get around.
