College Park Tallahassee, FL

A beautiful neighborhood on the edge of FSU

Urban Downtown Walkable

Wrapping around the Florida State University Museum of Fine Arts and extending south to West Pensacola Street, College Park sits directly east of the Florida State University campus. This downtown neighborhood is home to many of the city's businesses, along with sorority and fraternity houses, the FSU College of Law, and the Old City Cemetery -- a historic cemetery that opened in 1852.

While you'll find a large number of college students in College Park, this neighborhood is a great choice for those not attending classes, as well. It is a very walkable neighborhood, and the views from College Avenue are spectacular. The housing options range from soaring apartment buildings to townhomes to historic, single-family homes. The brick-paved, tree-lined sidewalks lead past a wide selection of boutiques, specialty shops, restaurants, and cafes.
