South Gainesville is a residential section of town in the lush lands of central Florida. The neighborhood lies immediately south of the University of Florida, making it popular with those affiliated with the university. But the city is appealing to more than just students. This verdant area is filled with all types of outdoor adventure, from Alachua Lake Overlook to the streams and lakes that wind through town. More outdoor recreation is available outside of the city’s bounds. Despite being in central Florida, residents enjoy a short hour-and-a-half drive east or west to the Atlantic beaches. Renters looking for a place in South Gainesville will find a variety of options suited for almost every renter.

The GreatSchools Rating helps parents compare schools within a state based on a variety of school quality indicators and provides a helpful picture of how effectively each school serves all of its students. Ratings are on a scale of 1 (below average) to 10 (above average) and can include test scores, college readiness, academic progress, advanced courses, equity, discipline and attendance data. We also advise parents to visit schools, consider other information on school performance and programs, and consider family needs as part of the school selection process.

Great place to live, staff is friendly and listens to concerns
Property Manager at Ridgemar Commons, Responded To This Review
Hello, thank you for sharing your positive experience at Ridgemar Commons! Feel free to reach out to us if you need anything. Have a wonderful day.
I recently moved in and couldn’t be happier with my choice. The staff is incredibly friendly and attentive, making the leasing process smooth and enjoyable. I had the pleasure of working with Kaela. The amenities are top-notch, especially the pool and gym. The location is perfect—close to Archer for shopping and restaurants and transportation to UF. My apartment itself is spacious and well-maintained, with great views and plenty of natural light. Overall, I highly recommend Ridgemar Commons to anyone looking for a comfortable and welcoming place to live!
Property Manager at Ridgemar Commons, Responded To This Review
Thank you so much for your kind words! We’re thrilled to hear that you’re loving your new home at Ridgemar Commons. Our team works hard to make the leasing process as smooth as possible, so it’s wonderful to know it was a positive experience for you! We’re glad you’re enjoying the amenities and that the location is convenient for all your needs! Thanks again for the warm recommendation. If there’s ever anything you need, please let us know! Have a wonderful day.
Since the day of move in (Aug-1-2024) we are having dryer issue problems. I have visiting the leasing office multiple times, but the issue was not fixed. Today the manager of Ridgemar Commons was yelling at me saying dryer issues are not an emergency issues. She asked me to dry our clothes in shower room. Please find a good place where people treat you nicely. DON'T MOVE HERE
Property Manager at Ridgemar Commons, Responded To This Review
Thank you for sharing your feedback. We’re truly sorry to hear that you felt your concerns were not addressed with the care and attention you deserve. We always strive to ensure all our residents feel valued and heard. We’d like to clarify what happened during your recent visit to our office. At the time, we were dealing with a medical emergency involving another resident, which required our immediate attention. I apologize if this situation led to any misunderstandings. I had to speak over the injured resident we were assisting when you came in to inquire about your dryer, which was certainly not intended to come across as rude or dismissive. Regarding your dryer, I want to emphasize that we did replace it that same day to resolve the issue as quickly as possible. We understand how inconvenient it is to be without a fully functioning appliance, and we're sorry for the disruption this caused. Please know that we're here to help with any future concerns, and we hope to continue improving your experience in our community. Thank you for bringing this to our attention. We will use your comments to refine our efforts to ensure this issue does not happen again.
The maintenance here is wonderful! They come check is a very timely manner, and they do a good job at solving the issue. Also, the location is conveniently located next to 34th Street, but tucked away, so it isn't too noise. I have also always felt safe here, and the area around it is pretty safe as well. The apartments are well kept and comfortable. Overall, a wonderful place to be, and I would recommend it to anyone.

Hello, thank you for sharing your positive experience at Ridgemar Commons. We strive for 100% satisfaction and the fact that you acknowledged our efforts is very much appreciated. If you ever need anything else from us, please feel free to give us a call or stop by the office. Have an awesome day!
Everything has exceeded my expectations since moving in. The office staff is great, maintenance is amazing and I love the location of the property. Living here is FIRE!
I had the greatest experience renting my apartment here. The staff is amazing, maintenance is top-notch and everything is so clean! I'm in a fabulous location close to everything I need! I will be here for a long time to come!
Ridgemar Commons is a great place to live! The maintenance staff is quick to respond to complaints (yes they do come into your apartment but they don't barge in and they do ask to come in when you submit a request online). During Hurricane Irma, our roof started to leak, and we reached out to maintenance about coming to fix it. They weren't able to during the storm obviously, but we were able to control it and then fixed in the next available day they were safely able to work. The place is a little expensive for a 2 bed 1 bath, but its worth it for the PRIME LOCATION to UF. It is an apartment complex, and you may hear your neighbors, but at least the ones around me are super nice and we all seem to be on the same type of schedules - young professional or graduate students (AKA courteous and quiet!). We got a dog in the middle of our lease, and the leasing office was super quick to provide any paperwork we needed for getting a dog without any hesitation. There are a lot of clean up stations around the property, and for the most part, people pick up after their pets! The dog park is popular and the dogs here are super friendly! We are moving after a year only because we found another place to live that was free, or else we wouldn't have moved. We enjoyed our time here and I would recommend it! Great location, great staff, great dog park/green areas for dogs to walk around, and a good place to live!
Do not live here if you value your privacy. The maintenance can bang on your door in the morning and ask you to not use your kitchen for an unspecified amount of time. They do not even wait a minute for you to open before barging in with their own keys. They often do work in the apartment and you are expected to put your life on hold till they are done, and they make it look like they are doing you a favor. I once told them that they could not come in but when I returned from work, they had already used their keys to get in and start work. The grounds are not cleaned properly, and there are less expensive options very close by, with the same facilities.
The apartment staff are friendly and courteous. Even made worked overtime to assist move in on an off day. The neighbors are friendly and quit. The pond behind the apartment is serene and helps in me getting a good night's rest. Animals are all quit. You wouldn't know they allowed them. Amenities are also great. Couldn't ask for a better place to stay.
