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.
