High Springs Community School

It's a strong fit for families who want small-town pace, larger lots, and a single well-regarded K-8 school anchoring the community. The nearby Santa Fe River and springs add real outdoor appeal, and 143 homes sold here over the past year, so it's an active, established market. Buyers who value quiet over convenience to Gainesville tend to be happiest here.

It's mid-range for the region. The median list price is $349,000 and homes average $220 per square foot, but the range runs from $69,900 all the way to $950,000, so there's room for tighter budgets. You can see the full spread on the live map.

Expect a median list price around $349,000 for a typical home near 1,680 square feet. Over the last 12 months the median sold price came in at $333,500, so buyers are generally negotiating close to but slightly under list. That gap gives you a realistic target when you write an offer.

It's balanced and steady. With 55 active listings and a median of 34 days on market, homes are selling at a healthy pace without the frenzy of a hot market. Sellers averaged 97% of asking across 143 sales in the past year, so well-priced homes still move and buyers have modest room to negotiate.

Carrying costs are light here. The median HOA runs just $22 per month, and most of the zone has no association at all, while median property taxes sit around $3,469 per year. If you're renting instead, the median rent is about $2,000 per month.
