The community of Bradfordville sits in the “Northtown” section of Leon County. Though close to Tallahassee, residents rarely have to go into the city to get what they need. The census-designated place has nearly 20,000 residents, many of whom are there for highly rated schools and a selection of local shopping and dining options. Yet for special occasions, like Florida State University football weekends, getting to the city’s center is easy. “It’s thriving,” says Elizabeth Ekk, an owner and broker at Ekk Realty Group. “There is lots to do, and it only takes 20 minutes to get everywhere.” Leon County residents often work in the educational services and public administration fields.
Thomasville Road leads to downtown Tallahassee as well as Midtown and Capital Circle.
William J. Montford III Middle School is an A- rated school located in the northeast area.

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.
