A large suburb in East Gainesville

Highland Court Manor, on Gainesville's eastside, has a blend of single and multifamily homes, commercial properties and public green spaces. Houses in the community are priced relatively lower than those in the rest of the metro area. There is also considerable movement on the market compared to surrounding communities. "Highland Court Manor has affordability and a great location," says Keelan Cox, a Gainesville native and Realtor with Keller Williams Gainesville Realty Partners. "Buyers have the ability to flip homes and make an income." Houses are concentrated on the eastern side, while the west contains commercial properties and timberlands for the lumber industry. The area also benefits from Gainesville's Wild Spaces and Public Spaces initiative, with a nearby golf club and a large conservation area open to the public.

Renovated homes in Highland Court Manor

Highland Court Manor contains midcentury modern ranch-style homes from the late 1950s to 1970s. The houses are constructed using concrete blocks or bricks and have front yards shaded by trees. There are also multifamily units available near the neighborhood's southern edge. "A lot of people buy homes to renovate, so this area has a good amount of rentals in addition to new, first-time buyers," Cox says. Many residences feature updated electric panels, plumbing systems and new roofs. A handful of properties have been leveled to make room for new traditional-style houses built within the last three years. "What's very attractive in Highland Court Manor to a lot of homebuyers is that not only are the homes relatively affordable, but they are also inside a major flip area in the city," Cox says. Typically, housing prices range between $175,000 and $300,000. However, a newly constructed home may cost buyers around $375,000.

Highland Missionary Baptist Church has been a part of the community since 1968. Commuters can find bus stops down NE 23rd Avenue and NE 15th Street.
