Directly across the street from the neighborhood is Gainesville Health & Fitness, which offers gym equipment, personal trainers and exercise classes.The decorated Buchholz Band and Aviance
Mill Pond falls under Alachua County Public Schools, and kids can head to Myra Terwilliger Elementary School, graded a C on Niche, before going to B-plus-rated Kanapaha Middle School. F.W. Buchholz High School receives an A and is rated the second-best high school in Alachua County. Buchholz has two magnet programs: the Academy of Finance and Entrepreneurship. It's also well-known for the Buchholz Band and Aviance, which has marched in the Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade and was the grand champion in the 2019 Crown Jewel Marching Band Festival.Navigating Gainesville via Interstate 75
The neighborhood is bordered by I-75 and Florida State Road 26. Known as Newberry Road, Florida State Road 26 is lined with bus stops run by the Gainesville Regional Transit System. North Florida Hospital, one of the leading medical centers in the city alongside Shands Hospital, is only a mile away. When residents need to catch flights, Delta, American and Silver Airlines operate out Gainesville Regional Airport, 10 miles away.Butler Plaza, one of Florida's biggest shopping plazas
Nearby Oaks Square and The Oaks Mall off Newberry Road offer residents shopping and dining convenience within a mile of home. The Oaks Mall and surrounding outlets are filled with national and global retailers, as well as Publix and Walgreens. Butler Plaza, recognized as one of Florida's most visited outdoor plazas, is just 4 miles away. "The city built an overpass from Butler Plaza to this new area called Celebration Pointe. It's like the new kid on the block," says Craig Wilburn, a Realtor of 22 years with Keller Williams Gainesville. "They're turning it into a mixed-use space. There's a sports and entertainment facility that just went up that everyone is really excited for."

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.
