A quiet suburb near UF, downtown and 13th Street
The Oakview suburb is a residential haven close to the busy commercial route, NW 13th Street and the University of Florida. "The community has a mix of businesses, apartments and residential homes," says Laura Bialeck, a Gainesville resident who works in Oakview. "We are only 1 mile from the UF campus. You see a mix here, from working to retired people, professors, and students, both college and grade school." Bialeck is the Community Development Coordinator at LifeSouth Community Blood Centers, a neighborhood fixture for almost 50 years. The area surrounding Oakview is home to several establishments that are vital to the city. Beyond the commercial properties are seasoned 20th-century homes with a dense treescape that reflects the neighborhood's name.
