Living in one of Gainesville's historic districts
The Pleasant Street neighborhood is culturally relevant and rich in history. Many families in the community have lived here for several generations. There is also a growing population of new residents and college students. Over the last few years, the area has undergone significant housing and commercial development. However, historical markers like Mount Pleasant Methodist Episcopal Church and Dunbar Hotel remain local landmarks. "What's unique about Pleasant Street is that there are a lot of historic homes in the area. A lot of old Gainesville started here," says Keelan Cox, a Gainesville native and Realtor with Keller Williams Gainesville Realty Partners. "This is a cool area, from downtown shows, events and festivals," Cox says. "It’s a nice place to live and grow up." Pleasant Street remains a more single-family residential area than the neighboring Fifth Avenue community.
