Ridgeview
A convenient place to call home in Northwest Gainesville
Ridgeview, a neighborhood in Gainesville's coveted Northwest corridor, is close to retail and schools. Residents walk to community parks and playgrounds while the University of Florida is within biking distance. Ridgeview is also considered an investment and rental community. Many homes are often leased to college students and employees. "A student who is in school to become a doctor or in post-grad education can look into this area because it's close to campus," says Rocky Lyon, a county resident and Realtor with Pepine Realty. "But you have a different feel than near the university."
Ridgeview homes date from the 1950s to 1980s
Ridgeview has single-story houses constructed between the 1950s and 1980s. A backdrop of pines, palmettos and oak trees often frame these homes. Residences are typically built on block or slab foundations, showing minimal traditional and ranch-style architecture. These residences span between 900 to 1,700 square feet. Homes in the community do not have homeowners associations, including those within the Pine Meadows, Ridge View and Easterwood subdivisions. Entering the market are a mix of updated turn-key properties and homes needing renovation. "Some people renovate houses with carpet and eventually tear it up to reveal these amazing wooden floors underneath," Lyon says. "Buyers are seeing unique terrazzo floors under carpet in some homes from the '50s and '60s." Home prices can range from $150,000 to $250,000, depending on the square footage and extent of renovation.
