A convenient place to call home in Northwest Gainesville
Ridgeview, a neighborhood in Gainesville's coveted Northwest corridor, is framed by Greentree Park and the major artery, NW 13th Street. Some residents walk to community parks and playgrounds, while others may take a bicycle to pick up groceries. Ridgeview is also considered an investment and rental community. Many homes are leased to students and employees from the nearby University of Florida. "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."

The area has renovated 20th-century homes
A backdrop of mature pines, palmettos and oak trees frames the homes in Ridgeview. The community's subdivisions contain primarily single-story houses constructed between the 1950s and 1980s. However, a few structures were demolished to make room for more contemporary, 21st-century dwellings. Residences typically sit on block or slab foundations and show minimal traditional and ranch-style architecture. Homes in the community do not have homeowners associations, including those within the Pine Meadows, Ridge View and Palmetto Woods subdivisions. Available on 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 around $150,000 to $350,000, depending on the square footage and level of renovation.
