Lakeside communities in a small town
A small town of less than 1,500, Keystone Heights is a commuter city for workers in Gainesville and Jacksonville with a tightknit community. “People come here who want to know their neighbors and find smaller schools for their kids,” says Steven Milligan, a Realtor with CW Realty who has lived in the area for 30 years. Notable for its many lakes, Keystone Heights residents play an active role in nature preservation. “The city works hard to keep the lakes in good condition so everyone can enjoy them,” Milligan says. Locals say the community is a welcome change of pace from the hurried lifestyle in adjacent cities; residents are 25 miles from Gainesville and 56 miles from Jacksonville.
