Near a major Tallahassee mall
Governor’s Square is an east of downtown Tallahassee neighborhood that shares its name with an indoor shopping center. Retail is here, but so are houses on enclosed streets and well-kept lawns. Brick ranch-style houses sit at the end of driveways paved the color of sand. Forest green bungalows, stone midcentury houses and townhouses with bright blue trim sit on suburban streets ending in cul-de-sacs. Grocery stores like Publix and big box retailers like Target are nearby, and the neighborhood also has indoor activity options, like a bowling alley and a trampoline park. “If you live somewhere near Governor’s Square, you could be downtown in 5-8 minutes,” says Audrey Nedeau, real estate broker at Suite Real Estate, LLC.
The Governor's Square Mall is the namesake for the area.
Food Court at Governor's Square Mall has plenty of dining options.

Shopping along Apalachee Parkway

People shop for clothes at Old Navy and Marshalls, cosmetics at Ulta Beauty and furniture at World Market. Checkers has drive-thru burgers and Bojangles has fried chicken and biscuits. Indoor malls fell out of fashion long ago, but Governor’s Square mall is well-maintained and full of stores like LOFT, Sephora and H&M.

Directly west is Cascades Park, which has a splash pad that lights up different colors at night and a manmade waterfall, plus walking pathways surrounding a lake. The Adderly Amphitheater, an outdoor concert venue hosting bands like the Flaming Lips and George Thorogood and the Destroyers, sits within the park. There’s also a paved pathway called the Capital Cascades Trail, which is popular with runners and bikers.
