Maclay Gardens State Park and Killearn Estates subdivision face each other across Thomasville Road. Despite the busy-ness of Thomasville Road, the state park is a refuge for locals. “Inside the park it is totally different. It’s very quiet and serene,” says Kim Barnhill, chair of the Friends of Maclay Gardens Board of Directors. Biking the trails and paddling on Lake Hall are popular activities, says Barnhill. It’s also a top spot for weddings, and the park hosts monthly events. The azalea blooms in spring also bring crowds. Homeowners in Killearn Estates have access to 11 residents-only parks with varied amenities, including playgrounds, trails and boat launches. Use of the Killearn Estates pool requires an extra fee. Originally opened in 1967, the Killearn Country Club is closed for restoration and set to reopen in 2024 with a new clubhouse and restaurant and an improved golf course, which has hosted PGA and LPGA tournaments in the past.Maclay Gardens holds monthly events
Maclay Gardens State Park hosts a variety of monthly events, from hikes and paddling excursions to food truck nights. The park’s signature event is “Moon Over Maclay,” which is a full-moon jazz concert. “About 1000 people come every year,” says Barnhill. “At the historic house, that people can tour, there is a great big grassy lawn that overlooks the lake. Jazz musicians set up on the porch of the house, and people can bring in food and drinks. It's a great night.” The Killearn Estates homeowners association hosts several events throughout the year, including the Independence Weekend Celebration and the Halloween Parade.The Market District is home to numeorous acclaimed restauarants
The new and developing Market District at the junction of Thomasville Road and I-10 has transformed northeast Tallahassee and the Killearn area into a destination shopping and dining corridor. From the American wagyu burger with buttermilk blue cheese to the trout amandine with a red potato and exotic mushroom hash, everything on the menu at oft-recommended Sage Restaurant, a New American brasserie, sounds delicious - and a little bit different. Empanadas and Cuban sliders are on the menu at Gordo’s, just around the corner from Sage. Just north of the Market District, Bannerman Crossings is home to several fast-food joints and fast-casual restaurants. Walmart, Publix and Target also border Thomasville Road.Many homes occupy large lots with well-manicured lawns

These properties occupy half-acre lots accented with flowering crepe myrtles, soaring pine trees and palmetto bushes. Pockets of brick ranch-style homes with porticos and traditional asymmetrical brick homes with hipped roofs, as well as townhouses and condos, are also in the mix. New Traditional homes with a mélange of influences and Millennial brick models fill other subdivisions. Homes across Killearn range from $279,000 to $829,000. Prices for townhomes, many built in the 1980s, run from $219,5000 to $275,000.I-10 and Thomasville Road are close to Killearn
