Rural living outside Tallahassee

People move to Miccosukee for a closer union with the outdoors. About 15 miles from Tallahassee, the region feels far more remote than it is; farms, hunting grounds and marshland populate the area, offering residents a rural life with proximity to urban amenities. Homes here typically come with at least an acre of grassy, tree-studded land, and many residents make the most of it through gardening and raising animals. This landscape of oaks and pines also has a rich cultural legacy, named for the Miccosukee Native Americans with historic ties to the area. Their one-time homeland became cotton plantations, eventually transitioning into the abundant green space locals now use for outdoor recreation.

Land at many price points in Miccosukee

Homes here typically sit on more than one acre, large enough for animal pens, vegetable gardens and grand, wooden play structures. Development in Miccosukee is more recent, with most homes built since the mid-1990s. Buyers will find a mix of modern Craftsman homes and custom builds with brick facades and classical details. Homes in Miccosukee are available at many price points, typically starting above $300,000 for two bedrooms and an acre. More bedrooms with greater acreage are attainable between $400,000 and $600,000, with a few luxury homes on sprawling lots jumping up further. Those looking to build their own home have ample opportunity to buy land, particularly in areas farther from the city and closer to Lake Miccosukee. One acre typically hovers around $10,000, then climbs from there. Though lot sizes differ, homes throughout the area maintain a quiet, rural feel, with breathing room between neighbors.

Miccosukee kids commute to top schools

Miccosukee’s more remote nature means many students travel beyond the neighborhood to get to school. Kids can begin at Chaires Elementary School, which earns a B-plus from Niche, then continue to Swift Creek Middle School, which has an A-minus. Some teens travel up to 15 miles to reach Lincoln High School, an A-rated school serving 1,800 students. Lincoln High attendees get ahead on college credits through 27 available AP classes and dual enrollment programs with Florida State University, Florida A&M University and Tallahassee Community College.

Wildlife spotting at Lake Miccosukee

There are many ways to recreate in Miccosukee, from stargazing at Cypress Landing to walking the dogs – or horses – at St. Marks Headwaters Greenway. Hunters can spend duck season at Lake Miccosukee, which also has boat launch landings for fishing and alligator spotting. Not far from the lake is Letchworth-Love Mounds Archaeological State Park, the site of Florida’s tallest Native American-made ceremonial mounds constructed more than 1,100 years ago. The park offers educational plaques telling the stories of the Weeden Island people who made their home near Lake Miccosukee.

The St. Marks Headwaters Greenway is an excellent location for hiking or riding in Miccosukee.

Homemade favorites at Bradley’s Country Store

Bradley’s Country Store is a Miccosukee institution, famous across Tallahassee for its homemade smoked sausage. Family-run since the 1920s, the store hosts an annual “Fun Day” each fall with vendors, live entertainment and lakeside carriage rides. For more practical needs, residents can venture into the Tallahassee suburbs for the Publix at Vineyard Center, or head toward Monticello, a town east of Lake Miccosukee, which has a Winn-Dixie grocery store.

A short drive to downtown Tallahassee

Miccosukee residents rely on cars to get around, taking advantage of Highway 90 and Interstate 10, which run through the neighborhood. Homes closer to the Georgia state line are about 20 miles from downtown Tallahassee, though most housing in the area is concentrated just 11 miles from the urban core. Locals head into the city for doctor’s appointments, clothing stores and trips to big box retailers such as Walmart or Costco.
