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.

Some teens travel up to 15 miles to reach Lincoln High School, an A-rated school serving 1,800 students.
