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.

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.

Homemade favorites at Bradley’s Country Store

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.
