I will be working in Gainesville, but want to move out to the "country" and commute. I am looking for a house to rent, or property with a dwelling out around High Springs. Anyone have any contacts or suggestions?
Thanks!

We really enjoyed High Springs when we lived up around the Gainesville area, and probably would have stayed right there if we had not been required to move for my husband's job. It's a nice small town that is still within reasonable distance to Gainesville to commute for work (my husband and I both did this). You can also go to Alachua right up the road for some nice little restaurants if you don't want to go all the way into Gainesville. If you enjoy the outdoors, O'leno State Park and Ichetucknee Springs are just a few minutes drive. It's somewhat of a tourist town because of the antique shops, but we always enjoyed that because it brought people to town (not too many, though) so we didn't feel like we were out in the middle of nowhere. Just be prepared for Pioneer Days, when it seems like everyone in Alachua county and the surrounding areas are in town for several days. When we lived there (about 2 years ago), there were a few new residental developments being built in the area. There are a few real estate offices in High Springs, although I can't vouch for any of them personally. However I'm sure they would be the experts on the High Springs area.

What ever you find, check the floodplain map. I had a place near the Sante fe river bridge. The dry years were fine but if the land is "low" it will flood in wet times. The area rates right up there with east Texas for beauty and animals.

Sleeslee:
Are you still looking for a place in High Springs? What exactly are you looking for? I have a nice house in High Springs on 20 acres that I could readily rent.

I'm going to move in the Alachua area and would like to live around High Springs. Do you still have this house available? If so, please reply with contact information, email or phone number.
Thanks.
