We are looking to live 30 to 35 mins outside of Williston.... we have two young adults and two teens, so we need an active community (active in homeschooling as well). We really loved Duneden, but it's too far. I was wondering if anyone would have any suggestions, the communities that I looked at so far, are either for retirees, or young families.

The obvious answer is Gainesville in my opinion.

My husband is illegally fixing and painting houses inside and out. Our 4 children are illegally selling Australian meat pies by the beaches, up and down A1A, and I just shoplift all our needs and necessities, while my side hustle is being an illegal tattoo artist, our main bathroom is quite enormous.

Definitely Gainesville, I wouldn't live in the small rural towns or else you'll have to deal with ignorant idiots who probably don't even know where Florida is on a map.

Thank you, we're not familiar with the Gainesville area.... we also didn't think it had much going on for teens and adult children. For some reason, I get Tallahassee mixed up with Gainesville. Gainesville is the one with the University, not Tallahassee. We will look into it, since many of you have the same response. Thank you!

Gainesville is home to the University of Florida. Tallahassee is home to Florida State, so both have a University. Gainesville would be a decent place for teens.

Thank you, I was looking online for a site that could tell us which towns were within that range, but didn't find one. I may have just Googled wrong. We will add this with Gainesville.
