Gainesville

Gainesville is located in Alachua County about 90 miles driving time from Jacksonville or Orlando. Sixty-five percent of the Alachua County’s 965 square miles are wilderness and scenic lakes, wetlands and trails. The area contains approximately 100 square miles of wetlands and scenic lakes plus nearly 520 miles of forests. As the county seat, Gainesville serves as the commercial hub for the North Central Florida area. The city is home to the University of Florida (UF), which is the largest public land grant institution in the state and a key player in education, medicine, cultural arts and sports for the area.  The University of Florida and Shands Hospital at UF are the leading employers in Gainesville and provide jobs for many residents of surrounding counties.  Situated just off Interstate-75 puts Gainesville corporate apartment renters in the middle of a region filled with cycling, canoeing, hiking, golf, camping, bird-watching and fishing opportunities.

Gainesville and the nearby towns offer outstanding art & antique shopping, dining and accommodations. AMTRAK offers two shuttle busses to the city and full AMTRAK service is available at Palatka 32 miles to the east.  Gainesville Regional Airport is easily accessible for corporate apartment renters, only five miles from downtown Gainesville. The airport provides daily round-trip services from two commercial carriers.
