Market Snapshot
Renter Demand In Gainesville
Renters come to Gainesville for the University of Florida and UF Health Shands Hospital, and the Malcom Randall VA Medical Center adds another layer of steady demand.
Gainesville is a college town in the purest sense, with the University of Florida and its academic medical center employing a large share of residents. Purpose-built student housing competes near campus, while conventional garden apartments to the southwest serve graduate students, residents, and hospital staff on more predictable annual leases.
In Duckpond and Haile Plantation as much as Midtown, we are open to buildings with deferred maintenance, below-market rents, or occupancy problems.

- Because Alachua County sets the assessed value, we review the property’s tax history as part of our first-pass underwriting.
