Stephen Foster sits in northwest Gainesville, a settled residential neighborhood of modest single-family homes on tree-lined streets. It shares this corner of the city with established neighbors like Duckpond and University Park, and families here are zoned to Stephen Foster Elementary School along with Westwood Middle School and Gainesville High School. It's the kind of place where you get real square footage and a yard without the price tag of Gainesville's marquee communities.
For buyers, this is one of the more attainable entry points in the city. The median list price is $245,000 with active homes running from $173,000 to $365,000, and demand is real — homes are moving in a median of about 12 days and sellers are collecting 98% of asking. If you want to see what's live right now, the eight current listings are easy to track on the live map.
