Information about Gainesville, Florida:
Situated in the rolling countryside of north central Florida,
Gainesville is much more than a stereotypical college town. Home of the
University of Florida, seat of Alachua County’s government and the
region’s commercial hub, it is progressive, environmentally conscious
and culturally diverse. The presence of many students and faculty from
abroad among its 99,000-plus population adds a strong cross-cultural
flavor to its historic small-town Southern roots. Its natural
environment, temperate climate and civic amenities make Gainesville a
beautiful, pleasant and interesting place in which to learn and to live.
Time and time again, Gainesville has been tapped as one of Florida’s
most liveable cities and ranked among the leaders in the United States -
a reputation created by an exceptional combination of local features.
Agreeable weather and lovely landscapes, attractive educational and
economic opportunities, varied cultural and recreational resources, and
a youthful, energetic ambiance all contribute to the standard of living
enjoyed by area residents.
