Gainesville
One of the Top 100 Best Places to Live

From the natural beauty of our wide-open trails to the hospitality of our tight-knit community, to the stores we love and the new ones to discover, it’s all here. But that’s just a snapshot of today — because our home city has big plans for the future.

With an average high of 65 degrees in January, you rarely hear the terms “wind chill factor” or “freezing rain” in the Gainesville — unless you happen to be watching the national weather forecast. Mild winters and warm summers are par for the course in the Sunshine State. With its beautiful natural landscape, nearby freshwater springs and stunning prairies, Gainesville has been called an “urban forest.”

There’s more to the climate in Gainesville than the weather and scenic environment. There is the climate of innovation and entrepreneurship that has led to an explosion of new businesses over the past few years, making the city especially attractive for dual-career families.
