Gainesville Florida Market History
|

Gainesville is the largest city in — and county seat of — Alachua County, Florida. Gainesville is also home to the
University of Florida, which is the largest university in the State University System of Florida and the third-largest
university in the United States. The Gainesville, Florida Metropolitan Statistical Area (MSA), which includes Alachua
and Gilchrist counties.
Suburban sprawl has, as of late, become a concern for the city commissioners. However, the "New Urbanization"
plan to gentrify the area between historic Downtown and the University of Florida may slow the growth of suburban
sectors and spark a migration toward upper-level apartments in the inner city. The area immediately north of the
University of Florida is also seeing active redevelopment.
The east side of Gainesville houses the majority of the African-American community within the city, while the west
side consists of the mainly white student and resident population. There are also large-scale planned communities
on the far west side, most notably Haile Plantation, which was built on the site of a former plantation and is home to
the most prominent of the area.
Gainesville is known as a supporter of the visual arts, as well. Each year, two large art festivals attract artists and
visitors from all over the southeastern United States. The Spring Arts Festival is hosted each year, usually in early
April, by Santa Fe College (formerly Santa Fe Community College). The Downtown Festival and Art Show is hosted
each fall by the City of Gainesville.
