Greater Gainesville, FL

There’s a lot to gain from living in Greater Gainesville – think great jobs, family-friendly attractions, fabulous arts and entertainment options, tight-knit neighborhoods, and the flagship campus of the University of Florida. Though it has the heart of a small town (read: It’s easy to make connections and feel at home here), this diverse and thriving region provides everything people are looking for, plus a little bit more.

When people think of Gainesville, the University of Florida (Go Gators!) may come to mind. The state’s flagship institution is renowned for its top-tier education and championship sports teams. Yet, the university’s influence extends well beyond academics and athletics. As a vital part of the Greater Gainesville community, the university drives innovation, fosters diversity, enriches local culture and promotes economic growth.

But Greater Gainesville is much more than just a college town. The city is an economic hub in north-central Florida, and offers a prime location for biotech and medtech companies. The region also boasts outstanding outdoor activities, excellent health care options and a mouthwatering cuisine scene that foodies will crave.
