High Springs, Florida, is a quaint, picturesque little town set amidst a scenic wonderland, a landscape bursting with sparkling prehistoric springs, magnificently canopied forests and gently sloping hills and valleys. A community dripping with history and charm, this hidden treasure of Northern Alachua County has become both an attractive tourist destination and a desirable locale for those looking to buy or build a home.


With a population approaching 4,000, the heart of High Springs is its lovely, tree-lined downtown area, filled with historic homes, antique shops, eateries and country inns that have made the town a favorite stop for vacationers. The region’s economy revolves around the growing multi-million dollar eco-tourism industry. Blue Springs, Poe Springs and Ichetucknee Springs are just a few of the internationally known parks in the area that attract divers, campers and tourists from around the world.


Along with reaping the rewards of living in a first-class tourist destination, High Springs residents enjoy the benefits of residing within close proximity to Gainesville and the University of Florida campus. Many residents make the short, 15-minute daily commute to Gainesville, where unemployment stays well below the state and national averages and economic growth is a constant. Gainesville also offers excellent healthcare, with four highly regarded hospitals and UF’s top flight Medical Center, and the exceptional entertainment options that come with a world-class university.


Those interested in finding a home in the High Springs area can choose between traditional neighborhood communities and isolated houses sitting on 10 or 20 acres of pristine forest. With a town that offers charm, opportunity and natural beauty, that growth is likely to continue for the foreseeable future.
