A rare residential development opportunity is available in one of Gainesville’s established west-side corridors. Located at 1223 NW 98th Street, Gainesville, Florida 32606, this approximately 9.03-acre property is positioned for a potential 45-unit cottage community, offering builders and residential developers an opportunity to bring a distinctive housing product to the Gainesville market.

 

A West Gainesville Infill Development Opportunity

As Gainesville and Alachua County continue to grow, well-located residential development sites are becoming increasingly important. This property combines acreage, accessibility and proximity to established neighborhoods, schools, higher education, employment centers, shopping and dining.

The approximately 9-acre site is located along NW 98th Street and is currently zoned RE-1. The property is being marketed with a concept for a 45-unit cottage development, creating the potential for a community of smaller-footprint, lower-maintenance residences within an established area of west Gainesville.

Cottage-style communities can provide an attractive alternative between traditional apartment living and larger detached single-family homes, particularly for residents seeking private residential spaces with more efficient footprints and community-oriented design.

Location Near Schools and Santa Fe College

One of the strongest features of this development site is its location.

The property is convenient to Fort Clarke Middle School, Hidden Oak Elementary School and Santa Fe College. Santa Fe College is a significant educational and employment anchor in northwest Gainesville, placing the property near a substantial population of students, faculty, staff and other area residents.

The location also provides convenient access to two of Gainesville’s primary west-side transportation and commercial corridors: NW 39th Avenue and Newberry Road.

From these corridors, residents can easily reach shopping, restaurants, healthcare, professional services and other everyday amenities throughout northwest Gainesville.

Convenient Access to Tioga, I-75 and the University of Florida

The NW 98th Street location also offers connectivity to several of the Gainesville area’s major destinations.

Nearby Newberry Road provides access east toward Interstate 75 and the University of Florida and west toward Tioga Town Center and the growing Jonesville/Newberry area.

For developers evaluating residential sites, this combination of neighborhood setting and access to major employment, education and commercial centers can be an important consideration.

Located in Unincorporated Alachua County

The property is located in unincorporated Alachua County rather than within the City of Gainesville.

Development, land-use and zoning matters for properties in unincorporated Alachua County are administered through the Alachua County Department of Growth Management. Prospective purchasers and developers should independently verify permitted uses, density, development requirements, utilities, concurrency, environmental considerations and entitlement requirements for their intended project.
