County:
Alachua
The pleasures of small-town living attract new residents to Alachua, where local farmers still plant crops of beans, corn, squash, peppers, and cucumbers. The close-knit spirit of community is a part of daily life in this friendly town, where neighbors share the news of births and marriages and help each other in times of need. One of the focal points of community life is the Alachua Recreation Center, serving as a hub for sports play, summer recreation camp, and enrichment programs. Those who prefer the slower pace and old-fashioned charm of yesterday's small-town America will feel as if they have stepped back in time in Alachua. Nevertheless, the urban advantages of Gainesville makes it possible to enjoy fine dining, expansive retail development, and the performing arts close to home.
