A planned subdivision in Northwest Gainesville

Capri, located in Northwest Gainesville, is a sought-after resort-style neighborhood known for its amenities and well-maintained homes. The planned development includes a community center with exclusive recreational facilities. The Capri homeowners association is managed by the Emmer Development Corporation. Many also move to the area because of its proximity to the University of Florida, public parks and shopping. "This part of town gives you a little more, compared to other cities that aren't in a metro area," says Rocky Lyon, an Alachua County resident and local Realtor with Pepine Realty. "Also, some people want a break from traffic that's closer to campus."

New traditional homes in Capri

The houses in Capri were built between the 1990s and early 2000s, showing new traditional styles. Residences are typically 1,300 to 2,800 square feet, with three or four bedrooms. The houses feature driveways that extend from the road to attached garages. Exterior upgrades and changes to homes are all approved by the homeowners association committee. Single-story houses range in price from $$250,000 to $320,000, while two-story homes range between $400,000 and $500,000. Lyon says that the city offers housing prices that are relatively lower than the rest of the state. "Buyers are coming in to see affordability where people are able to buy a home in an area that's within an hour or two of beaches and Disney World," Lyon says. Homes sell quickly here, with an average of 27 days on the market, compared to the national average of 44.
