Northeast Tallahassee neighborhood that is part of the greater Market District

The Timberlane area has a lot going on. The neighborhood is close to downtown Tallahassee and the state capitol, making it a particularly good choice for working professionals, legislators and their aides. Families appreciate the top-ranked schools. And though the residential streets have a secluded feel, the neighborhood borders a growing collection of destination shopping centers at the intersection of Interstate 10, Thomasville Rd/Highway 319 and Highway 16 – an area generally referred to as the Market District. The neighborhood is also surrounded by lakes and parks. “It’s very green, and there are lots of trees,” says Tracey Cochran, who has owned the Little English Guesthouse B&B on Timberlane Road for 21 years. “It’s very pretty. It's why people like to run and jog here, and it feels safe.”

Maclay Gardens State Park has some of the prettiest and best-kept flora in the panhandle. “March and April is when all the azaleas are out. It’s a riot of color.

The Market District is home to new shopping plazas

Several major shopping plazas surround the nearby intersection of Interstate 10 and Thomasville Road/Highway 319. The new shopping plazas in this area, known collectively as the Market District, are home to more than 100 shops, including major department stores and popular supermarkets like Trader Joe’s, Publix and Fresh Market. Restaurants in the Market District earn regular kudos from Tallahassee Magazine, says Cochran. Cochran is a fan of Little Paris Tallahassee, where diners savor innovative French dishes on the patio. Momo’s Pizza, known for its huge slices of pizza, is another recommended spot. “It’s all very up-and-coming because in the last five years they've knocked down old shops and put in new boutiques,” says Cochran, and they've opened national retailers like REI and Hobby Lobby.
