Hey folks, We have two kids and Crime rate is something to consider -Alachua sits at 407.2 per 100K. The median home value here is around $285,700, which seems about average. Average temperature is around 70--F, so the weather is moderate. The school system varies a lot by neighborhood. The suburbs are where most families end up. Downtown has improved a lot in recent years.
Pros:
- Great weather
- Low crime in most areas
- Good internet infrastructure
- Active local events
Cons:
- Limited public transit
- Hot summers
- Cold winters
- Sprawl everywhere
- Not enough green space

Honestly, I think it's a great place if you know where to look. Downtown has improved a lot in recent years. The suburbs are where most families end up. The weather takes some getting used to. Cost of living is definitely rising, but still manageable. It's a very car-dependent city, for better or worse. The suburbs are where most families end up.
