forest Ridge Apartments for Rent

The homes in the aptly named Forest Ridge neighborhood of Gainesville, Florida, blend naturally into their tree-laden lots.

Forest Ridge lies in Alachua County in ZIP code 32605. It is bordered by Glen Springs Road to the north, Northwest 16th Avenue to the south, the neighborhood of Brywood Fox Grove and The Meadows to the west, and Gainesville High School to the east.

The neighborhood is located approximately one mile from the University of Florida College of Law and within minutes of all of the finest shopping, dining, and entertainment options in downtown Gainesville. The UF law school was founded in 1909 and is one of the country’s best law schools. It is housed in state-of-the-art facilities and is a proud fixture of the Gainesville community.

Another big draw for Forest Ridge is the twenty-acre park that lies at its northeast corner. Joggers take advantage of the park’s mile-long walking trail, and the park’s creek provides a scenic backdrop for visitors while children play on the playground.

A small commercial section is located just down the road from Forest Ridge. Here, residents can shop at Sam’s Club, Walmart, or Books A Million, to name just a few of the shops. After a busy day, residents can pick up a pizza at Godfather’s Pizza on their way home from work.

Both the Northside Shopping Center and Northgate Shopping Center lie a few minutes away to the east. These shopping centers have a variety of local and big-name stores, such as the Winn-Dixie, Publix, and CVS Pharmacy. Forest Ridge residents looking for a quick bite to eat can stop by Wendy’s, Burger King, Domino’s, or Popeye’s Chicken & Biscuits.

It is clear why two of the biggest reasons people flock to this community are for its natural beauty and supreme location.
