Blairstone forest Apartments for Rent

The neighborhood of Blairstone Forest is located to the southeast of Tallahassee, Florida. This densely-wooded and rustic area is accessed from the east via Blairstone Road. The homes in Blairstone Forest are a mixture of older and relatively-new one and two-story dwellings built fairly close to the winding narrow roads. There is a small lake in the southern part of the area with a small island in the center.

Just a well-played nine iron shot to the east of Blairstone Forest is the Hillaman Park Municipal Golf Course. Just to the northwest is the Capital City Country Club.

Public schools serving the area around Blairstone Forest include Rickards High School and Frank Hartsfield Elementary School. There are two major universities in the Tallahassee area – Florida A&M University and Florida State University.

Tallahassee is a paradise for nature lovers and for those who enjoy the outdoors. The 3,000-acre Wakulla Springs State Park and Lodge contains America’s largest and deepest fresh water springs. Visitors here can take tours on riverboats and glass-bottom boats to observe wildlife both above and below the water. There are also camping, swimming, and hiking opportunities. The elegant lodge contains 27 guest rooms. The park is just a short distance away from Blairstone Forest.

History buffs can go back in time to the mid-seventeenth century by visiting the Mission San Luis. This mission was the capital of western Florida from 1656 to 1704 and is the only recreated Spanish mission that is open to the public. Tour guides in period costume guide visitors through the reconstructed buildings and exhibits.
