- This ±9-acre site is positioned for a 45-unit cottage community
Executive Summary
A rare infill development opportunity on NW 98th Street in one of Gainesville’s most established and desirable west-side corridors. This ±9-acre site is positioned for a 45-unit cottage community, a product type in strong demand and short supply across the Gainesville market.
The location is the story here. The property sits in close proximity to Fort Clarke Middle School, Hidden Oak Elementary School, and Santa Fe College, placing future residents in one of Alachua County’s most sought-after school zones and steps from a major higher-education employment anchor. The surrounding area offers quick access to the NW 39th Avenue and Newberry Road corridors, connecting residents to Tioga Town Center, North Florida shopping and dining, I-75, and the University of Florida within minutes.
Critically, the site is located in unincorporated Alachua County rather than the City of Gainesville, offering developers a more streamlined entitlement path and county-level development standards. The cottage format is ideally suited to this parcel, delivering attainable, low-maintenance housing at a density that fits the neighborhood context while maximizing yield on the land.
With Gainesville’s continued population growth, persistent housing shortage, and the strength of the west-side submarket, this site represents a compelling opportunity for builders and developers seeking a shovel-worthy residential project in a proven location.
