Pleasant Street Properties for Sale

Welcome to Pleasant Street!

We’d love to show you around. Located just north of Downtown Gainesville FL, Pleasant Street has a rich history and a promising future. It’s far enough from UF to have its own thing going on, but close enough to attract a mix of students and young professionals.

What’s It Like Living in Pleasant Street?

Pleasant Street is a youngish neighborhood (the median age is 24), and one of the most diverse in the city. A landmark of the neighborhood is Mt. Pleasant Methodist Church, a regal red brick church that has long been an anchor of the African American community. During the civil rights era, the Chestnut Funeral Home played host to civil rights organizers. The neighborhood is also home to Santa Fe College’s growing downtown campus.

Pleasant Street has a neighborly vibe. Known for its tree-lined streets and wraparound porches complete with rocking chairs, recent years have seen renewed investment in this historic gem northwest of downtown Gainesville. Young families and students are adding to the neighborhood’s diversity and laid back charms. The neighborhood isn’t on everyone’s radar yet, so now is a great time to buy.

North of Pleasant Street, you have Grove Street, an up-and-coming downtown offshoot anchored by Cypress & Grove Brewing Company. To the east is the established Duckpond, with its elegant Victorian homes and gardens and the famed Thomas Center. To the south you have the brand new Innovation District as well as the bars and restaurants around Main Street. All in all, you couldn’t ask for a more centrally located neighborhood than Pleasant Street.

Buying a Home in Pleasant Street

Pleasant Street homes range from small ranchers and Florida vernacular-style cottages, to historic Victorian gingerbread homes. The median sale price for preowned homes in 2022 was in the mid $300k range. New home construction has picked up in recent years, with modestly priced detached single family homes popping up in empty lots throughout Pleasant Street.

The Seagle Building

You might also consider buying a condo in the historic Seagle building. Originally conceived of as a hotel, the fully renovated Seagle building now features five floors of condos with commanding views of the city.

Pleasant Street is a walkable neighborhood, with lots of shops within easy reach and new ones popping up all the time. There’s no shortage of things to do in and around Pleasant Street. Here’s our top 5.

Grove Street Farmer’s Market

Grove Street farmer’s market got started during the pandemic and has never looked back. Hosted by Cypress and Grove, featured in our Best Breweries in Gainesville, this awesome little market features some incredible vendors. They have live music and the beer is cold. So do yourself a favor and go check it out on Monday evenings.

Underground Kitchen

This new soul food restaurant a few blocks west of Pleasant Street on NW 5th Avenue makes a mean blackened catfish. Diners also rave about the shrimp and grits. It also supports a great cause: empowering the neighborhood’s young people with pathways to careers in the food industry.
