South Black Acres is a small, quiet residential pocket on the east side of Gainesville, the kind of place where the housing stock leans modest and the pace stays low-key. It sits within reach of the broader Gainesville landscape, from established neighborhoods like Duckpond to the planned streets of Haile Plantation, so buyers here get a lower entry point without being far from the wider city.
The market is genuinely tight — right now there's just one active listing, priced at $385,000. Over the past year only five homes changed hands, at a median sold price of $439,500, and sellers collected about 94% of asking. With so little inventory, serious buyers should track the live map and be ready to move when something comes up.
South Black Acres is a community in Gainesville, Florida.

South Black Acres FAQs
Is South Black Acres a good place to live?+
It's a small, quiet residential area on Gainesville's east side that appeals to buyers who want a lower entry price than the city's planned communities. Homes are assigned to Gainesville High School and Westwood Middle, and you're still close to the wider Gainesville area. The trade-off is scale — this is a modest neighborhood, not a full-service community.
Is it expensive to buy here?+
Compared to much of Gainesville, no. The single active listing is priced at $385,000, and the average price works out to about $273 per square foot. That said, the median sold price over the last year was higher at $439,500, so recent buyers have paid a premium for the right home.
What do homes cost in South Black Acres?+
The current active listing sits at $385,000, and the median home is around 1,410 square feet. Over the past 12 months, five homes sold at a median of $439,500. Prices vary with size and condition, but this is a mid-$400s neighborhood in practice.
How is the market right now?+
It's thin and slow-moving by volume — just one active listing and five sales in the past year. Homes take a median of 51 days to sell, and sellers are getting about 94% of their asking price. Low inventory means well-priced homes still move, but buyers have few options at any given moment; watch Gainesville homes for sale for openings.
What about HOA fees and property taxes?+
There's no reported HOA here, which keeps monthly carrying costs down. The median property tax runs about $5,554 per year. For renters or investors, the median rent in the area is around $3,200 per month.
