University Park sits close to the heart of Gainesville, a walkable pocket of established homes with easy reach to the University of Florida and the wider city. It shares the map with well-known Gainesville neighborhoods like Haile Plantation, the historic Duckpond, and Oakmont, giving buyers a real sense of range within a short drive. Homes here are assigned to schools including Westwood Middle School and Gainesville High School, which matters for families weighing the move.
The market today is measured rather than frantic: 16 active listings, a median list price of $549,000, and homes taking a median 64 days to sell. Over the past year 52 homes traded hands at a median sold price of $404,500, with sellers collecting about 97% of asking. That gap between list and sold prices means there's room to negotiate if you come in prepared — you can track new inventory on the live map.

It's an established Gainesville neighborhood within easy reach of the University of Florida and the city's amenities. Homes are assigned to schools including Westwood Middle School, and the surrounding area offers everything from historic streets to newer planned communities. It suits buyers who want proximity to campus without living on top of it.
Is University Park expensive?+
The median list price is $549,000, but the range is wide — active homes start at $185,900 and reach $1,055,000. The median home sold over the past year went for $404,500, so what you actually pay depends heavily on size, condition, and location within the neighborhood.
What do homes cost in University Park?+
Expect to pay around $321 per square foot, with a median home size near 1,991 square feet. Just one active listing is priced above $1 million, so most inventory sits well under that ceiling. Comparing against nearby Haile Plantation can help you calibrate value.
How is the market right now?+
There are 16 active listings and homes are taking a median 64 days to sell, which is a steadier pace than a bidding-war market. Over the last 12 months, 52 homes sold at a median of $404,500, with sellers averaging 97% of their asking price. That leaves informed buyers some negotiating room.
What about HOA fees and property taxes?+
The median HOA runs about $445 per month, which is on the higher side and typically reflects added community amenities or services. Median property taxes come to roughly $6,120 per year.
