Duckpond is Gainesville's oldest residential neighborhood, a walkable grid of brick streets, wide porches, and canopy oaks just north of downtown. It's the kind of place where the architecture tells a story and the pace slows down, all within easy reach of the city core. If you're weighing it against newer parts of town like Haile Plantation or Oakmont, Duckpond trades master-planned polish for character and location.
The market here is small and selective — right now there are 17 active listings with a median list price of $599,000, spanning from $249,000 to $2,200,000. Homes take a bit of patience to move, running a median of 63 days on market, and over the last year 39 homes sold with sellers netting about 95% of asking.
