KENSINGTON SOUTH Home Values: What Homes Actually Sell For

KENSINGTON SOUTH (GAINESVILLE, FL): 3 recorded closings in the 12 months ending 2026-08-02, a 4-year price record, and the year-by-year record — every number from recorded MLS closings, none from an estimate model.

At KENSINGTON SOUTH’s $168,000 median and Alachua County’s adopted 16.56 mills (FY2025-26), a home assessed at that price carries roughly $2,780 a year in property tax before exemptions, or about $2,130 with the full Florida homestead exemption — a buyer’s first-year figure; a long-time owner’s Save Our Homes cap can be far lower, which is one reason resale taxes jump at closing. Municipal and special-district millage varies inside the county; see the Alachua County tax page.
