About this home
Virtually Staged. Welcome to this classic, low maintenance, ranch-style home in the desirable Forest Ridge neighborhood, located less than 2 miles from the University of Florida. Lovingly and meticulously maintained by the current owner for the past 46 years, built of sturdy concrete block with a timeless brick facade, this spacious 4 bedroom, 2.5 bath home offers a combination of traditional character, flexible living spaces, and indoor-outdoor living.
Mature landscaping including magnolia, crepe myrtle, palm trees provide year-round beauty to this ready to move-in home, with flexibility to accommodate changes to make it your own. A covered front porch with tile flooring welcomes you into the home, while the generous covered and screened rear patio provides a space for relaxing, dining, or entertaining year-round. Beyond the screened patio is an additional concrete patio providing plenty of opportunity to enjoy the outdoors.
Inside, the thoughtfully designed floor plan features a separate living room, dining room, and family room, where a wood-burning fireplace and built-in shelving create an inviting gathering space. The kitchen is open to an area perfect for a breakfast table or casual dining. The four spacious bedrooms include a private primary suite tucked into the rear corner of the home, complete with an en suite bathroom.
One of the bedrooms has a floor-to-ceiling, built-in book shelf. One of the home's most versatile features is the approximately 500 square foot bonus space, with its own private exterior entrance, a new mini-split system, and an additional 11' x 12' attached half bath/laundry room combo. Use it as a fifth bedroom, recreation room, home office, media room, studio, or guest space, or explore the possibility of modifying it into an attached accessory dwelling unit or in-law suite.
Recent updates include freshly painted interior walls, a new roof in 2023, repiping and a new water heater in 2024, all new gutters in 2025, a new bonus room mini-split system in 2026, a re-screened porch in 2026, and a new A/C condenser in 2021

Property taxes
✓ Certified county tax rollProperty taxes in Florida are reassessed after a sale, so a buyer’s first full-year bill can be higher than the seller’s. Budget from this estimate, not the current bill, before you make an offer.
Most of this comes from Florida’s Save Our Homes assessment cap resetting when the home sells — the current owner’s protected assessment does not transfer to a new buyer.
Certified 2025 tax roll values for this parcel (Florida DOR). The roll gives values, not the bill; the current owner’s bill above is estimated from the taxable value.

Comparable recent sales
No closed sales of a similar home within about 10 miles in Alachua County in the last 18 months are in our MLS data set, so this page shows no comparable-sales median or automated estimate for FOREST RIDGE. A licensed Momentum Realty agent can prepare a property-specific comparative market analysis on request.
The Messtimate
Insufficient local evidence for an automated estimate. The Messtimate is a deliberately simple range — living area × recent closed-sale $/sq ft from comparable homes nearby — and it only renders when at least 3 defensible sales exist within about 10 miles in Alachua County in the last 18 months. None qualify for this home, so no dollar range is shown. It is not an appraisal or a valuation.
Methodology: the range would be 2,628 sq ft × the interquartile $/sq ft of comparable closed sales (same property type, living area within 30%, closed within 18 months, nearest verified subdivision, 3-mile, then 10-mile same-county stage). Estimate for general information only; never an appraisal, valuation, or offer. Updated September 30, 2026.
Momentum Property Score
62/100 is solid, mid-pack across the objective indicators below. It reflects only those measures — not the home’s quality, condition, or desirability.
A 0-100 score built from objective property and market data: flood risk, insurance, pricing, supply, affordability, and recent sales. Higher means more measures line up in a buyer’s favor. It reflects only the factors below.
Coverage: 4 of 8 indicators had valid data for this home; indicators without data are left out, not scored as zero. Momentum Scores are objective, rules-based indicators computed from listing facts, public records, and recent comparable sales. They do not measure property condition, quality, or investment suitability, and they are not appraisals, valuations, investment advice, or judgments about a neighborhood or who should live there.

Buyer research checklist
Items worth confirming for 2280 Nw 21St Place, chosen from what the record shows. This is general guidance, not advice about this specific property.
- Built in 1968 (58 years): ask for the roof and HVAC replacement dates — insurers commonly ask for roof age on homes this old, and it changes the premium.
- The listing reports no HOA: confirm with the county record that no deed restrictions or mandatory association apply to this parcel.
- Look up the parcel on FEMA's Flood Map Service Center and confirm with your insurer whether flood insurance is required.
- Get a homeowners insurance quote for this specific address in Alachua County; a wind-mitigation inspection and, on older homes, a four-point inspection can change the premium.
- Listed living area is 2,628 sq ft: verify it against the property appraiser's record and measure before relying on it.
- Order a survey to confirm lot boundaries and easements.
- Review permit history with the county.
- Property taxes: the estimate on this page (about $6,200/yr) assumes reassessment at the list price less the homestead exemption. Estimated buyer taxes are about $4,150 more per year than the current owner’s estimated bill (+202%). Exemptions and portability change the actual bill — confirm with the county property appraiser.
- School zoning shown here comes from district data and changes; confirm the assigned schools directly with the district before relying on them.

Frequently asked questions
How big is 2280 Nw 21St Place and when was it built?
Per the listing record, 2280 Nw 21St Place was built in 1968 and has 2,628 sq ft of living area, 4 bedrooms and 2.5 bathrooms. Living area and lot size come from the MLS record and should be verified against the county property appraiser.
What community is 2280 Nw 21St Place in?
2280 Nw 21St Place is in Forest Ridge in Gainesville, Alachua County. Too few comparable closed sales exist nearby for this page to show local sales statistics; a licensed agent can prepare a comparative market analysis.
Does 2280 Nw 21St Place have an HOA?
The listing reports no HOA. Confirm with the county record that no deed restrictions or mandatory association apply to the parcel.
Why might property taxes on 2280 Nw 21St Place differ from the current owner's?
The estimate on this page (about $6,200 per year) assumes reassessment at the list price less the homestead exemption. Estimated buyer taxes are about $4,150 more per year than the current owner’s estimated bill (+202%). Florida reassesses a home after it sells; for a homesteaded seller the Save Our Homes cap on their assessment does not transfer, and a buyer's own exemptions and portability are applied separately, so the two bills usually differ. Any tax figure shown here is an estimate, not the actual bill — confirm with the county property appraiser and tax collector.
Is 2280 Nw 21St Place in a flood zone?
A flood designation has not been verified for this address. Look up the parcel on FEMA's Flood Map Service Center (msc.fema.gov) and confirm with your insurer.
Can I rely on the figures on this page?
No. Estimated taxes, insurance, payments, and any market or comparable-sales summary are opinions and estimates for general information only and should not be relied upon. Verify all information independently before making any decision.
