Community Overview & History
The Town of Tioga was developed as a New Urbanist-style community west of Gainesville, with classical architecture, walkable streets, and a town center, on about 500 acres. It has grown rapidly as the west side of Alachua County developed, adding newer homes and amenities.
The result is a modern, amenity-rich planned community with a town-center hub, popular with buyers who want newer construction near Gainesville and I-75.
Areas & Streets
Tioga centers on the Tioga Town Center, with residential streets of single-family homes and townhomes radiating from the mixed-use core. The community garden, pools, and courts are shared amenities.
Because the homes are newer and fairly cohesive, the specific street, home size, and proximity to the town center shape value.
Real Estate Market
Tioga is a newer, amenity-rich west-Gainesville market. An attributed third-party figure sets the context.
| Segment | Note |
|---|---|
| Single-family homes | Roughly $380,000 into the $500,000s and up (2026 listings) |
| Townhomes | More accessible entry points |
| Larger and custom homes | Into the seven figures |
Because Tioga ranges from townhomes to larger custom homes, value varies by home and section. Price to recent comparable sales and confirm current pricing for a specific home.

Schools
The Town of Tioga is in Alachua County, served by Alachua County Public Schools, with assignment by home address, and the west-side zones have seen rezoning as the area grows, so confirm the current assignment.
Alachua County Public Schools assigns the zoned elementary, middle, and high school by home address, so confirm the assignment for a specific address with the district before you buy. Attendance zones change, so verify rather than relying on a community name.
