Homebuyers Choose Top Neighborhoods In Tallahassee

One question that out-of-town homebuyers always get around to asking is "what are the top neighborhoods in Tallahassee."

Of course, my answer is always "it depends." Everybody has their own wishes, wants and desires, so I would think the top neighborhoods in Tallahassee could be defined in different ways for different people.

For example, a young family might favor a neighborhood with a park, whereas a single professional might prefer access to restaurants. It all really comes down to the needs of the homebuyer.

But many of them also want to know where "everybody" is moving, so I show them this graph of the top neighborhoods in Tallahassee, based on the number of closed home sales each one has reported year to date.

Our report makes it clear that perennial favorites continue to be the most active for home sales in Tallahassee. But that does not mean a wise buyer is only looking at homes in these limited locations.

So yes, you can find plenty of homes for sale in the more popular subdivisions, but there are even more in the lesser known neighborhoods.
