Moore Pond Homes For Sale & Neighborhood Guide

About Moore Pond

Moore Pond is an established gated residential community in Northeast Tallahassee with approximately 50 homes surrounding and extending outward from the neighborhood pond. The community formed in the early 1990s, and documented housing spans the 1990s and 2000s as well as later construction. That range gives buyers a mix of architectural details, floor plans, renovation histories, and building systems rather than one uniform product.

The neighborhood’s small scale is central to its identity. Moore Pond is considerably smaller than Tallahassee’s large master-planned communities, and the combination of a controlled entrance, mature tree canopy, substantial homes, larger lots, and water-oriented setting creates a distinctive residential environment. Individual properties still differ materially, so the specific home and lot should drive any purchase or valuation conclusion.

Location And Northeast Tallahassee Access

Moore Pond is in Tallahassee’s 32312 ZIP code, north of Ox Bottom Road and west of Thomasville Road. The location provides access to the Thomasville Road corridor, Bradfordville-area shopping and services, medical facilities, schools, and other destinations throughout north Tallahassee while keeping the neighborhood itself inside a private residential setting.

Buyers can compare the surrounding market through 32312 homes for sale. That broader search is useful because a Moore Pond buyer may also consider other substantial homes in gated or non-gated communities, and the relevant alternatives can extend well beyond the neighborhood gate.

Homes, Lots, And Neighborhood Character

Moore Pond consists of detached single-family homes, many of them substantial in size. Construction era, finished area, architecture, renovation quality, garage configuration, pools, generators, outdoor living areas, landscaping, and major mechanical systems vary from one property to another. A well-updated home can therefore present a very different ownership proposition from a similarly sized residence that retains more of its original components.

The lots deserve equal attention. Some properties have a stronger relationship to the neighborhood pond, while others are defined more by wooded privacy, mature landscaping, outdoor improvements, or lot configuration. Trees, drainage, irrigation, driveways, fencing, pool systems, and water orientation can influence both maintenance and buyer appeal.

HOA, CDD, Utilities, And Ownership Considerations

Moore Pond has an active homeowners association and no Community Development District. The official Moore Pond HOA dues page lists the 2026 annual assessment at $1,740 for A and B lot owners. The association states that assessments support the gate and entrance, mowing of designated drainage, access, and utility easements, lake maintenance, reserves for future road resurfacing, and a neighborhood event. Buyers should review the current association and transaction documents applicable to the specific property before closing.

City of Tallahassee water and electric service and sanitary sewer are documented for Moore Pond. Owners of substantial homes should also budget for property-specific systems and improvements such as roofs, HVAC equipment, windows, electrical and plumbing components, generators, pools, drainage, irrigation, trees, and landscaping. The preferred vendor resources can help identify local service providers when additional evaluation is needed.

For financing comparisons, the mortgage calculator can estimate principal and interest. Taxes, insurance, HOA assessments, utilities, maintenance, and major-system costs should be evaluated separately as part of the complete ownership budget.

Schools Serving Moore Pond

The public schools identified for Moore Pond are Hawks Rise Elementary School, Deerlake Middle School, and Lawton Chiles High School.

School attendance boundaries can change and can depend on the exact property address, so buyers should verify the assignment for the specific home before relying on it in a purchase decision.

Moore Pond Market Snapshot

The market elements below provide four complementary views of Moore Pond: average sale price, average value, average home size, and transaction-level sales history. Moore Pond is a small, highly differentiated neighborhood, so a limited number of transactions can move annual averages sharply. Manausa’s explanation of real estate market liquidity is especially relevant here because lower transaction volume reduces the number of directly comparable decisions available at any one time.

Moore Pond Home Prices

The price graph tracks average completed sale prices over time. A change in the annual average can reflect market movement, but it can also reflect which Moore Pond homes happened to sell. A period containing larger, newer, more renovated, pool, or favorably positioned homes can produce a very different average from a period with a different mix of properties.

Moore Pond also participates in Tallahassee’s upper-price housing segment, where the competitive set often extends beyond one neighborhood. Manausa’s guide to monitoring the luxury home market reinforces the durable principle that high-end homes should be evaluated within the relevant segment rather than against broad citywide averages.

Moore Pond Home Values

The value graph adds a price-per-square-foot perspective. That measure can help show historical relationships, but it should not be applied mechanically to an individual Moore Pond residence. Finished area, effective age, renovations, lot position, water orientation, pools, garages, architectural quality, condition, and other features can materially change buyer willingness to pay.

Use the value trend with the price, size, and sales evidence. The strongest property-level conclusion comes from recent sales that resemble the subject home in the characteristics buyers actually compare.

Moore Pond Home Sizes

The size graph helps explain changes in the mix of homes sold. Moore Pond contains substantial residences with meaningful differences in finished area, so years dominated by larger homes can raise average sale prices even if underlying value trends moved less dramatically.

This is another reason the four market elements should be read together rather than independently. Sale price, value per square foot, home size, and the exact transaction record provide different pieces of the same market picture.

Recent Moore Pond Home Sales

The sales table provides the transaction-level evidence behind the graphs. Review closing date, sale price, price per square foot, year built, finished area, and the individual property before deciding how much weight to give a sale in a current analysis.

Because Moore Pond has relatively few transactions and highly differentiated homes, individual comparable selection is more important than a neighborhood-wide average. Current condition, effective age, lot characteristics, water relationship, pools, outdoor improvements, renovation quality, and major-system replacements should all be considered when narrowing the sales history to a specific property.

Buying A Home In Moore Pond

Moore Pond buyers should evaluate the complete property rather than the gate, neighborhood name, or asking price alone. Living area, floor plan, construction era, effective age, renovations, roof, HVAC, windows, plumbing, electrical components, generators, pools, drainage, trees, irrigation, landscaping, lot configuration, and water orientation can all affect ownership cost and future marketability.

The gated setting also adds association responsibilities that should be understood before closing. Manausa’s guide to finding and evaluating homes in gated communities provides a useful framework for looking beyond the entrance itself and reviewing the rules, shared responsibilities, and property-specific fit that come with this type of neighborhood.

Buyers can use the broader Tallahassee home-buying resources and Home Finder to organize the search. In Moore Pond, the strongest purchase decision will come from comparing the specific home with both recent neighborhood sales and the other high-end alternatives available at the same time.

Selling A Home In Moore Pond

Moore Pond sellers should be highly selective when choosing comparable sales. A recent closing inside the neighborhood is not automatically a strong comparable if the homes differ materially in finished area, renovation quality, lot characteristics, water orientation, pool and outdoor features, construction era, condition, or major-system updates.

Sellers also need to decide whether selling is the right disposition before setting a launch strategy. Manausa’s discussion of whether to lease or sell an upscale home highlights the importance of considering vacancy, carrying costs, property condition, and opportunity cost rather than assuming that holding a high-end property is automatically the better alternative.

Once the decision to sell is made, buyer perception matters immediately. Manausa’s article on what buyers are asking about a home reinforces the need to align price, condition, presentation, and competition from the start. Moore Pond owners can begin with a property-specific home evaluation, review how the team sells homes, and see the real estate marketing plan before entering the market.
