Pleasant Street is one of Gainesville's oldest neighborhoods, sitting a short walk from downtown and full of the kind of historic streetscape you won't find in the newer subdivisions out toward Haile Plantation or Oakmont. It shares the walkable, tree-lined feel of nearby Duckpond, with homes that lean smaller and more characterful than the typical suburban build. If you want to be close to the center of things without paying a premium for a big-lot subdivision, this pocket makes a strong case.
The market here is small and moves at a measured pace — there are just 4 active listings right now, with a median list price of $319,000 and homes taking a median of 68 days to sell. Over the past year 9 homes changed hands at a median of $300,000, and sellers collected about 92% of asking on average, so there's genuine room to negotiate.

No — with a median list price of $319,000 and a range from $220,000 to $399,000, it sits well below Gainesville's premium neighborhoods. The average price per square foot runs about $265, reflecting the smaller, older homes here rather than new construction.

What about HOA fees and property taxes?+
The median property tax here runs about $5,310 per year. Note that the median HOA figure of $681 per month reflects the small sample and likely specific attached or condo listings — most historic single-family homes in the area carry little or no HOA, so verify per property.
