About High Springs
Located about twenty minutes northwest of Gainesville, High Springs offers a quiet, small-town lifestyle centered around the outdoors. With a population of around 6,000, the town serves as a hub for exploring some of North Florida's best freshwater springs, including Poe Springs, Gilchrist Blue, and the Santa Fe River. On any given weekend, you will find locals and visitors kayaking, tubing, or swimming in the crystal-clear water.
The historic downtown area is easy to walk, featuring local coffee shops, bakeries, antique stores, and the century-old Priest Theatre. Families are served locally by High Springs Community School for kindergarten through eighth grade, with high school students heading to Santa Fe High School in nearby Alachua. It is a peaceful place to settle down if you want space to breathe without being too far from Gainesville's job market and healthcare network.
