Let me tell you about one of my favorite neighborhoods just outside Gainesville — Arbor Greens. Tucked away along Newberry Road in the growing town of Newberry, this community strikes the perfect balance between upscale living and everyday convenience. If you're looking for a place that feels peaceful and tucked away but still keeps you close to everything, Arbor Greens should definitely be on your radar.

The location is honestly hard to beat. You're just minutes from I-75 and about a 10-minute drive to the heart of Gainesville. It's right across from Tioga Town Center, which is packed with great local restaurants, shops, and services. Whether you're grabbing dinner, running errands, or just enjoying a night out, you’ll have plenty to do close by. Plus, medical care is nearby too, with top hospitals like North Florida and Shands just a short drive away.

What really makes Arbor Greens special, though, is the lifestyle it offers. The neighborhood is beautifully maintained, with walking paths, green spaces, and a resort-style pool that brings the community together. There’s also a clubhouse and playground that make it super family-friendly. And a nice bonus? Front yard maintenance is included — so everything always looks sharp without you having to lift a finger.

The homes here are truly well built, with a mix of one- and two-story options, and you'll find everything from cozy layouts to larger homes perfect for growing families. Many of the homes are by respected local builders and feature modern touches like granite counters, stainless appliances, and open-concept living spaces. The pride of ownership shows in every street you turn down.

For folks who love the outdoors, there’s a lot to enjoy nearby — from parks and trails to tennis courts and even local farmer’s markets. And if you have kids, Arbor Greens is zoned for some great Alachua County schools.

In short, Arbor Greens offers that rare combination: it’s upscale but approachable, convenient yet calm. Every time I drive a client through the neighborhood, I get the same reaction — “Wow, I could really see myself living here.” And honestly? I get it.

If you’d like to take a closer look, I’d be happy to show you around or send you some listings currently available in Arbor Greens. You really have to experience the vibe of the neighborhood to appreciate it.
