Cambridge Forest is a small residential pocket of west Gainesville where homes run large and lots feel private. The scale here is neighborhood-quiet rather than master-planned bustle, which sets it apart from bigger nearby communities like Haile Plantation and University Park. Families here are zoned to well-regarded schools including Lawton M. Chiles Elementary feeders and Kanapaha Middle School.
This is a thin, high-value market: just 2 homes are active right now, with a median list price of $829,950 and a range from $749,900 to $910,000. Only 3 homes have sold in the past year at a median of $660,000, and sellers averaged 95% of asking. With so few doors turning over, timing and preparation matter — watch the live map closely if this is your target.
