Our Local Area

It's southern, yet cosmopolitan; greater Tallahassee has approximately 250,000 people; Florida’s capital city; home to two large universities (FSU and FAMU) and a large community college (TCC).  All who visit, as well as those who live here, are struck with the natural beauty of the rolling hills, abundant Spanish moss-covered trees, with canopy roads. It is ECO friendly, safe, low traffic volume, and boasts the nation’s leading parks and recreation department. The residents of Tallahassee tend to be highly educated, value education, and enjoy excellent schools, both public and private. As expected in a university town, there are abundant offerings in the performing arts, entertainment and big-time college sports. The downtown area is alive, thriving, and welcomes foodies of all tastes.  Check out the Cascades Park for a variety of outdoor events. Want more outdoor amazement?  Then Wakulla Springs, the world’s largest freshwater spring, along with several other crystal-clear spring fed rivers, are waiting for you. Saltwater fishing is 45 minutes away, and some of the most beautiful beaches in the world (St. George Island, Cape San Blas, Destin, Ft. Walton Beach) stretch to the west and as close as 90 minutes away. Tallahassee is a great place to raise a family, and many residents who train here find that they want to stay; you will, too!

 

Expect to fall in love with Tallahassee and the area.
