What it’s like to live in University Park
Academic professionals choose University Park for its perfect blend of architectural character and proximity to University of Florida campus. The neighborhood's established tree canopy provides natural beauty and cooling shade during North Florida's intense summers. Most rentals feature unexpected architectural details from built-in bookshelves to sleeping porches reflecting earlier academic-focused construction eras. Though student population creates seasonal turnover in certain sections, blocks farther from campus maintain more balanced resident demographics suitable for faculty and professionals requiring consistent quiet.

Our approach corrects for the sample bias inherent in other private sources, producing results that are much closer to statistics published by the Census Bureau and HUD.
