What Town of Tioga is
Tioga is a mixed-use development about three miles west of Gainesville along State Road 26 (Newberry Road). It is not a city: it sits in unincorporated Alachua County, inside the wider Jonesville area. The community is anchored by Tioga Town Center, a walkable block of shops, restaurants, offices and apartments that opened in 2004.
The community lists a pool with cabana baths and clubhouse, a playground, tennis, basketball and volleyball courts, walking green space and nature trails, a community vegetable and flower garden, and a turtle pond. It also hosts a farmers market and community events.
Homes and prices
Most homes are single-family, built in phases by local custom builders. Tioga Realty's new construction page listed six homes in 2026:
| Plan | Builder | Heated sq ft | Listed price |
|---|---|---|---|
| The Luke | Tommy Waters Custom Homes | 2,242 | $695,500 |
| The Drexel | Dibros Design and Construction | 2,734 | $743,860 |
| The Clover | Pridgen Homes | 2,264 | $769,345 |
| The Lily | Barry Bullard Homes | 2,890 | $909,900 |
| The Monarch | Warring Homes | 3,077 | $998,300 |
| The Santa Monica | Advanced Building Concepts | 3,216 | $1,310,520 |
The listing notes that designs and pricing can change without notice. All six were four-bedroom plans, with heated living areas from 2,242 to 3,216 square feet, which works out to roughly $310 to $408 per heated square foot. Those prices sit well above Gainesville's typical home value of $295,760 (Zillow, August 2026), so compare new builds with Tioga resales before you decide.
HOA, CDD and schools
Ask the seller for the homeowners association documents, current dues and architectural rules for the home's section. We could not find a published dues schedule or a community development district for Tioga, so also read the non-ad valorem lines on the parcel's tax bill to confirm whether any special district assessment applies.
The community site lists Meadowbrook Elementary, Kanapaha Middle and Buchholz High among the schools serving Tioga. School zones change, so check the exact address with Alachua County Public Schools before you rely on it.
What to check before you buy
- Phase and construction. Ask which streets are still under construction and for how long.
- Lot and drainage. Look at the lot's grading and where stormwater goes, especially on newer phases.
- Builder contract. Compare deposits, allowances and warranties between builders.
- Taxes. County millage applies; see the Alachua County property tax guide.
