About this home

One or more photo(s) has been virtually staged. PRICE REDUCED AGAIN BY $16,900!! THAT'S HUGE AND THIS PROPERTY WILL NOT LAST LONG!! Welcome to 1424 NE 1st Ave - an affordable opportunity with AMAZING income potential just minutes from the University of Florida and downtown Gainesville. Whether you are a first-time homebuyer looking to offset your future housing costs or an investor searching for your next value-add property, this one stands out from the crowd. This 2 bedroom, 1 bathroom home offers 922 square feet of living space on a spacious lot with U2 zoning, creating the potential for an Accessory Dwelling Unit (ADU) and additional income opportunities over time. Opportunities at this price point with flexible zoning this close to UF are becoming increasingly difficult to find. The existing home is projected to rent for approximately $1,200 to $1,500 a month, while a future ADU could potentially generate an additional $900 to $1,400 a month depending on configuration and use. Preliminary contractor pricing for ADU development is available upon request, and preferred lender has indicated potential FHA 203k renovation loan eligibility for qualified buyers looking to finance improvements into the purchase. (CREDITS AVAILABLE FROM PREFERRED LENDER AND SELLER TO ASSIST WITH CLOSING COSTS UP TO $3,300) Located near shopping, dining, parks, major roadways, and one of Florida’s largest universities, this property offers strong long-term appeal for owner occupants, student housing demand, mid-term rentals, or buyers looking to build equity through strategic improvements. If you have been searching for an affordable Gainesville property with flexibility, future upside, and proximity to UF and downtown, this is one you do not want to miss. Seller is motivated. Schedule your private showing today. Buyer to independently verify zoning, ADU feasibility, permitting requirements, financing eligibility, rental restrictions, and all projected income estimates.

Local Insight

At $161/sqft for a 1947 home in Gainesville, you're getting into entry-level territory, which is smart money if you're willing to handle a 75-year-old house—expect foundation settling, outdated systems, and likely renovation needs beyond cosmetics. The location in Lakeway Grove puts you in an established neighborhood without HOA restrictions, and being in flood zone X is a genuine plus for insurance costs, though the tight 0.14-acre lot limits expansion potential. For a first-time buyer or investor betting on the Gainesville market, this price-per-square-foot is competitive enough to pencil out, but get a solid inspection before committing—older homes in this price range can hide expensive surprises.
