The Duckpond is an area of 900 homes in the NE Gainesville Residential District. It is walking distance to downtown Gainesville, 2.5 miles to the University of Florida, UF Health/Shands and just 10 minutes to the Gainesville airport. One of the most walkable neighborhoods in Gainesville, it is just blocks to area shops and restaurants as well as Tom Petty and Roper Parks and the Thomas Center and gardens.

The floors have newer travertine tile. Off the Kitchen is a full bathroom with updated tile, fixtures and lighting throughout. Many updates have been done to the home, including a new roof in 2026, new HVAC in 2023 and new wiring in 2008. The water supply lines are copper and the sewer has been replaced. The crawlspace has a new Dryzone dehumidification system. Upstairs is the Primary Suite with a separate office and walk-in closet.
