The Gables is a single-story, gated condominium community in Gainesville built in 1997 that offers one- to three-bedroom layouts across low-rise flat and two-story townhome configurations. Architecturally the collection favors simple, suburban condo lines with screened porches, vaulted or cathedral ceilings, and a mix of sliding and French doors that open to green courtyards. Interiors commonly include open living/dining plans, breakfast areas or bars, solid-surface counters and solid wood cabinetry, walk-in closets, in-unit laundry rooms, and a variety of ceiling heights with skylights in some units. Community shared spaces are extensive and institutionally programmed: a staffed gated entry, clubhouse, swimming pool and hot tub, 24-hour fitness center, tennis and basketball courts, dog run, car wash station and outdoor kitchen/patio areas. Parking is typically an attached one-car garage per unit plus surface visitor spaces; many units sit with no neighbors above or below. The HOA covers cable and common-area maintenance; the complex has FHA approval and recent capital updates such as a new roof. Located near Celebration Pointe, University of Florida, Shands/VA medical centers, I‑75 and major retail corridors, the development targets residents seeking low-maintenance homes with recreational amenities in a secure, campus-adjacent setting.
