Every guide here is an association's own area on the Tallahassee-Leon County GIS layer of homeowner and neighborhood associations, clipped to the City limits, so its line is one an association filed rather than one the City drew. Midtown is the Midtown Neighborhood Association's 109 acres on the east side of Thomasville Road around East 7th to 9th Avenues, 714 residents, an association the layer marks inactive; the Midtown residents mean, the shops and restaurants on Thomasville Road and North Monroe Street, has no line on any layer read, and Lake Ella is 450 meters from the guide. Los Robles is 376 residents on 33 acres beside North Meridian Road, and Lafayette Park 1,154 on 182 acres. West of Monroe Street, Levy Park is 1,606 residents on 273 acres, and Frenchtown is its association's area less the 857 residents it shares with Levy Park, who are counted in Levy Park: 3,983 residents on 411 acres. 5 guides are listed below.
Florida State's main campus, 9,923 residents in 2020, is in this area and in no guide, and the blocks beside it show the students: Frenchtown's count includes 727 residents on a single block of four housing units inside the City's buffer around the campus, probably university or private student housing, which no source read names. 3,177 of Frenchtown's residents and 1,118 of Levy Park's are in the Greater Frenchtown/Southside Community Redevelopment Area, and 94 of Lafayette Park's in the Downtown one; a redevelopment area captures the growth in tax revenue inside its line and adds no rate. On the County's FEMA layer 498 of Frenchtown's residents are in zone AE by block, and the other four guides have none. All five are zoned for Leon High on the district's layer, which carries no edit date, so check the district's own locator. A Florida homeowners policy covers wind and not rising water, so FEMA's flood map for the exact address, the elevation certificate, the seller's disclosure of past flooding and a quote for a separate flood policy belong in any offer here.
