Live in Huntington Woods

This guide follows the area the Huntington Woods Neighborhood Association serves as Tallahassee-Leon County GIS maps it, clipped to the City limits, which hold all of it: a line the association filed, not one the City drew, and nothing here says where residents think the name ends. It is about 145 acres east of Mission Road, along and south of Huntington Woods Boulevard, and the 2020 census counted 669 residents in 259 housing units. The name reaches further than the line. The County's planning layer draws a Huntington Woods Development of Regional Impact to the north and northwest, recorded at 3,641 dwelling units and as outside the city; it does not overlap this guide.

Half of it was built before it was Tallahassee. The Property Appraiser's subdivision map puts four platted units inside the line. The first houses went up in Unit I in 1974, and 58 were built in 1981 alone as Unit II filled in. The City annexed all 145 acres in 1985, by which time 195 of today's 366 houses were standing. Units IV and V followed from 1989, 42 houses in 1990, and were largely done by 1997. The median house dates from 1983 and has a base of 1,270 square feet on a lot of 0.28 acres, on streets of loops, circles and courts.

Most are owner-occupied, but not all. On the 2025 roll 242 of the 366 houses carry a homestead exemption, which Florida gives to property an owner makes a permanent residence; the other 124 carry none, and the roll does not say why. The census found 2.58 residents to a housing unit and no dormitory-like block. The census tract, which holds the whole guide and much more, had about 11% of its residents in college on the 2020 to 2024 survey, with wide margins.

What it costs is known only as a valuation. The roll puts the median house at $192,067 for 2025, land $40,000 of it; no public source publishes a sale median for this line, and this guide gives none. Every parcel pays the City's 2025 stack of 19.2060 mills. A homesteaded buyer at the median value would owe about $2,863 a year, with $25,000 off every levy and a second, inflation-indexed $25,000 off all but the school levies; without a homestead, about $3,689. Save Our Homes caps a homestead's assessed value at 3% a year but resets on sale, so the seller's bill understates yours; portability can carry part of an earlier Florida homestead's benefit. The City sells the electricity, water, sewer and gas, and its bill adds stormwater at $11.00 and garbage at $28.19 a month and a fire services fee whose amount this guide could not read, raised 9.98% in October 2025 and challenged in a suit filed on 17 November 2025. The arithmetic is on the Tallahassee page.

Storms here are wind and trees. FEMA puts the reference point in zone X on a 2009 panel and about 6% of the area in zone A, with no 2020 resident on a block inside it; check the address. The City is in Class 5 of FEMA's Community Rating System. Hermine in 2016 cut power to about 65% of City electric customers on the National Hurricane Center's count and about 80% on the National Weather Service's, the May 2024 tornadoes broke more than 400 poles, and Helene left about 53,000 City customers dark. No source read maps how any street here fared. No canopy road runs along the line.
