Mentone is a compact residential pocket in Gainesville, the kind of place where you get a settled, low-key rhythm without giving up easy access to the wider city. It sits among well-known Gainesville neighborhoods like Haile Plantation, University Park, and the historic Duckpond, so you're never far from a familiar name or a shorter commute across town.
For a buyer today, this is a thin, patient market. There are just 2 active listings right now, both clustered right around $499,500, and homes here have been taking their time — a median of 130 days on market. That said, the 17 sales over the past year tell a steadier story, with a median sold price of $368,778 and sellers netting about 98% of asking, so priced-right homes still trade.
