Welcome to our Neighborhood!

Woodland Drives is an historic in-town neighborhood almost in the shadow of Florida’s capitol. Comprised of about 450 homes, it is one of Tallahassee’s first platted neighborhoods, with an eclectic mix of single-family homes and townhouses ranging from 70+ years old to brand new. Many of our residents have lived in the neighborhood for generations--indeed, Woodland Drives boasts succeeding generations living in the same home!

We’re fortunate to enjoy many greenspaces dotting the area, which provide a haven for wildlife and appreciation from nature enthusiasts. The area is rich with history as well. Archeologists have unearthed evidence of religious missions of the 1600s in and around our neighborhood, and found remnants of discover Hernando de Soto’s winter encampment of 1539.

Much of our neighborhood is part of the Myers Park Historic District, comprised of 362 acres with 229 parcels of land.

Our neighborhood association is strong and provides many functions to strengthen the neighbor bond that is so important in today’s hectic world.

Woodland Drives Neighborhood: The BEST in Leon County!

Woodland Drives has been selected as the BEST neighborhood in Leon County! We received this great honor at the CONA awards reception in early May, 2009 and your Board of Directors want to share this great news with the world. (You can view the Democrat’s article by clicking here.) We won this award because of the volunteerism that’s thrives in our neighborhood. Government leaders recognize that a vibrant neighborhood relies on the people who make the area better and better!

We’d like to thank everyone who has a hand in this great honor:

  • our board of directors that guides us on the path of success
  • the block captains who deliver the news
  • the beautification committee and volunteers who have done so much to make our neighborhood even more beautiful
  • the volunteers who organized our Household Hazardous Waste Roundup (and folks who provided the waste!)
  • our chair of the Energy Challenge and the people who have signed up!
  • the volunteers who are working on making Lafayette Street better
  • the volunteers and participants at this year’s picnic & book exchange
  • the volunteers & parents & kids in our Parent’s Council
  • the volunteers who organize our Movie in the Park
  • the volunteers who post event signage in their yards
  • the volunteers who stay vigilant regarding crime & CrimeWatch
