If you want to discover a charming in-town place to live, then you might want to consider Indian Head Acres. This popular Tallahassee neighborhood is fighting through a difficult housing market in a far more successful manner than many others.
Before we get into the actual home sales report, you should know that Indian Head Acres has possibly the coolest street names of any neighborhood in Tallahassee. Do you know what a Nene is?
The streets were named using authentic Seminole Indian names, and “nene” is the word for trail.
