Indianhead.

Indianhead offers a unique corner of Tallahassee, built on former plantation grounds with over 900 original 1950s brick ranch homes.

Indianhead sits on Tallahassee's south side, a neighborhood with roots stretching back to the 1950s. It was built on the grounds of the old Indianhead Plantation, giving it a sense of established history. You will find over 900 homes here, many of them original brick ranch houses. These often come with hardwood floors, a detail that speaks to their mid-century origins and enduring quality. The streets themselves tell a story, bearing authentic Seminole names. For example, "Nene" is a Seminole word meaning "trail," a nod to the land's original inhabitants. This area has a distinct character, blending its historical past with a strong sense of community that values its unique identity.

This isn't just a collection of houses. Indianhead earned the 2017 CONA Neighborhood of the Year award. It was also recognized in 2018 as Sustainable Tallahassee's first Sustainable Neighbor. The community includes both those original 1950s brick ranches and the adjoining Lehigh Acres development, which came along in the 1960s. Optimist Park, a central green space, has its own history. It was once an actual lake where people sailed and canoed. Now, it serves as a beloved spot for residents to gather and enjoy the outdoors.
