Killearn Estates

Killearn Estates holds the distinction of being Tallahassee’s first master-planned neighborhood designed with underground utilities to preserve the area's natural charm. More than five decades later, its scenic appeal and towering trees still define the community, maintaining its reputation as one of Tallahassee’s most desirable places to live.

Now home to over 12,000 residents—and abundant local wildlife—Killearn Estates is nestled in the heart of northeast Tallahassee. Just five miles north of downtown, it offers convenient access via I-10, Thomasville Road, and Centerville Road.

Spanning more than 4,000 acres, the community features a rich variety of amenities: local shops, professional services, schools, places of worship including a synagogue, and even facilities for independent and assisted living.

With roughly 3,800 homes spread across several distinct neighborhoods, Killearn was thoughtfully developed to accommodate a wide range of lifestyles. Whether you prefer spacious lots for gardening, low-maintenance living, townhomes, condos, lakeside views, or proximity to the golf course, there’s a home style that fits your needs.

Eleven parks—some equipped with playgrounds, picnic areas, and benches—are woven throughout the neighborhood, offering outdoor spaces for all ages. A network of lakes and former bridle paths, now favored by walkers, runners, and cyclists, invites exploration. At its heart lies a private, 18-hole golf and country club.

Whether you're into golf, tennis, swimming, kayaking, or simply enjoying the outdoors with a book by the lake, Killearn Estates offers something for everyone.
