Ox Bottom Manor Community is located about nine miles north of Florida's Capital in the rolling hills and canopy roads of Leon County and is convenient to recreation facilities, shopping, the Maclay Gardens Botanical Park and Lake Jackson. Residents are fortunate to be served by some of the best schools in the county and state. The Ox Bottom Manor Community Association is active in protecting the interests of the community and the properties of its members. Norman Rockwell would have wanted to paint Ox Bottom Manor, a small-town neighborhood where many kids literally walk to their elementary school. Carved out of old growth land between Meridian and Ox Bottom Roads, nearly all of the 640 units have been built out--remarkable growth for a subdivision that opened in 1988. While the minimum square footage for properties is 1,500, home sizes average around 2,000. Masonry exteriors are mandatory and a wide range of builders has given the landscape much variety. All main roads in Ox Bottom Manor feature landscaped medians and most streets are lined by sidewalks. Hawks Rise Elementary School is a centerpiece of the neighborhood, which seamlessly transitions into the Summerbrooke and Ox Bottom Gardens subdivisions.
Ox Bottom Manor is within the City of Tallahassee, and homeowner's dues apply.
