Choose Tallahassee

Thanks for your interest in
Choose Tallahassee

Choose Tallahassee was organized by a group of volunteers who felt that our wonderful community had much to offer – a mild climate, high quality of healthcare, affordable cost of living, countless learning opportunities, and abundant recreational offerings.

Our goal is to enhance our region’s innovation and vitality by attracting and retaining a diverse population of young professionals, entrepreneurs, creative talent, retirees, and students.

If there is something else I can help you with, just send me an email and I’ll get back to you shortly.

Resources for Residents

Our city is unique in that we still have a small-town atmosphere, but with many big-city amenities.  With two major universities (FSU and FAMU) and a large community college (TCC) there are plenty of activities all year long.

These include sporting events, theatre, music, and lifelong learning opportunities.  Tallahassee is known for its abundance of outdoor activities, which include multiple greenways, parks, and nearby rivers; and The Gulf of Mexico is just a short 22-mile drive away!
