Avenues run parallel to University Avenue in an east-west direction. Since the University is south of University Avenue and west of Main Street, it is located in the southwest section of Gainesville. SW 13th Street, Archer Road, and SW 34th Street. Streets and avenues are usually numbered. The lower the number, the closer the street is to the center of the grid.
House numbers indicate the street and avenue on which the house can be found.
When writing down an address, be certain to indicate whether it is NW, NE, SW, or SE and to include its designation, whether street, avenue, place, terrace, etc. Otherwise, there would be 4 different quadrants in which that address could be located, and it would be difficult to find the address. Most bookstores, gasoline stations, and rental car agencies sell maps of Gainesville and the state of Florida. The ISS can give you a city bus schedule which has a small map of the city, and which shows the bus routes.
