Transportation
Stoneridge is located just minutes away from the UF campus. It is probably farther, however, than most students will be willing to walk. The best options for transportation to and from campus will be to use a bus or to travel by car.
The Gainesville Regional Transit System serves the apartment complex with multiple routes. Two of the most popular are routes 12 and 35. These bus routes will take students to the Reitz Student Union and provide service seven days a week. Buses run every 10-21 minutes Monday-Friday and every 44 minutes on the weekends. Route 12 serves the Butler Plaza transfer station and will provide access to all areas of Gainesville via bus transfer.
Because of the location of this apartment complex, some residents prefer to drive their own vehicles to campus. The trip can take anywhere from 10-30 minutes depending on the campus destination and volume of traffic. Those who drive should factor in extra time for finding a parking spot in one of the campus commuter lots and then walking or taking a bus to their final destination.
