Fencing in the Nenes
Indianhead Acres and neighboring Lehigh sit just southeast of downtown, bordered roughly by East Lafayette Street and Old St. Augustine Road to the north and Magnolia Drive to the west. Together they hold hundreds of homes, many built from the 1950s onward, and they're close to Cascades Park, Myers Park and Governor's Square.
Yards here tend to be a comfortable size, shaded by tall pines and oaks. Many still have original chain link fences that homeowners are replacing with wood privacy fencing, and plenty of households with dogs want a secure backyard.
Seminole street names
When Indianhead Acres was laid out in the early 1950s, its streets were given Seminole names. Nene means trail, which is why locals call the area the Nenes, with streets like Hokolin Nene and Chowkeebin Nene.
The neighborhood is known today for its active neighborhood association and community events.
Pines, roots and storm paths
Indianhead Acres sits on the rolling ground southeast of downtown, with clay soils and a lot of tall pines. Pine roots and old stumps turn up in post holes, and fence lines under tall pines are at risk in storms.
Storms like Hermine in 2016 and the May 10, 2024 tornadoes brought down trees across Tallahassee, and fences under tall pines are among the first things damaged when that happens.
We don't check contractors' credentials, so do it yourself before signing: ask for proof of any required license and insurance, confirm it, and get a written scope that spells out materials, post depth, gates and payment terms.
