Welcome to The Katherine Apartments

Named for Tom Petty’s beautiful and stylish mother, Katherine “Kitty” Petty, The Katherine is designed to be the epitome of class and kindness. A woman who was known throughout Gainesville for being sweet and thoughtful, and though she died early at 53, her love and influence on Tom and his brother Bruce were never forgotten. Like the city of Gainesville itself, Katherine made it a point to welcome friends and guests with open arms and generous and engaging style.

We pay tribute to her memory with an apartment community that is always excited to welcome you home after a long day. We’ve added amenities and experiences to our communities that provide great value, offering everyone a chance to live a stylish and beautiful life while being ideally located to some of the best places in Gainesville.
