Apalachee Ridge is a cozy neighborhood located along Orange Avenue and extending south to roughly Millard Street. The neighborhood sits directly north of Jack L. McLean Park, with the eastern edge of the neighborhood extending down to just below the park. McLean Park covers 52 acres and includes picnic areas with grills, two bike trails, a fitness trail, sand volleyball courts, a 24-hole disc golf course, tennis courts, basketball courts, and horseshoe pits. The park also provides a recreation center with a gymnasium and weight rooms and an aquatics complex with a zero-depth entry pool, a water slide, in-pool play equipment, and a lap pool.

Apalachee Ridge sits about two miles southeast of Downtown Tallahassee, just over a mile southeast of Florida A&M University, and about three miles southeast of Florida State University. The neighborhood is near several golf courses, including Jake Gaither Golf Course, Capital City Country Club, and Hilaman Golf Course. The home contains a variety of one-story, single-family homes, but newer developments include townhomes, duplexes, and apartment communities.
