          COMMUNITY INFORMATION
Every year thousands of new residents begin calling Marion
County home, keeping it among the three fastest growing
areas in the nation. The county's welcoming atmosphere
makes transitions easy. The variety and affordability of
housing ensures that there are homes to suit every taste,
lifestyle and budget.

            
City life
Surrounded by scenic countryside, Ocala has the vitality and
diversity of a much larger city. Named the county seat in 1845,
it has a wonderful history, yet the ability to move ahead into the
next century. Ocala's historic district is a neighborhood of
charming tree-lined streets and exquisite Victorian and Tudor
homes.


            
Country life
For those who long for the country life, Marion County offers
many possibilities from newly built country communities to
weathered farm houses, horse farms, and grand estates. The
region's highway system makes outlying areas convenient to
Ocala's business and shopping districts. From Belleview in
the south, to Dunnellon in the west, and McIntosh or Reddick
in the north, homes of brick and frame abound, with new
construction continuously expanding the selection for
newcomers.  A growing trend in housing is toward attractively
designed gated communities. These areas feature luxurious,
yet surprisingly affordable custom-built homes. Communities
such as Oak Run, On Top of the World, Ocala Palms, Lake
Diamond, Spruce Creek, and in nearby Lady Lake, The
Villages of Marion, and others offer every imaginable type of
recreation, often with clubhouses, golf courses, pools, tennis
courts, fitness centers, scenic walking trails, restaurants and
a host of indoor activities and opportunities for social
interaction.


             
Convenience
Residents are never far from schools, health care providers,
churches, shopping and commercial centers, governmental
services, cultural and recreation activities and above all, the
beauty that nature has bestowed upon Marion County.
The scenic countryside, shady forests, and crystal-clear
waterways are treasured and protected, but also willingly
shared with visitors and newcomers who quickly realize that
Marion County, with Ocala at its heart, is more than a place to
live…it's a place to be experienced.
