THINKING ABOUT OCALA? Do not move here before you watch this video...

[@michaelb8957]

I have been living here for over 6 yrs and I am not impresssed, to say it's beautiful and the best place in the state or country, really, that statement is unbelievable. This city is like all large cities, full of crime, noise, traffic and bad people. If you live near sw 200 you can enjoy hearing cars racing and ambulance sirens 7 days a week. I almost forgot the obnoxoiusly loud mufflers that everyone seems to love. You can also enjoy beggers sitting on sw200 asking for money and leaving all there trash behind, no police anywhere so drivers do whatever they want. If you want to run red lights, speed, race, drive unsafe vehicles, tailgate no problem go ahead because no police around to stop you. I did live in Citrus county for over 10yrs and it was much nicer and peaceful. If you drive to the other side of the city you see old run down businesses and more .

@@edar3512 Thanks for the comment, Ed. Let's put it this way... Ocala offers a unique lifestyle between City and Countryside. We enjoy the benefits and comfort of the city life and the wonders of the countryside: clean air, large green areas, parks in natural preserves, lakes and rivers, the horse and cattle farms, amazing wildlife, and the possibility of many outdoor activities surrounded by nature. For this and much more, Ocala is "My Dream Land". If you want to learn more visit youdeserveocala.com/

[@josephsmith9130]

Ocala is a unique city of a nice blend of the old and new. The downtown / historical district is interesting with a old town square. There appears to be new condo developments spouting up new downtown to help generate residential living there. Marion Oaks is an unincorporated area south of the city limits with new but modest single home constitution. Really good customer services here in the area. Currently new gated home communities being built. Crime is always an issue in any growing city. I came from Miami and I love the space and bike riding trails / roadways here. Suggest you visit the area first for a week as it is not for everyone. If you are retired and need social clubs, the Villages 30 minutes from Marion Oaks is a good option if you don't mind the price. There is no Costco warehouse here if you are a member, closes one is north of Tampa off of I-75.

[@findingmydreamland]

Well said, Joseph! I moved from Colombia to Ocala 18 years ago! And never have found any place in the US that is more convenient. I used to give clinics about horses in many different states and have traveled for pleasure to others. To me, "Florida is the best, the rest is North". And Ocala is my favorite place that I call "My Dreamland".

[@kellyanneree3252]

It's truly a beautiful area of Florida!!! Lived there and also Belleview as a kid! My dad maintained miles of fences around those horse farms!! One notable farm was the Castro's of Castro Convertible Couches. Good times!!!

[@findingmydreamland]

Yes Kellyanne! Instead, I have been here for 18 years now and have seen a great transformation and improvement in Ocala and surroundings.

Hello Hamza! It's great you are getting a job here. There are many employment opportunities in this area in both the private and public sectors. The housing market in Ocala is "Hot", as in most areas of Florida. However, the cost of both rentals and houses for sale is lower in Ocala than in most areas of Florida.

@@Mike-ug8yc Ocala and surrounding areas are developing in all directions in different ways and there are options for all "tastes" and needs. Gated communities (for gulf, equestrian, aviation, and/or 55+), open neighborhoods, horse farm gated subdivisions, country homes, homes in the historic district, horse farms (small and big). Most of my clients prefer the SW, NW, and SE.

[@ilmagonsalves9790]

Na florida neva?

[@findingmydreamland]

No! Florida is known as the "Sunshine State". That is why thousands of people from the Northern areas of the United States, Canada, and Europe travel to Florida (including to Ocala) during the winter months. Also, it is common that people from those same places dream of retiring in Florida.

Good point, Arlene! There are plenty of water ways in Ocala and surrounding areas with very stable ecosystems. The few alligators that can be seen while kayaking, canoeing, jet skiing, or boating in the rivers and lakes do not seem to bother people. Nonetheless, there are warning signs posted in those areas where alligators are more abundant.
