Want to get away from the hustle and bustle of life, but still enjoy the amenities of a cultural city life? You can have this -- and more -- in Ocala, FL. The rolling hills, swaying trees, acre after acre of horse farms and a delightful annual mean temperature of 70.3 degrees Fahrenheit are especially attractive to our out of state visitors. But there is a major difference in housing here compared to other markets -- for you can get a lot of home and land for your money. The Ocala/Marion County Association of Realtors, notes that "you can find anything from a modest bungalow to a magnificent mansion." Existing homes are priced from $50,000 to $5 million, giving potential buyers a variety of properties from which to choose. For example, for the area's median sales price for existing homes (about $95,000) you can find an 1,800 square foot, three-bedroom and two-bath home with a garage. Although single-family home sales dominate the market (about 55%), town homes, villas, condos, horse farms, elegant gated communities and investment properties are also readily available. One of the hottest areas for new families coming into our area is the southeast residential area, including our beautiful Historic District. Many retirement communities are also available, such as the Oak Run community, the largest in the area, and The Colonnades. The Country Club of Ocala located in southwestern Ocala, has more than one hundred fifty homes that are on approximately one acre and other amenities like swimming pools and a terrific 18-hole golf course. Interested in waterfront property? Vacant property on Lake Weir, the largest lake in Marion County, goes for about $1,500 per front foot. Many activities such as seaplane rides, jet skiing, sail boating and fishing occur on Lake Weir. If you want to find an existing Lake Weir waterfront home of approximately 2,000 square feet, plan on paying between $280,000 to $350,000. Prices are higher for high-quality lakefront with amenities like boat houses, docks, special landscaping, or for larger homes. For golfers, Ocala has over 20 courses in the nearby area, some of which being located in golf communities. Two of our courses are city-owned, one a fabulous 18-hole layout and one a 27 hole challenge. In reality, there are about 22 golf courses within 25 miles of downtown Ocala and only two of them are private clubs.
