The Friendly City – Ocala, FL
Lifelong residents have always loved living in Ocala, FL. Ocala used to be referred to as “The Friendly City”. Later it became an “All American City”, and now it is the “Horse Capital of the World”, but most importantly, “friendly” is what it is.
The real estate market here has had a downturn, as has most of the country. A lot of folks looking to buy here are unable to sell their homes elsewhere, and that makes it tough. However, it is a less expensive place to live, and value per dollar is very high. It is definitely a buyer’s market, so come on….why wait?
But Ocala has pulled together to help its citizens through these tough economic times. The Economic Development Council and the Chamber of Commerce join forces with local businesses to assist those who have lost their jobs to find new ones. The Ocala/Marion County Association of Realtors and local businesses have hosted community resource days, which help our citizens find services and goods that they might not find otherwise. Everyone looks out for each other in the Friendly City!
So if you are looking for a great place to live, raise your family, work, retire, and be happy, this is the place. Here in Ocala people are ready to tour the city with you, help you find those activities that you love, help you find the home of your dreams, and even put you in touch with your neighbors and to help you make new friends.
