Review of Oca,


peaceful life
Star Rating - 6/27/2017
Ocala ( unincorporated, not the city of Ocala ) has a great variety of stores especially since Earth Fare arrived recently. There is nature here, less traffic, and a good amount of wildlife. The community I am in ["Pine Run"] is like a bird sanctuary with even ibises flying around. Homes are less than $80,000 and some less than $40,000. Air conditioning is not necessary if one slowly accustoms oneself to the heat. The heat is less bothersome if you have a healthy , vigorous lifestyle. The body adjusts if it is in a healthy condition. Most communities have pools. If you don't have a pool here you can go to the local college and swim in their Olympic sized pool for a very low cost. The best thing is having flowers blooming all year round ( if you plant some ). Come on down. Why pay thousands of dollars on house taxes when you can pay around $700 a year instead.

Excellent comments - right on the mark, especially adjusting to the warmer temps.

Hi Elisheba! Thank you for your review. sounds like you might be able to tell us if being vegan (actually WFPB evidence-based modern plant eaters) would be strange to the locals in Ocala. We don't know Earth Fare, but it may be a health food market. Some hope not to be the first in town? Some reviews speak of rednecks and low IQ in Ocala. True?
