Ocala, FL
peaceful life -
6/27/2017Ocala ( 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.

peaceful, plenty of stores, natural setting -
5/15/2017I recommend the 'Pine Run' community here in Ocala because it is the most economical, peaceful, convenient community in the area. We own our own land and the houses are site built. The monthly fee is under $ 100. The home prices are usually anywhere from $30,000 to 80,000. Why so low ? They are not super modern (but are easily updated). Some are smaller , some are handyman/woman specials. The streets are quiet enough to safely ride a bicycle. The pools are big enough to swim and jump in. We even have a supermarket 'health food' store that rivals the large ones in big cities. You can drive almost anywhere in about 20 minutes or less ( although most needed places are no further that 4 miles away). So, come on down.
