Loving Dunnellon... - 8/24/2019
We moved here a little over a year ago and have found Dunnellon to be a nice, quiet little town. We actually live in Rainbow Lakes Estates about 7 miles outside the city and we love it here-super quiet area. It is a 45 minute drive to Ocala, my hometown, so I'm thankful to have found a good doctor here. For specialists, Ocala is usually where we go. Dunnellon doesn't have a lot of things for younger people to do. They do have Rainbow Springs and River here but we haven't been yet. Home prices area pretty good here, we feel we got a good bargain on ours. We are thinking of moving but ONLY because our kids are more than 8 hours away right now and, due to my physical issues, I am not really able to do much traveling. All in all, I'd move to Dunnellon all over again. Hope this Read More

Retirement town - 7/20/2016
Dunnellon does have a very easy going feel but has absolutely nothing for active people under 50. There is no softball or organized sports of any kind. There are no gyms which offer anything other than classes for geriatrics. There is the river but even that gets old after a while. All in all Dunnellon is a great vacation town or retirement town but not a place for younger Read More

Great Small Town in Central FLA - 6/15/2012
Have lived in Dunnellon off and on for the past 12 years having owned several homes there my wife and I think Dunnellon is a great little small town with good decent people living there.
That being said summers are hot and humid, this is Florida. Winters are great, sometimes frosty mornings, 278 sunny days a year. Traffic for the most part is not bad but once in a while the main drag is busy. Rainbow Springs is a gift from God, crystal clear, 72 degrees year around, almost like a fountain of youth. Rejuvenating affect.
Housing prices at this time are a bargain compared to a few years ago.
Real estate taxes I feel are high in the entire state but no state income tax.
Older residents, not a lot of job opportunities for younger people.
Do not understand why the crime rates seem high. As a former cop I feel extremely safe anywhere in Dunnellon. I guess with a small population a few criminal acts make it seem much worse than it is.
