Review of Ocala, Florida


Living in Ocala Florida
Star Rating - 9/18/2012
Lets just say if you like horses, beautiful pastures and a rural community the you will love Ocala florida. It is located 40 south of Gainesville right on I 75 and has a pop. of the low 50,000's The downtown area is home town america. It is 70 miles due west of Daytona and 40 miles east of the gulf of mexico. St Augustine is NE of here about 90 minutes and is the oldest city in america. There are lots of activities especially if you love horses.I can't think of a better location to live in than Ocala Fl. The weather is wonderful year round. Winters are what midwesterners would call spring. If you are considering Florida then consider Ocala.
