Review of Ocala, Florida


slowcala
Star Rating - 3/23/2008
They don't call it slowcala for nothing. Thing's move at a slow pace here. Moved to Ocala from Oviedo in 2003 when I bought a small home here which I sold in 2006. Being retired I thought it would be an inexpensive place to live, boy was I wrong. And the rent's are high for a single person on social security and a small pension. Ocala is for the rich and famous and that must be why so many of them live here and why the town is so star struck. I had lived in Naples Fla for four year's and Ocala is now catching up with them in cost of living and they also have star's in their eyes. Because the horse farm owner's here have a strong say in thing's it's hard to get a job in other fields that pay well the horse farm owner's don't want to lose their help to higher paying jobs. If your going to live here I hope you have deep pocket's and speak more than one language..
