A growing community only 10 miles from Ocala's center
Silver Spring Shores sits along the edge of Florida's first tourist attraction, Silver Springs State Park. Since the late 1800s, visitors have flocked to Silver Spring State Park to ride on the nation's first glass-bottom boat. However, this area was destined to be more than just a tourist hub. Today, the region surrounding the park is considered one of Ocala's main residential pockets. "Silver Spring Shores runs for miles," says Realtor Sue Amsden of Coldwell Banker Ellison Realty. Amsden has lived in Ocala for over 50 years, selling homes for close to 10. "A lot of homes were built back in the older days, but because there's so much land here, new houses continue to pop up today. It's a promising area at an affordable price point."
Silver Spring Shores is a neatly planned community in the heart of Central Florida.
Downtown Ocala is only a short drive away from Silver Spring Shores.

Most residents live in established ranch-style homes
Most properties in Silver Spring Shores qualify for first-time buyer incentive programs, so the area is home to many first-time homeowners. The community saw consistent development from the 1970s through the first decade of the 21st century. This development predominantly included ranch styles and contemporary bungalows that often feature between 1,000 and 1,500 square feet. But a few homes exceed 2,000 square feet, offering four bedrooms. While a few houses cost around $100,000, a few larger homes reach $500,000. Houses are spread out on moderately woodsy lots between a quarter and a half-acre. And most roads are narrow, without central paint and sidewalks, so the community has a rural feel.

A day on the links or at the local community center
Locals meet their neighbors at the Silver Spring Shores Community Center. "My husband used to be in politics, so I've been in the community center quite a few times for his meetings," Amsden says. "It's a good place for meetings and a great spot for families to bring their kids." Members enjoy access to recreational amenities, like tennis and basketball courts, swimming pools and a playground. Inside, there's a gaming room with air hockey, table tennis and an electronic gaming center. Adjacent to the community center is The Country Club at Silver Spring Shores, sitting along the banks of the Marshall Swamp Wildlife Management Area. The golf course features a scenic backdrop with diverse wildlife. Golfers additionally enjoy a day on the links at Lake Diamond Club and Baseline Golf Course.
