Watch horses race in a recreational Florida suburb

Southeast Ocala mixes historic charm and modern comfort with access to parks, a hip dining scene and high-ranking public schools. “We have everything you need, but it still feels like a small town,” says Brandon Perry, a Realtor with Newgate Realty LLC, who has been selling homes in the area for a decade. According to Perry, people move here because of the weather, but also because of the lack of state taxes. “The cost of living is significantly less than in areas closer to the beach,” he says. The area is known as the horse capital of the world and has about 600 horse farms in the area. Ocala is home to the World Equestrian Center — Ocala, which hosts horse races, beauty pageants and other community events like an Easter celebration. “There’s lots of outdoor activity in Florida, but especially in Ocala,” Perry says.

Jervey Gantt Park, Ocala Nature Park

Southeast Ocala also offers neighborhood and pocket parks, including Fisher Park, Walker Park and Carriage Hill Playground. Jervey Gantt Park is the go-to outdoor destination for athletes, with four T-ball fields, basketball, volleyball, racquetball and tennis courts, as well as an aquatics center. Residents can take their fur babies to nearby Letty Towles Dog Park. For indoor sports and activities, residents visit the Frank DeLuca YMCA Family Center. Outdoor enthusiasts seek a more relaxing experience by heading to Ocala Nature Park to sit on the dock hanging over the man-made pond. Here, they spy on turtles below the water or watch flocks of white ibises hover overhead. Golfers can tee off at nearby Ocala Golf Club, a public course featuring 18 holes of gentle sloping fairways and white sand bunkers.
