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.
Many Southeast Ocala homes enjoy the privacy and natural buffer of mature trees.
