Silver Springs Shores offers diverse neighborhood options
Most of Silver Springs Shores is surrounded by nature, including Silver Springs State Park and Ocklawaha Prairie Restoration Center. However, this Ocala community is anything but rural, offering its nearly 25,000 residents an eclectic mix of subdivisions. “There are cute little suburban neighborhoods, there are big, beautiful houses that are basically out in the boonies, there’s a gated golf course community. It’s really diverse,” says Peggy Pittas, a real estate agent with RE/MAX Allstars Realty who sells throughout Ocala, Summerfield, Dunnellon, Belleview, and Anthony.
Many housing options, from townhouses to estates
The community is broken into residential subdivisions, with quiet streets lined with single-family homes and grassy lawns dotted with mature trees. Most homes are ranch-style or New Traditional, with two or three bedrooms. The median price is $270,000. Larger homes on the community’s west side range from $700,000 to $1.3 million and sit on acre lots. In the gated Lake Diamond neighborhood, homes typically feature pools, golf course views and two-car garages with space for golf carts.
Condos are available, mainly on the community’s east side, and range from around $90,000 for a one-bedroom to $195,000 for a two- or three-bedroom. A series of newly built three-bedroom townhouses is cropping up on the community’s northwest side, ranging from around $220,000 to $280,000. Buyers can also find land, ranging from about $20,000 for a quarter acre to $2.4 million for 34 acres.
Children attend Marion County Public Schools
The schools zoned to the community are Emerald Shores Elementary, which rates a B-minus on Niche; Lake Weir Middle, which rates a C-plus; and Lake Weir High, which also rates a C-plus. Lake Weir High partners with the College of Central Florida in a student dual enrollment program. Families can send their children anywhere within Marion County Public Schools, as the district offers School Choice.
Emerald Shores Elementary School is a public school that has 620 students in grades PK, K-5.
Lake Weir Middle School is a public school located in Ocala.
Lake Weir High School is a public school serving 1,413 students in grades 9-12.
