Northeast Ocala blends Old Florida character with modern life

Most people think of vacation beaches when they think of the Sunshine State, but Northeast Ocala offers scenic rolling hills and a year-round country lifestyle in Central Florida. Founded in 1846 near the U.S. Army post of Fort King, Ocala, home to about 69,000, is the county seat of Marion County. Along Silver Springs Boulevard are many businesses named after Silver Springs. That’s because nearby is the Old Florida attraction Silver Springs, famous since the mid-1800s for its natural beauty and glass-bottom boats. In 1883, a fire devastated much of downtown. The city was rebuilt of brick, unusual for Florida back then, and so today, Ocala is known as the Brick City. Northeast Ocala is a reflection of these older times, with midcentury modern homes and quiet streets lined with ancient live oaks drenched in Spanish moss. With plenty of attractions, shopping and cultural activities, Northeast Ocala is a blend of Old Florida and new Florida lifestyles.

Wide mix of home styles and lot sizes under shady oaks

Northeast Ocala is an Old Florida neighborhood. That is, people were moving here in the 1950s, and some of the current homes date from that time. Overall, there is a wide variety of home styles and vintages, single-family homes, apartments and condos. Lot sizes range from less than a fourth-acre to a half-acre or more, and many of the older streets are lined with old live oaks covered with Spanish moss. The overall cost of living for the area is below both the national and state averages. However, utilities are more expensive and are above those averages.

Public and private schools serve students from Pre-K to Grade 8

There are four public and private schools in the Northeast Ocala neighborhood for children from kindergarten through twelfth grade. Montessori Preparatory School of Ocala is a private school for infants through 5th grade. Wyomina Park Elementary School and Oakcrest Elementary School are both public schools for grades prekindergarten through fifth. Fort King Middle School is a public school serving sixth through eighth grades.

Nature trails, playgrounds and pet-friendly parks throughout

Northeast Ocala is home to eight vastly different parks. Chazal Park and Wyomina Park are small neighborhood parks with walking paths and children’s playgrounds. At Fort King Municipal Tennis Center, visitors can play a game of tennis or get lessons. Ocala/Marion County Veterans’ Memorial Park honors local veterans, and Fort King National Historic Landmark takes visitors back to Florida in the Seminole War. Both the Heritage Nature Conservancy and Jim Kirk Park feature hiking and nature trails, children’s playgrounds, picnic tables, and are pet-friendly. Silver Springs Conservation Area has hiking trails, native plants and animals and is also pet-friendly.

Walmart and Aldi sit across from Ocala’s historic plaza

Ocala long-timers may remember Six Gun Territory, a 1960s Old West theme park. Today, it’s Six Gun Shopping Plaza, Ocala's largest Shopping Center. Day-to-day retailers like Walmart Supercenter and Aldi are across the road.

State parks and museums surround this historic neighborhood

Northeast Ocala was once the gateway to Silver Springs, one of Florida’s original theme parks. Today, it’s Silver Springs State Park, located on the eastern border of Northeast Ocala. Just north is the 4466-acre Indian Lake State Forest, and just east is the Ocala National Forest, 672 square miles of wilderness. South of Silver Springs is the Silver River Museum and Environmental Education Center, featuring exhibits on Florida’s natural history. The Appleton Museum of Art is one of Florida’s premier art museums, home to an eclectic collection of American, European, and Asian artworks.

Easy highway access with airports and hospitals farther out

Ocala is located at the crossroads of two major highways, U.S. 301 and State Road 40. Interstate 75 is on the city’s west side. There are no hospitals in Northeast Ocala, but the Marion County Hospital District is about 5 miles away on the southwest side of the city. There are no major airports in Ocala, although there are several general aviation airports in the county. The nearest commercial airports serving Delta and American Airlines are Gainesville Regional Airport, about 45 miles north, and Daytona Beach International Airport, 70 miles east. Orlando International Airport is 94 miles away.
