Ocala neighborhoods

One area at a time — the places the drive goes, and what living in each one means.

• Downtown OcalaThe brick square the drive opens on — restaurants, the First Friday Art Walk, the Reilly Arts Center, and the historic neighborhoods within walking distance.
• Dunnellon & Rainbow SpringsA historic phosphate-boom town on two rivers — 72-degree Rainbow Springs, tubing season, and small-town home prices twenty minutes from Ocala.
• Northwest Ocala — horse countryThe Horse Capital of the World® — limestone-fed pasture that raised Triple Crown winners, the World Equestrian Center, and homes that come with acreage.
• Silver SpringsGlass-bottom boats since the 1870s, kayaking the Silver River, the Ocala National Forest next door — and some of the county's most affordable homes.
• Southwest OcalaThe SR 200 corridor — everyday shopping, medical, 55+ communities like On Top of the World, and the neighborhoods where much of Shane's own business closes.
• Summerfield & the Villages corridorThe US-441/301 corridor between Ocala and The Villages — Del Webb Spruce Creek's golf communities, rural acreage, and quick runs to Brownwood.
