55+ Communities | Ocala Palms

Located in northwest Ocala Florida, just off of I-75, Ocala Palms is the smaller, more tight-knit alternative to some of Marion County’s larger active adult communities. It’s the perfect 55+ community in Ocala for retirees and empty nesters who are looking for a downsized, low-maintenance lifestyle while also having access to the amenities of a major country club. Plus, this welcoming community has regular events, meaning you’ll be able to make friends, socialize, and get out of the house regularly (as long as that’s what you’d like to do!)

An Unbeatable Location

The Ocala Palms community is tucked away among sprawling live oaks and rolling hills on northwest Highway 27. Right across the highway from the main entrance on Highway 27 is a major shopping center that includes a Publix, several restaurants, a GNC vitamin and health food outlet, and a UPS store. Ocala Palms residents have the privacy of horse country living without having to sacrifice everyday conveniences, or travel far for fine dining and local events. Its quiet countryside location obscures the fact that it’s right off of I-75, giving residents quick and easy access to Ocala proper and the rest of Central Florida.

Either coast is about an hour away, meaning beach access can be as often as you’d like. Both Orlando and Tampa are under two-hours away, giving access to international airports for world-wide travel, top-tier shopping experiences, tourist attractions, more. Closer to home, Gainesville is just a short drive away and offers college football fans a gateway to watch some of their favorite teams! Ocala is also home to several equestrian venues with shows all year long, a robust arts community, and several medical facilities.
