Orlando, 90 minutes from
Tampa, two hours from
Jacksonville, and 80 miles from ocean fun in Daytona Beach. Ocala's historic district is a neighborhood of charming tree-lined streets featuring 100 year old oak tress festooned with Spanish moss, and beautiful Victorian and Tudor homes. Ocala has 11 golf courses, 1,200 horse farms, 600 Thoroughbred horse farms, 4 lakes and the Withlacoochee River, 2 colleges, an airport and endless acres of scenic locations for water and sport activities. Ocala corporate apartment renters will be interested in learning that Ocala is also home to the
Don Garlits Museum of Drag Racing and International Drag Racing Hall of Fame, which honors Don Garlits, father of drag racing. Ocala corporate apartment renters are never far from schools, health care providers, churches, shopping and commercial centers, governmental services, cultural and recreation activities. The region's highway system makes outlying areas convenient to Ocala's business and shopping districts.
