Ocala Home Guide Realty is in the lifestyle business. Therefore, our objective is to offer advice and information of interest to sellers, buyers and investors. However, there is more to lifestyle than the home you live in or investment properties that generate income for you. Therefore, we also write about the economy, the arts, interesting dining opportunities, exciting events about town and much, much more.

Our Town

Ocala is one of the fastest growing communities in the United State and much of the credit belongs the partnership between our Chamber Of Commerce and local governments. The Chamber Economic Partnership makes it easy and quick for businesses to get the direct answers and firm commitments they need to plan and prosper. Much of our success in attracting companies and creating well paying jobs is due to the efforts of the CEP. Our award winning Chamber of Commerce delivers results. Therefore, It is instrumental in our Chamber being recognized as one of the best in the Nation.

This is Horse Country

However, first and foremost, Ocala is horse country. Our farms have foaled and trained some of the finest thoroughbreds in the world. These equine athletes have represented our community with distinction in racing’s most famous events. Of course it was Affirmed, the first horse foaled and trained here to win the Triple Crown, who sealed Ocala’s reputation. But thoroughbreds are only one of many equine species equestrians breed here. Our farms produce a wide variety of horse lines. Assuredly, that explains why Ocala has earned the title, “Horse Capital of the World”.

Our community also features natural wonders that have attract many thousands of visitors every year. Among them are the majestic Ocala National Forest and Sliver Springs, home to our world renowned glass bottom boat tours. Additionally, we offer planned communities to fulfill every lifestyle dream and fit any budget.

Ocala is one of the fastest growing communities in the United States. However, the history of this city is replete with lost opportunities to become a focal point of the State of Florida. Decades ago, Florida chose this area to be the home of the University of Florida. Today the school boasts over 60,000 students. Amazingly, it is reputed to offer the highest standards of learning in our state. However, the people of Ocala chose to rebuff these plans and the university was built in Alachua County to the north.

Then in the early 1970s Walt Disney came calling with plans to build the Disneyland of the east, Disney World, here. However, once again the people of Ocala declined this once in a century opportunity to put the area on the map. Fortunately, in Ocala once in a century opportunities have become commonplace.

All the while, our equine industry was putting Ocala on the map by foaling and training Triple Crown champions. The last two Triple Crown winners, Affirmed and American Pharoah, came from our horse farms. Therefore, it is not surprising that Ocala earned the title, “Horse Capital of the World”. Fortunately, in so doing, the city attracted it’s next “once in a century” opportunity. Most recently, Larry Roberts came calling with a dream of building a World Equestrian Center in Ocala. This time the people welcomed the opportunity with open arms and city authorized the construction of Mr. Roberts’ “Disneyland” for equestrians. As a result, Ocala’s economy is expected to boom for decades to come. Of course, this boom will bring with it unprecedented job growth, and ever expanding cultural, entertainment learning and lifestyle choices.

As this adventure begins, could there be a town with more to write about? We think not and look forward to the challenge. We plan to bring you weekly stories about amazing Ocala, its people, economy, lifestyles and so much more! Please enjoy our writings and visit our sister site, Amazing Ocala, too.
