North Central Florida Retirement Communities

The North Central Florida region includes much of the state's Nature Coast and the area known as the Heart of Florida. From the rolling, rural settings of Ocala and Marion County to the rapidly-growing Orlando suburban area around Clermont and southern Lake County, the region offers a wide variety of experiences for both winter and year-around residents.

Interstate 75 and the Florida Turnpike both run through the heart of the region, providing for rapid access to three of the state's largest metropolitan areas - Jacksonville, Orlando and Tampa. But a little distance can be a good thing: The area is home to over 70 golf courses, a major National Forest and a number of state parks, recreational areas and wildlife management areas.
