Yahoo! Finance recently posted an article about the 30 most affordable downtown areas to live across the United States. With a median home price of $248,700 and a median rent of $1,289, Ocala, Florida ranked number ten on the list. According to the article, “the downtowns represented encompass a wide range of locations and sizes, with a multitude of different attractions. As they are the most affordable downtown areas in the country, they could offer good value for first-time homebuyers, or anyone else looking for an exciting city on a budget.”
Here’s what Yahoo! Finance had to say about Ocala, FL:
“Located in north-central Florida, Ocala is adjacent to its namesake Ocala National Forest, which is the southernmost forest in the continental United States and is the largest sand pine forest in the world. Located in what’s known as “horse country,” Ocala has plenty of outdoor recreational activities available in its boundaries, including pristine streams, rolling hills and clean air.”
