Silver Springs

Spring-fed rivers, forest and room to spread out, east of Ocala.

Nature on your doorstep

East of downtown Ocala, Silver Springs is home to Silver Springs State Park, one of Florida’s best-known springs and famous for its glass-bottom boat tours. The Silver River runs east toward the Ocklawaha, and the Ocala National Forest begins just beyond.

Housing here is varied and often more affordable than in other parts of Ocala, from homes in Silver Springs Shores to rural lots with room to spread out. It suits buyers who value space and the outdoors over being close to the city center.
