Ocala - Marion Oaks.... south side, north side ?

[zalzan]

I have to laugh at the people trying to paint Marion oaks as like some kind of mini east L.A., I just rented a house there for $600 a month; here in Manchester NH i am paying $1000 a month for the third floor of a 70 year old firetrap. In the year I've lived here I have called 911 about 8 times, had drunks on my porch, the basement storage robbed, fights behind and in front, wild noisy parties all along the street, and have had to breathe the cigarette smoke of the other two apartments rising up into mine. Before Manchester I lived in Boston. FFS go live in a real city before you start whining about Ocala. Can't wait to move in...a big house and nice yard....As far as crime, well, I have a gun permit in NH and will get one in Florida. Come in uninvited and get shot. I trust the jury to make the right decision.

The same goes for us -- that's why we just bought in Dunnellon.

So if someone wants to have their trash picked up instead of hauling it to the dump themselves, they're a synonym for a donkey? Give me a break.

Ocala Fl. has its own special breed, bored and impatient. If you want to challenge these players, get in the race, otherwise, step aside, let them poison each other.

I don't believe that for a second please provide proof.

Hi, we are moving to Marion Oaks in January 2010. I would like to know if it floods anywhere in the section of Marion Oaks south of Rt 484?
How far away is any river, creek or any body of water that would cause flooding. Do those retention ponds flood when it rains a lot? Enough to damage homes? Thanks for any info!

I moved here from the shores, I live about 4.2 miles from the marion oaks waterfall on the south side, i was able to buy my son a very large new home 4/2/2 that was 300K built in 2006 in perfect condition for 87K cash have been there now 3 months, it is very peaceful and quiet, no problems at all I am also buying many little homes near the front of the area for 25-30K a pop, great rental income.
