Anthony sets a quiet, countryside pace in the northern reaches of Marion County, yet keeps you within an easy drive of Ocala’s shopping, healthcare, and dining. Fenced pastures and shady oaks frame local roads, and equine culture is part of everyday life—major venues like the World Equestrian Center – Ocala and the Florida Horse Park are close enough for regular shows, lessons, and spectating. Outdoor time ranges from hiking and birding in Indian Lake State Forest to kayaking the glassy headwaters at Silver Springs State Park, with the community of Silver Springs just down the road. Daily needs are straightforward, and the rural road network makes commutes pleasantly simple.
Families appreciate local education options: Anthony Elementary School anchors the neighborhood, with North Marion Middle School and North Marion High School serving upper grades in nearby Citra. Resources from the Marion County Public Library System support learners of all ages. Homes span tidy ranch houses, mini-farms, and acreage estates, giving room for gardens, workshops, and of course, horses. Whether you’re upsizing to more land or seeking a low-key base near major amenities, Anthony balances elbow room with access. If you’re planning a move, Agent Pronto can match buyers and sellers with proven local real estate agents who know the area and its market nuances.
