Ocala Preserve Living
Originally planned as part of the Trilogy line of communities by Shea Homes in 2014, Ocala Preserve was later acquired by developer Forestar and renamed to Ocala Preserve in 2020. This change in ownership has opened up a variety of housing styles and floor plan options, with two builders currently operating within the community. Many homes within the community focus on blending open floor plans with high-end finish, providing thoughtful designs with quality of life. The biggest change to Ocala Preserve with the change in ownership is the inclusion of some all-ages portions to the overall community.
Currently, two builders operate within the community– Shea Homes and DR Horton. Several floorplans and housing styles are offered, including single-family detached homes and duplex styles for those looking for a more modest option.
