Anthony Elementary School

It suits buyers who want the rural, horse-country feel of northern Marion County with an easy reach into Ocala. The Anthony Elementary zone is defined more by land and privacy than by walkable amenities, so it rewards people who value space over convenience. It's a settled, low-turnover area rather than a fast-moving suburb.

It depends where on the ladder you land. The median list price is $520,000, but that's skewed by four listings above $1M — the median home actually sold over the past year closed at $335,750. You can find Anthony homes for sale starting around $178,000, so entry points exist alongside the estates.

Active listings average about $311 per square foot on a median home size of roughly 1,980 sqft, with asking prices from $178,000 up to $2,495,000. Actual sold prices tell a calmer story: 42 homes closed over the last 12 months at a median of $335,750.

It's a slower, buyer-friendly pace. With only 13 active listings and a median 56 days on market, homes aren't flying off the shelf, and sellers are getting about 94% of their asking price on average. That gives buyers real room to negotiate — you can track new listings on the live map.

There's no typical HOA fee recorded for this zone, which fits its rural, non-subdivision character. The median property tax comes in around $2,954 per year, keeping ongoing costs modest for the area.
