Oak Run

Oak Run is a 55+ senior living community with a warm, neighborly feeling where residents can take part in plenty of events and activities, like the regular town hall meetings with Sheriff Chris Blair at the Palm Grove Community Room, the Christmas Spectacular concert, chili cook-offs, and interfaith breakfasts, and there's always something going on, whether it's yoga classes at Amrit Yoga Institute, stretching groups at Forest Community Center, or the Stitch Niche's therapeutic stitching group that brings people together, and folks who enjoy hobbies can join model railroad gatherings with the Ocala Model Railroad Historical Preservation Society or ballroom dancing at the American Armenian Cultural Society Hall, plus pickleball at Cohadjoe Park, so residents really do get a mix of social and wellness choices. Oak Run has a community women's barbershop chorus called OCALA HARMONY and offers painting and drawing classes for adults wanting to learn new things. You'll find supportive groups, too, like the mental health self-help discussion and a group for families caring for loved ones with mental health needs, which helps people feel heard and connected. The campus itself is laid out with comfort in mind, offering independent living, assisted living, skilled nursing, memory care, respite care, all supported by 24-hour supervision, medication management, and help with daily needs such as bathing, dressing, and meals, so people can stay as independent as possible with help nearby. Apartments come with private bathrooms, kitchenettes, furnishings, air conditioning, cable TV, telephones, and Wi-Fi, plus there's all-day and restaurant-style dining with options for special diets including diabetes and allergies. The community also takes care of housekeeping, laundry, move-in help, and concierge services, so residents can relax. Shared spaces include a library, fitness room, activity room, arts room, movie theater, game room, spa/wellness space, outdoor walking paths, a community garden, and outdoor gathering spots, making it easy to join in or just sit and enjoy the day. There's a single-family home style with two bedrooms, two bathrooms, carpet flooring, a heat pump, concrete block foundation, and a modest patio area, sitting on a lot of about 6,534 square feet, built in 1988 and last updated in 2001, with no garage or parking on the property. The whole place is kept safe with a 24-hour emergency alert system and is governed by housing protections for gender identity and orientation under federal law, while community pride is shown through the unity symbol in the Oak Run logo. With only one unit in the building and a six-resident capacity in the community, things feel friendly and close-knit, the estimated value is around $166,100 after the last sale in August 2021, and with all the organized daily activities, festive gatherings, arts and music programs, movie nights, and resident-run clubs, people can find something to do or someone to talk to each day, all while knowing there are health and support services right on hand for any need that comes up.
