THE LELAND APARTMENTS

Ocala’s Outdoor Capital — Springs, Forest, Trails, and Horses Right Outside Your Door

Ocala is one of the great outdoor destinations in Florida, and The Leland Apartments puts you at the center of it. Silver Springs State Park — home to crystal-clear first-magnitude springs, glass-bottom boat tours, and some of the most biologically diverse spring ecosystems in Florida — is just a short drive east on Silver Springs Boulevard from Fort King Street. The Ocala National Forest, the southernmost national forest in the continental United States, stretches east of the city with hundreds of miles of hiking, biking, equestrian, and off-road trails through longleaf pine and sandhill scrub ecosystems. Ocala is also known as the Horse Capital of the World, with more thoroughbred horses per acre than anywhere outside of Kentucky — equestrian trails and horse farms define the landscape surrounding the city. Kayaking, canoeing, and swimming in the Ocklawaha River and the area’s many spring-fed lakes round out the picture. For residents who choose where to live based on access to the outdoors, The Leland’s East Fort King Street address is one of the most naturally connected in North Central Florida.
