SummerGlen sits at 15480 SW 13th Circle in Ocala, Florida, with green fairways and gentle hills all around, offering homes and services for older adults who want independent living, assisted living, or memory care. The place has a pet-friendly attitude, and you'll find lots of wide, open lawns, a community pool, and pretty walking paths near horse farms and quiet roads, which some folks like for the peace and relaxing views, plus they have paved, private streets lined with trees, a corner lot layout, and an easy entry garage with space for two cars, and you can drive a golf cart on the roads, too. Most of their homes use a single-family design made by Florida Leisure Communities, with models like the Bal Harbor, featuring a big master suite, walk-in closet, an inside laundry room, a kitchen with wood cabinets and solid counters, bamboo floors, a private lanai with double-pane glass, ceiling fans, and window treatments, while some homes come with a den, an extra Great Room, and a shed for extras if folks need it, plus there's a homeowners' association and a $252 monthly fee covering things like road care, trash pickup, cable TV, and full access to recreation spots, and they at least let you bring your pets, though there's a fence policy and gated entry for everyone's safety.
SummerGlen's shared facilities include a clubhouse, fitness center, shuffleboard and tennis courts, a pickleball area, and a library, plus folks get to use a pool and play rounds at the golf course right on the grounds, which is handy if you like sports or group activities. They have a movie theater, a wellness and spa room, a garden just for residents, arts and music programs, and some special events like Music in the Park, and you can sit outside on the porch or hang out in the game room, which some residents do in the afternoons. Services for care cover meals with an all-day dining room, restaurant dining, help for diabetics, allergy-aware foods, and special diets, along with basic services like housekeeping, laundry, dry cleaning, rides around town, and a 24-hour call system with staff trained to help with bathing, dressing, and medicine reminders, so if you need a little more support they've built that right in, plus there's on-site supervision if someone needs memory care.
They offer high-speed internet, kitchenettes, cable TV, private bathrooms, and even phone lines in each home, which can make day-to-day life run a bit smoother, and most rooms have open floor plans with bamboo floors, comfort-height toilets, and big windows for light, while the Bal Harbor model stands out for things like plantation shutters and a walk-in shower. Moving in comes with support for families, and there's property management and real estate help for anyone buying or selling, plus the homes sit on lots about a quarter acre in size, so there's space outside for a small garden or lawn chair if you want to sit and watch the sunset, and the grounds are managed by the Heathrow Community Master Homeowners Association for consistent care of shared spaces. Photos and a map are online for easy viewing, though folks do need working JavaScript to use the SummerGlen website, which some find tricky, but the online retirement directory has good information and a photo gallery if you want to see what you're getting before you visit. SummerGlen keeps things going for seniors by blending comfort and daily services with activities, handy amenities, and a sense of security, while real estate services cover both residential and commercial listings for those needing advice or planning ahead.
