Homes for Sale Near HITS Post Time Farm Ocala

Intro

HITS (Horse Shows in the Sun) brings 12 weeks of A-rated hunter/jumper competition to Ocala every winter. Competitors who come down for a single circuit and rent often realize, by year three, that buying makes more sense than renting at $6,000–$10,000 per month. If that's where you are, this page is your starting point.

Who this is for

What to look for

• Distance vs. price. Inside 3 miles, premium. 5–7 miles, much better value with negligible commute difference.
• Stall availability nearby. If you're not buying a farm, secure a stall at a nearby training barn before you close.
• HOA rules on short-term rental. Many subdivisions allow 30+ day rentals only, which works for circuit but not weekend stays.
• Traffic patterns. Circuit weeks create traffic spikes on Highway 200 and CR-475A. Some neighborhoods feel it more than others.
