Anthony is a small, quiet corner of Marion County with just two established communities on the map: Towering Oaks and Woodland Oaks. Neither neighborhood is a large-scale development, and there's no new-construction activity here — these are both resale markets built out years ago, with Towering Oaks standing out as the more active of the two in terms of current listings. Housing stock is a mix of single-family homes and manufactured/mobile properties, giving buyers flexibility depending on budget and preference, though inventory in Woodland Oaks tends to be thin at any given time. There are no age-restricted or 55+ active adult sections in Anthony, so these communities draw a broad range of residents rather than a retirement-focused crowd. What Anthony offers instead is space, rural character, and a slower pace compared to nearby Ocala, appealing to buyers who want acreage-friendly living without giving up proximity to town. Pricing has ranged from the mid five figures for older manufactured homes up into the high $500,000s for single-family properties, making this a market that can work for a first-time buyer looking for value just as easily as it can for someone wanting a larger custom-style home on a quiet lot. Overall, Anthony suits buyers prioritizing land and privacy over subdivision amenities, with Towering Oaks serving as the best starting point for anyone exploring what this small community has to offer.
There are currently 2 single-family homes from $350,000 to $559,000 and 1 manufactured/mobile at $85,000 for sale.
