About On Top of the World
On Top of the World is one of the largest and longest-established 55+ age-restricted communities in Florida. Spread across SW Ocala along SR 200, the master plan includes many distinct neighborhoods and an amenity base that functions like a small town, centered on Circle Square Commons, a town center with restaurants, shops, medical offices, a cultural center, and regular events.
Golf is a major draw, with 54 holes across three courses: The Links and The Tortoise & The Hare for residents, and the semi-private Candler Hills Golf Club. Beyond golf, owners have access to fitness centers, pools, pickleball and tennis courts, softball fields, hobby and craft studios, and a long roster of clubs and interest groups.
Housing ranges from villas and attached homes to larger single-family residences, with both resale and newer construction. Candler Hills is the community's golf-centered neighborhood with newer, larger floor plans, while older sections provide lower entry points. Architecture leans Florida traditional, with open, single-level plans and covered lanais.
