In southwest Marion County, tucked between the sprawling Marion Oaks community to the west and Interstate 75 to the east, Southwest 20th Avenue Road is lined with mostly small cattle ranches and mid-size horse farms.
Just south of these rural farms sits a 221-acre parcel, with for-sale signs on billboards facing I-75. That property is poised to become an 841-home family development, adjacent to and north of the gated SummerGlen retirement community.
Located on Southwest 20th Avenue Road, 2.2 miles south of County Road 484, SummerGlen is a great place to live because it's so peaceful just outside the development, residents told planning and zoning officials this week.
