It’s a relatively safe county to raise a family or live a peaceful life. However, as a person of color living here for years, I have never experienced more blatant racism than in this county and don’t think i ever will again. Have been called racial slurs countless times, many instances in which people refuse to be served by me while working in town and asking for a “non colored” staff member, many other instances along these lines and a lot worse. I am not easily offended by things, but the severity of the racism you or your child may experience fully integrating Into this county is drastic. If you are not a major minority, which is everything that’s not white passing in this town, it really is a perfect place. Just would like any people of color to be aware of what this place can really be like before you move over here.
I've lived in Citrus since I was hardly a year old (I'm nearly 21.) Moved from Clearwater. I had a great life here with my family; dad (until he died when I was three) my mother, grandma and pops. We all lived in the same house together for years. We were in Inverness this whole time and we always enjoyed it. We moved to the town right next to Inverness back in November, and a month ago I flew from the nest and I now live in Marion County (town of Ocala.) Citrus county has a nice small town feel, plenty of "mom n' pop" restaurants (Joe's family restaurant is my favorite) and downtown is beautiful with rich history. Only downsides are that there's a lot of hard drug use among teens and adults, a lot of the kids think they're thugs and all that. I'll always remember this place and love it. My advice is that Lecanto Highschool is not a good school if your child has mental illnesses, and that Rennaisance (school for troubled youth) is great.
I’ve been living in citrus springs for a bit know and all I have to say about this place is that it’s a rich area of arts and greenery. There’s so many kind people that leave here. Neighbors that save to you while you drive back to your house the elderly that strike up conversations that are just light hearted. It’s a close knit community but it isn’t suffocating. This is a lovely place and I think people should visit here more often and see the sites.
