A 51-unit apartment complex in east Ocala was just sold for over $2.66 million, joining several other similar sales of income-generating properties this year in Marion County.

Silver Forest Apartments was purchased for $2,666,000 by JAX FUND 4, LLC on October 31, according to a deed filed with the Marion County Clerk of Courts.

Located at 1200 NE 30th Avenue, the complex features a total of 51 apartment units distributed over eight buildings.

The units include six studios, 33 one-bedroom units, and 12 two-bedroom units, with 2/3 of the two-bedroom units offering one bathroom and the remaining four offering two.

According to county records, the buildings that comprise the complex were built between 1984 and 1985 and were reroofed in 2021.
