Hello I am a nursing 1 student after being an LMHC for 10 yrs. I have lived in Dunnellon for the past 11 yrs. I love it. We are growing by leaps and bounds. Cost of living ie housing is the most reasonable in the state! 2 rivers locally, Rainbow (which is spring fed and crystal clear) and the Withalachoccee which harkens back to dinsoaurs and swamps....... 25 mins to Crystal River and the gulf. 45 mins to Shands via 175 35 mins by Williston. 2 major hospitals here, Munore Regional, and Ocala Regional. Munore being the biggest. They just expanded so you might look into their NICU there. If I can answer any questions about our little town (2000 in town, serves an area of 20,000.......let me know..... Lynn Fowler
