Oak Hammock is an interactive Life Plan Community for motivated individuals looking to enrich their lifestyle. Our association with the University of Florida means residents have endless opportunities to learn, engage and participate in intellectually stimulating classes, events and programs. Our residents benefit from our non-profit status, too, since we are always reinvesting in the community we’ve come to love.

See for yourself

The grounds at Oak Hammock are filled with lush greenery and peaceful wildlife that makes staying physically active easy. Our pet-friendly campus is perfect for walking, biking, outdoor adventures or simply tossing the ball to your dog under the shady oak trees. 

Our location in southwest Gainesville also offers residents multiple opportunities to get out and explore north central Florida beyond our 136-acre campus.  Stop wondering “what to do” and instead wonder “what to do next” at Oak Hammock.
