About Hernando

Hernando is a quiet community in northeastern Citrus County, home to roughly 9,000 residents. Located right along the shores of Lake Tsala Apopka, it offers a relaxed, rural Florida atmosphere with easy access to everyday conveniences. Families and retirees appreciate the peaceful neighborhoods and strong local school system, while nearby Inverness and Citrus Hills provide plenty of shopping, dining, and medical services just a short drive away.

Life in Hernando revolves largely around the outdoors and the water. Lake Hernando Park is a favorite spot for boating, freshwater fishing, and weekend get-togethers, and the paved Withlacoochee State Trail runs right through the area for biking and walking. Well-connected county roads make commuting simple, putting the Gulf Coast, Crystal River, and Ocala within easy reach for work or weekend day trips.
