Welcome to Williston

Nestled in the rolling hills of Levy County, surrounded by farms and horse country lies the picturesque rural community of Williston. As the "Gateway to the Nature Coast," this town of approximately 2,300 people offers much to residents and visitors alike.

For nature-lovers it provides an abundance of outdoor recreational opportunities. For families, Williston offers a low crime rate along with employment opportunities and excellent local schools. Retirees can enjoy a laid-back lifestyle and low cost of living, as well as close proximity to larger cities such as Gainesville, Ocala, Orlando and Tampa with all their amenities.

The temperate climate averaging 57 degrees in the winter and 82 degrees in the summer is a respite for folks wanting to escape the chilly northern temperatures in the winter and the sometimes extreme Florida heat in the summer. Its location inland from the coasts makes it a relatively safe haven from tropical storms and hurricanes.
