Windermere Real Estate

For small-town ambiance with access to big city living, you won’t find a more attractive place to live than Windermere. Located between the lakes of the Lake Butler chain, the natural beauty of the town’s lakefront views are stunning. It is an area of large estates and luxury homes in a wide variety of architectural styles.

Windermere is ideal in terms of being a place to live while raising your family, enjoying your career, and later for spending your retirement years. It’s a wonderful place for people of all ages. The lakes offer beautiful community parks and a wide range of recreational opportunities. There’s a frisbee golf course at Central Park, Palmer Park offers children’s playgrounds and benches for you to just sit and take in the spectacular lake views. If you’re a boater, you’ll find docks and boat ramps at Fernwood Park.

Fourteen miles south-west of Orlando’s downtown, easy commuting make it an area where professionals love to live, although the explosive growth of the Orange County area and beyond is currently causing traffic delays. However, with a little patience involved in getting there, they can spend the working day in the city knowing the children are safely at school in community-minded Windermere, where the old style warmth and small-town charm still exists. The population is still relatively small, currently not much more than 3,000.

Family homes are, without doubt, most of the luxury class, with the average home price already having reached the low to mid $500,000’s and continuing to climb as more people discover this oasis. The family median income is over $150,000 – way over the national average. Windermere real estate has grown in recent years, spurred on by its annexation of adjacent Butler Lake. Architecture is varied and fascinating and certainly includes your dream home. Considered one of Florida’s most sought-after areas, the Butler Chain of eleven lakes, where such high profile personalities as Shaquille O’Neil and Tiger Woods have properties, forms an important luxury area of Windermere.

Windermere comes under the Orange County School District which is highly ranked in all levels of public school education. Residents are served by Windermere Elementary School – one of the best public schools in Orange County, Gotha Middle School, and Olympia High School. There are several private schools including the highly respected Windermere Preparatory School.
