The downtown area is listed on the National Registry of Historic Places and presents all to be desired in small-town charm with the added attraction of a thriving arts scene. It is seen as the commercial and cultural center of West Orange County, bringing West Orange residents into town to visit the Garden Theatre, the museums and the Art Center and the Downtown Pavilion where the Winter Garden Farmers’ Market is housed every Saturday morning.

Winter Garden, like many cities in central Florida, developed out of nineteenth century citrus industry origins to become a vibrant modern commercial and residential center attracting families, couples and singles with its range of employment opportunities and real estate. When looking at Winter Garden real estate, you find that well rated schools, superior amenities for arts and culture, organized sports and outdoor recreation and great shopping has earned the city a reputation as a highly desirable place to live. Winter Garden Village is rated as one of Central Florida’s best shopping centers and there are many popular places for dining and entertainment.

Many older stores and restaurants in downtown Winter Garden have been renovated to meet the requirements of modern living while maintaining their old world charm and style. Live music plays in the red brick streets and the historic Edgewater Hotel, proclaimed the most technologically advanced when it opened in 1927, sports a fully operational manual Otis Elevator and all the original wood counters. Once favored by such luminaries as Humphrey Bogart and Clark Gable, the Edgewater is a blast from the past featuring Scoops Old Fashioned Ice Cream Store and Earl Brigham’s old-style Barbershop! The West Orange Trail with its 22 miles of scenic biking and jogging paths is adjacent to the hotel which creates a great stopping or starting place for a long ride. The Railroad Museum features the area’s railroad history which was important enough for the Heritage Museum to display a beautiful yellow caboose out front. The recently restored Winter Garden Theater is refurbished in 1950’s style complete with marquee and old fashioned ticket booth.

These are just a few of the available housing options – there are many more affordable homes for sale in Winter Garden, too.
