Windermere is actually an isthmus, with well-connected roads. This beautiful patch of land is situated on a vast body of water, forming Lake Down on one side and Lake Butler on the other. The other two sides are connected by roads, the Northern side is connected by the Maguire Road and the Southern side is connected by the Chase Road. There is another gateway into the town through the eastern side, following the Conroy Road. Lake Bassie sits in-between the south-eastern and southern side of Windermere, giving Windermere the shape of an airfield-driveway.
Windermere is a home-seekers dream. Home to the ultra-rich and celebrities, and known for its dirt roads since paved roads are non-existent in most parts of Windermere, as a safety measure to protect the lakes. Notable celebrities like Tiger Woods, Vince Carter, Arnold Palmer and several others have called it home. It is widely believed that Windermere is the finest that Orlando has to offer.
The history of Windermere is as worthy as the place itself. The place was home to the Timucuan Indians till the 1500s. Early settlers were few in number and it was not until the Government of U.S gave 160 acres of land for free to anyone who would come, build a cabin and cultivate 5 acres of land, that people started showing interest in Windermere. This impetus brought along the railways, the steamboats, and eventually, the tourism industry flourished in the region.
The best part of Windermere is the fact that although it is considered to be a place for the rich and the famous, yet, there are affordable homes in many neighborhoods that are completely safe, and a delight to live in. Prices for homes range from a few hundred dollars to millions of dollars, and that makes it a splendid choice to relocate to.
Windermere deserves special mention when it comes to its golf communities and high standard schools. In fact, it is considered as the finest place to live in in the entire Orlando for families with school-age children. What’s equally amazing is that it is quite close to places like Disney, I-4, and Dr. Phillips.
