Windermere, Florida is located in Southwest Orange County, approximately 14 mile from downtown Orlando Florida and 6 miles north of the Walt Disney World Resort.  Windermere is known as the Town of Lakes, since it is surrounded by sand bottom lakes.  Lake Butler is the largest and borders the town to the west.  Lake Down borders the town to the east and Lake Bessie to the Southeast.  Through a series of canals, Lake Butler and Lake Down connect with 6 additional lakes, forming the Butler Chain of Lakes. Beautiful lake front homes in gated communities are available for the estate home buyer.

The downtown area consists of three blocks of commercial space of varied but limited services. As you drive through Main Street be attentive to the 25 MPH speed limit, as the town police are known to give out quite a few speeding tickets!

Because of the small town feel and the access to the Butler Chain of Lakes, Windermere has slowly become an upscale community with multiple communities with homes priced in the millions of dollars.  The most well known of these is Isleworth, home to celebrities, corporate executives and local entrepreneurs.  Of course, there are additional communities with ultra luxury homes in Windermere.

This does not mean that all homes in Windermere are in this price range.  Many communities that are not located on the Butler Chain of Lakes offer beautiful surroundings for less than a home in Isleworth. One of the most popular communities with a wide range of home prices is Keene's Point, on Lake Tibet-Butler and home to a Jack Nichlas Signature Golf Course, the Golden Bear Club.
