Windermere is built around the Butler Chain of Lakes, one of the few places in Central Florida where you can buy true lakefront acreage. It's home to some of the area's most exclusive gated communities -- Isleworth, Lake Butler Sound, Keene's Pointe -- alongside more accessible options a short drive from the lakes themselves.
Zoned for Orange County Public Schools: Windermere Elementary, Bridgewater Middle, and Windermere High.
Many Windermere communities carry no CDD, relying on an HOA instead -- worth confirming address by address, since it materially changes the true monthly cost.
