Windermere Real Estate

The unique thing about Windermere FL homes is their lakeside setting.  Windermere is set among the Butler chain of lakes, making it a destination for Orlando-area residents who want lakeside homes or easy access to swimming, bass fishing, and boating.  Less than 30 minutes from Orlando, Windermere FL homes should definitely be on your list to tour.

Windermere FL homes are located in a community that has taken pains to preserve its “small-town” atmosphere.  The city center has an array of carefully maintained shops and businesses that hearken back to the city’s 1887 founding.  Many of the roads remain dirt, to further the image of yesteryear.  Even the city's website has taken on the theme of a turn-of-the-century bulletin board and has a generous amount of information about the area’s history.

Don’t let the small town atmosphere fool you, though.  Windermere is very much a high income neighborhood, with most of the people living here working in white collar jobs.  As of mid-February 2009, Windermere homes for sale have a median price of $745,000.  However, Windermere new homes and Windermere foreclosures have much lower median prices, in the $200-$300K range.

If you’re looking for a family oriented neighborhood, Windermere is an excellent choice.  A combination of high income, high levels of education and low crime make this area a great place to raise children. With the close proximity of the Butler lake chain, Orlando and the surrounding suburban towns, Windermere FL homes allow growing children access to a variety of activities and educational opportunities.

Another reason you may be considering Windermere FL homes is because of the famous bass fishing.  The Butler chain is comprised of several surprisingly deep lakes connected by canals that produce an ideal habitat for largemouth bass.  The chain also supports populations of redear sunfish (shellcracker), bluegill and crappie (speck).  With the large number of lakeside homes, this city is a great place to consider if you want to fish off your dock or take your boat out to where the water runs deep.

If you’re looking for a suburban town close to Orlando, with low crime, high education, and a small-town atmosphere, come and explore Windermere real estate.  With so many people who own valuable property and take pride in it, the value of your Windermere FL home is going to reflect both your investment and theirs.
