Orlando Real Estate Voice

One of the best places to live in the Orlando area is in the Southwest area of Orange county. In Windermere Florida on the Butler chain of Lakes. You’ll love the canal that connects eleven lakes known as the Butler Chain of Lakes comprised of Lake Down, Little Lake Down, Wauseon Bay, Lake Butler, Lake Louise, Lake Isleworth, Lake Chase, Lake Pocket, Lake Tibet, Lake Sheen, and Fish Lake. The most popular types of boats to navigate the chain are ski boats, pontoon boats, and bass fishing boats. Some popular neighborhoods on the shores of Lake Butler include Isleworth, Lake Butler Sound, and Chain du Lac. The only public access to the Butler Chain is at the R.D. Keene Park located on Chase Road in Windermere and during the summer months the 47 parking spaces fill up by the early morning hours. The Lake Down ramp does provide another place for access but there’s no place to park so what’s the point.

This chain of lakes makes waterfront living in Windermere the premier location to live in Southwest Orlando. Windermere was given its name from Dr. Stanley Scott, whose father purchased 160 acres in this picturesque location in 1885. Dr. Scott built his home on the shore of Lake Butler, and it is believed by many that he named this town after England’s Lake Windermere. Today, more than 2,300 people inhabit the Town of Windermere. The community, however, has not based its success on how rapidly it grows, but on how natural and pleasant a community in which it is to reside. Windermere tries to focus on preserving the town’s natural state and strong community atmosphere. The town’s quality of life is its most distinguishing feature. In fact, many of the town streets remain unpaved to continue their commitment to retain the pristine nature of the Chain of Lakes. The only paved street is 2nd Avenue. Windermere has been named “Tree City USA”. For luxury living in a small-town atmosphere, look no further than the Town of Windermere. The Windermere Police Department, although comprised of I believe just 3 officers, have a reputation in the area for handing out speeding tickets for going even a mile an hour over the speed limit so beware. They’re probably bored from the lack of crime so I guess I can’t blame them. Other than that, the dirt roads, small town feel, and the canopy of age old oaks makes Windermere a great place to call home.

Did you know that Windermere Florida is a sister city of Windermere England? In England Windermere is known as the Lake District and it would make sense that Windermere Florida is a sister city as it is also set amidst the Butler Chain of Lakes.

Real Estate has historically been more valuable by lakefront settings and Windermere Florida is no exception. Lots starting at a million dollars and up are not unusual especially for the Butler Chain of Lakes if you can find anymore.

Thanks to the surrounding Butler Chain of Lakes the lakefront lifestyle is a top choice for the Windermere home buyers.
