About Windermere
Windermere is a town of about 3,000 on the Butler Chain of Lakes in southwest Orange County, known for its oak-canopied streets and some of the region's most expensive lakefront estates — including homes of well-known athletes and celebrities. The town center has a small-town feel with its historic town hall and police station, while the nearby Grove plaza and Winter Garden Village cover shopping and dining. It draws buyers seeking prestige lakefront living close to the theme parks.
