Clermont is a city in south Lake County just west of Orlando — and unusual for Florida: it has genuine rolling hills and a chain of lakes. Known for an active, outdoorsy lifestyle and relatively better value, it's a fast-growing choice for commuters and endurance athletes.
Athletic and outdoorsy. Cyclists and triathletes train on the hills, and Lake Minneola anchors a waterfront downtown and trail. More space for your money than communities closer to the parks.
Buyers prioritizing more house and land per dollar, lake access, and an active outdoor routine — and commuters willing to trade drive time for space.
The South Lake Trail, Waterfront Park on Lake Minneola, the National Training Center, and the historic Citrus Tower — plus a growing downtown dining and brewery scene.
Served by Lake County Schools, with a mix of established and newer campuses as the area grows. Assignments depend on the exact address and boundaries change — verify current zoning with the district before you buy.
Typically 35–50 minutes to downtown Orlando via SR-50 or the Turnpike, longer in peak traffic — the main trade-off for the lower prices.
