The Why
Windermere lakefront properties are among the most expensive real estate in greater Orlando. But why?
The property value of a home can increase more than 30% on a lake, but if you add the word "Windermere" to that address, celebrities, athletes, and business professionals alike have flocked to the area and call it home.
Why are the words "Windermere" and "lakefront" synonymous with affluence and prestige? It is the age-old real estate adage, "location, location, location," which emphasizes the proximity of amenities, neighborhood quality, and scenic views.
Windermere is geographically blessed, sandwiched between two large lakes, Lake Butler and Lake Down, with other surrounding bays, canals, and smaller lakes. It also has easy access to all that Orlando has to offer, with Disney, Downtown Orlando, and the rest of West Orange County all within a few miles. That way, you can tap into the serenity and privacy of lakefront living and nature, all while being just minutes away from work and city life activities.

Lifestyle
Living on a lake is a completely different lifestyle than living in the city. People treat each other with a different kind of companionship and respect. Life is slower, where you take time to look up and wave to fellow boaters enjoying the sunshine and water. The water is an extension of your living room, where the people around you are not a nuisance, but neighbors and friends. Families grow up together on the water, which redefines how Windermere lakefront owners think about the beauty of community and the “American Dream.”
Kari Fleck, Founder and Broker of The Real Estate Collection, and many of her agents are long-time residents of Windermere on the Butler Chain of Lakes. With Christmas approaching, they view the annual Boat Parade as the quintessential Windermere lifestyle event. On December 16th at sunset, a procession of boats decorated in creative Christmas lights will display their holiday spirit and see some of the most beautiful homes in Windermere. This event alone pictures the year-round camaraderie neighbors of Windermere lakefront enjoy together.
Health
The potential health benefits of living on a lake are almost intuitive. Family vacation spots often center on natural water, whether a cruise through the Caribbean Sea or a waterfall hike in the mountains. Imagine waking up to a peaceful sunrise each morning over the water, followed by a radiant sunset each night. This thought alone can relax your mind, and numerous scientific studies confirm the health benefits you already experience on the water and naturally know as true.
Peer-reviewed journal articles find that people who live near a lake had a lower risk of death from all causes (Environmental Health Perspectives), report lower stress hormones and higher oxytocin levels (Nature), feel more relaxed and happy (Psychological Science), and are less likely to experience depression and anxiety (PLOS One).
