WINDERMERE FLORIDAWindermere Florida is one of the nicest small towns in Florida. About 2,000 people live among the large oaks located on an isthmus on the Butler Chain of Lakes. Founded in 1889, Windermere is one of the oldest communities in Orange County, Florida. In the early days of the construction of Walt Disney World, the 1960's and 1970's, many Disney executives lived in Windermere. In more recent years, plush golf course developments like Isleworth, home of Tiger Woods and other celebrities, have popped up on the edges of Windermere.
Windermere's location on the isthmus puts it on the shortest path between the east and west sides of the chain of lakes.The next lake crossing to the south is 7.5 miles away at Lake Buena Vista where CR-535 and Apopka-Vineland Road intersect. The next lake crossing to the north is at Gotha, 2 miles north. This has made Windermere a busy little place for traffic, but the town has handled it beautifully with roundabouts and other traffic calming techniques. They don't mind handing out speeding tickets, either. Windermere is a pleasant and peaceful place to spend a day; you won't feel like speeding through town.
