Windermere is part of Orlando’s southwest region that many are familiar with for its amazing attractions and city life. The area is 14 miles southwest of downtown featuring a popular neighborhood for those that want small town living with access to big city living. The original town section (the island portion) of Windermere has around 2,855 residents as of 2013 since being established in 1889 and chartered in 1925.
The town annexed Butler Bay back in 2007 after trying to annex both this wealthy subdivision and Isleworth. Today, the downtown area of Windermere covers 1.56 square miles of land, but what is considered "Windermere" and what we have listed as Windermere in this section has grown considerably to the South and West of the original Windermere area.
For those that love a small town feel next to the best parts of Orlando such as city attractions, the beautiful outdoors, and luxury living, Windermere may be the perfect place to go. Take a look at why many are choosing Windermere for their next home.
