About 15 miles west of Orlando, these once sleepy citrus communities have blossomed into inviting sister communities with small-town charm. Fueling the housing growth has been the area's proximity to the Florida Turnpike and the East-West Expressway. Downtown Winter Garden offers a slice of small town life on Plant Street with redeveloped stores, restaurants, and businesses capturing the charm of Old Florida.

Outdoor enthusiasts enjoy biking, rollerblading, and walking the West Orange Trail, a converted railroad bed that offers miles of natural beauty. The 1.1 million square foot West Oaks Mall offers abundant shopping and entertainment and Health Central, the area’s ultra-modern hospital continues to grow. Housing ranges from modest to upper middle ranges.
