WELCOME TO WINTER GARDEN
A fast-growing and welcoming community with idyllic Old World charm

Winter Garden is a unique suburban enclave that comprises several distinct “villages,” each having a unique character and vibe. The neighborhoods are well-established with lush vegetation, tree-lined streets, and beautifully manicured lawns and gardens. Residents take pride in ownership and go to great pains to keep their homes looking postcard perfect. While many neighborhoods consist of older homes that have been updated with modern finishes and amenities, some areas in Winter Garden have newer construction. You’ll find luxurious modern townhouses, charming single-family homes, and some luxurious condominiums. The northern edge of Winter Garden rests on the banks of Lake Apopka, so some homes in that area have a lakefront property and incredible views. Architectural styles vary, including Spanish, contemporary, mid-century modern, bungalows, craftsman, traditional, and Colonial.

The residents of Winter Garden are a mix of young families, professionals, and retirees. The community is very tight-knit and welcoming. Residents enjoy gathering in Centennial Plaza, a quaint shopping area with many fantastic shops and restaurants, plus a weekly farmers’ market. Winter Garden is less than 30 minutes from Orlando, where residents can enjoy theme parks, fine dining, and world-class entertainment. The community has many beautiful parks and access to the West Orange Trail, which offers 22 miles of paved walking and biking paths. The area is also where you’ll find the beautiful and challenging West Orange Country Club.
