Clermont

With Clermont’s rolling topography, picturesque lakes, and easy access to major roadways make this city a perfect place to call home.  

Clermont is located in Lake County just 20 miles west of Orlando, Clermont was voted the best city in Central Florida to live in in 2016 by the Orlando Business Journal. This friendly city has a small-town feel while keeping you a short 30 minutes from all the excitement and entertainment that Orlando offers. It’s the best of both worlds: big city minus the high prices and traffic! 

Living in Clermont, you’ll never be at a loss for things to do. Enjoy nature at one of the city’s 22 parks or get out, get active on one of the numerous trails, or emerge yourself in some art and culture in Historic Clermont. Everywhere you look there are large hills, gorgeous lakes, and scenic views to take in. And being dead center in the state can have you to the Gulf of Mexico or the Atlantic Ocean in just over 1 hour either way. 

Trails for Miles!  Clermont is home to some amazing trails.  The challenging hills are a big draw for cyclists from all over.  The Clermont/Minneola Trail, the South Lake Trail, and the Hancock Trail are a few of the local ones.  If you’re up for the challenge, you can jump on the Florida Coast to Coast Connector trail, which joins many smaller trails together, and allows you to ride 250 miles! So get ready to tie up those laces or pump up those tires and get out to hit the trails.

Tee Time!  With 6 courses in Clermont, you won’t have a problem finding a spot to tee off.  The naturally rolling terrain and dramatic elevation change Clermont is known for making for scenic and challenging courses.  Legends Golf and Country Club, Kings Ridge Golf Club, Sanctuary Ridge Golf Club, and Swiss Fairways Golf Course are a few that should be at the top of your list!

The small but mighty town of Clermont offers activities to please everyone in the family. Whether you’re an outdoor enthusiast and enjoy camping and nature or hitting the trails for some fresh air and exercise, looking to take in some history in the Historic Downtown, yearning to learn (and taste) all about wine at Lakeridge Winery & Vineyards, or needing some retail therapy with a quick drive to Orlando, homes in Clermont will keep you close and ready to go.
