Rolling hills, lake-studded landscapes, and one of Central Florida's fastest-growing family-friendly communities.
Clermont is unlike anywhere else in Florida. Situated in the rolling hills of south Lake County, the city offers an elevation and terrain that most people never associate with the Sunshine State. The Clermont area sits atop some of Florida's highest points, with elevations reaching over 300 feet above sea level along the Lake-Sumter State Trail corridor. This unique topography creates scenic vistas, winding roads, and a landscape that feels distinctly different from the flat terrain found across most of the state.
The city's real estate market has experienced remarkable growth over the past decade. Clermont's proximity to Orlando, roughly 22 miles west via the Florida Turnpike or US-27, makes it a natural choice for buyers seeking more space, newer construction, and competitive pricing compared to the urban core. Subdivisions like Olympus, Legends, Hartwood, and Sawgrass Bay have added thousands of modern single-family homes, while master-planned communities such as Wellness Way continue to expand south of the city center with mixed-use developments that blend residential, commercial, and recreational space.
