Dr Phillips: The area of Dr. Phillips is named for Dr. Phillip Phillips, a citrus magnate in Central Florida. He was innovative in the packaging and processing of orange juice. Thousands of acres of citrus groves were stretched across nine of the Central Florida counties and extended north of Conroy Rd. to the Sand Lake Chain of lakes at the south, taking in all of what is know today as Dr. Phillips, Bay Hill Country Club, Orange Tree Country Club, Sand Lake Hills and Turkey Lake Park. The community has established several multi-million dollar estates surrounding the Butler Chain of lakes, golf courses and other dedicated subdivision locations. Recently a stretch of shopping locations along Sand lake Road house dinning from the drive thru to the 5 star restaurants. No longer do you see citrus just wonderment. European flair has now taken hold.
Hunter's Creek: Located 14 miles south of Orlando and six miles south of the popular Florida Mall, the Hunter's Creek community is one of Central Florida's favorite neighborhoods. With a natural creek that winds through the 600-acre conservation area, Hunter's Creeks offers quiet escapes just moments from great neighborhoods. Residents are especially proud of the neighborhood's three schools, each with state-of-the art facilities and technology-oriented classrooms. Nearby Cypress Creek High School has been nationally recognized for academic excellence and student involvement. A middle and elementary school are located in the community as well. Amenities include more than attractive homes and good schools. Hunter's Creek offers six parks, with basketball, soccer and softball fields, tennis and volleyball courts and children's playgrounds and picnic areas. Add miles of bicycle and walking paths, and the Hunter's Creek Golf Course and families are free to grow and play. Nestled in the midst of the 4,000-acre master planned community is Town Center, with an abundance of shops and services. Residents also have quick access to Kissimmee amenities, including the Tupperware Auditorium just to the south.
Celebration: Celebration, Florida is a census-designated place and an unincorporated master-planned community in Osceola County in the U.S. state of Florida, near Walt Disney World Resort. It was developed by The Walt Disney Company. Celebration is connected directly to the Walt Disney World parks and resorts by World Drive; the north end of World Drive begins near the Magic Kingdom and its south end connects to Celebration Boulevard, allowing Celebration residents and guests to drive to Disney property without having to use any busy thoroughfares.
Celebration is separated into separate areas referred to as Villages. The main village, closest to downtown, is where the first homes were constructed. North Village, closest to 192, houses the Georgetown Condos as well as Acadia Estate Homes. East Village includes Roseville Corner and Aquila Loop. Lake Evalyn, generally considered its own area of Celebration but not quite its own village, includes a street called "Wisteria Lane", a name made famous by the ABC dramedy Desperate Housewives, and a small lake where one can find a multitude of ducks, alligators, and the occasional river otter. South Village houses the Spring Park Loop estate homes and Heritage Hall. Additionally, Siena Condos complete the outer edge of South Village by Celebration Blvd. Mirasol includes condos with concierge service as well as a day spa. Artisan Park, is at the end of Celebration Ave and houses condos, townhomes, single family residences as well as a clubhouse consisting of a pool, gym, and restaurant.
Windermere: Nestled between a pristine chain of lakes, the quaint town of Windermere is a luxury community that has retained its small town charm. Today's Windermere, with lavish lakefront estates, little resembles the land the Englishman Dr. Stanley Scott bought in 1895. Named after the Lake Windermere area of England, the tiny community soon took hold and a 1920 census reported 182 residents. This community's small-town charm can be seen in its historically preserved "downtown" where the two-story wood frame town hall serves as an anchor to the past. When the town council began meeting in 1925, elected officials gathered at the Windermere Woman's Club. The building was adopted as city hall and moved to its present downtown site in 1938 for use as a community center and later the seat of local government. Today, residents enjoy the town hall and surrounding area, which includes the Chase Memorial Library, basketball courts, a municipal office building and the Cal Palmer Memorial Building, named after a founding resident. The town hall is listed on the National Register of Historic Places. The town is literally set on a small strip of land amongst the Butler Chain of Lakes, offering residents glorious vistas and a retreat from the sometimes-tropical heat. Surrounded land, once rich with orange and citrus groves, is now dotted with lush estate homes. In fact, since the 1980s, Windermere has found fame through its residents. Many of Central Florida's rich and famous live just east and south of town in the private Isleworth community.
Williamsburg: Williamsburg is actually a very large subdivision bounded roughly on the north by the Beach Line freeway, on the south by the Central Florida Greenway, on the east by Shingle Creek and on the west by International Drive, aka I-Drive. The main intersection of the community is at Orangewood Blvd. and Central Florida Parkway. In early 2000, Williamsburg's Homeowners Association worked with the Orange County Board of County Commissioners to make sure that traffic from the new expanded Orange County Convention Center did not pass through the interchange between Orangewood Blvd. and the Beachline, which would expand to connect to a southern extension of Universal Blvd.. The result was an interchange that directed a bulk of southbound Universal Blvd. traffic onto the Beachline, with only one lane passing under to connect to Orangewood Blvd. Williamsburg is in the heart of the SeaWorld Resort, minutes from Disney and minutes from the International Airport.
Davenport: The area to the north east of Polk County, part of the greater Davenport area is rapidly developing due to its close proximity to Walt Disney World and other major tourist attractions. Polk County has zoned much of the land to the north of Davenport for short term rental development, and large developments of high priced homes have been built. Many homes are purchased by British residents who rent the homes to British tourists for annual vacations to nearby Orlando. This influx of money has a great influence on the economy and local development of Davenport. Many British residents visit Orlando each year, some preferring to rent a home for their vacation, instead of using the traditional hotels on International Drive and Kissimmee in Greater Orlando.
Lake Nona Nestled among Orlando’s pristine lakes and lush greenery, Lake Nona’s Tom Fazio-designed golf course and county club weaves a rich tapestry of tranquil settings in one of America’s most legacy of living life to the fullest. Considered an easy travel to all of Central Florida attractions, and located just outside of the Orlando International Airport in south east Orlando.
Ocoee: Ocoee shares their area's small-town flavor reflected at the annual Founders Day, Christmas parade, craft fairs and youth sports. Residents have restored and preserved historical landmarks such as the Withers-Maquire House and Museum. Outdoor enthusiasts enjoy rollerblading, walking and biking the West Orange Trail, a converted old railroad bed that offers miles of natural beauty. Nearby Lake Apopka is the focus of an expansive restoration project, with the efforts underway to regain the lake's fame of earlier days. With Florida's small-town charm intact, the Winter Garden Ocoee area seems poised and ready for growth. The 1.1. Million square foot West Oaks Mall blends retail with entertainment. The area's ultra-modern hospital - Health Central, continues to grow, and today includes a 228-bed nursing home and other offices. Several private assisted living facilities also service the area. Metrowest: MetroWest is a family-oriented, master planned golf community in southwest Orlando. The concept of MetroWest was born almost 20 years ago when a group of insightful developers outlined the vision of a true urban village in which people could live comfortably, conduct business, play championship golf, and admire an impeccably maintained landscape, while still having the benefit of the most convenient location in all of Central Florida. What was once only a vision is now a reality, manifested in the vibrant, thriving master-planned community of Metrowest . MetroWest Country Club. World-renowned golf course architect Robert Trent Jones, Sr., has crafted a 7,051-yard masterpiece with 100-foot elevations that gracefully roll among water hazards and expansive bunkers to form a fair, yet demanding test of golf. The MetroWest master plan assures that its business community will have every advantage-easy access to downtown Orlando, the International Airport, and all major transportation routes. Just as important, Metrowest is exempt from concurrency, allowing for an expeditious permitting process. With its location in Orlando's thriving southwest corridor, Metrowest is the strategic location for business in Central Florida.
