“Clermont is where you go when you want space, nature, and an active lifestyle without paying Windermere prices.”
The Lifestyle
Weekend mornings you bike the hills or kayak the chain of lakes. The downtown is revitalizing with new restaurants and shops, though most daily errands happen along Highway 27. The Wellness Way corridor south of town is bringing thousands of new homes and a sports campus. It feels like a place that's still becoming what it's going to be, and buyers who get in now are betting on that trajectory.
