Life in Clermont, FL

Clermont sits in the rolling hills of South Lake County, between Lake Minneola and Lake Minnehaha, about 25 miles west of Orlando. It is known for its chain of lakes, the 1956 Citrus Tower, and a deep endurance sports culture built around triathlons at Waterfront Park and the South Lake Trail. It is the largest city in Lake County.

Clermont was founded in 1884 and named after the French birthplace of A.F. Wrotniski, manager of the Clermont Improvement Company. It incorporated as a city in 1916, and citrus was its main industry well into the 1960s. Freezes in the 1980s wiped out the groves around the Citrus Tower, and the city has since grown into a commuter and recreation hub. A mix of Orlando commuters, young families in newer subdivisions, and retirees in established 55+ golf communities. Weekends center on the lakefront, the Sunday farmers market downtown, and early morning rides and runs on the trail.

Buying in Clermont: what Ryan and Megan check

  • South Clermont near Lake Louisa lies within the Green Swamp Area of Critical State Concern. Check what development and land use rules apply to the parcel.
  • Lakehaven has an all-ages side and a separate 55+ Del Webb side, and Serenoa is separate from 55+ Palms at Serenoa. Confirm which side a home is on, and ask about HOA and CDD fees in newer communities.
  • Lake Minneola and the chain of lakes are central to the lifestyle. For lakefront or low-lying homes, check the FEMA flood zone and insurance cost before you write an offer. Verify school assignment with the Lake County Schools locator, since zones change as the county grows.
