Winter Garden, FL Real Estate

Growing suburb that’s great for families

Winter Garden has recently been the site of increased suburban development, bringing more families, businesses, and schools to this growing city. Just 14 miles west of Orlando and with a population of about 45,000, Winter Garden is an increasingly popular place to live for those who want convenient access to the best of the city but with the comfort, privacy, and slower pace of a suburban lifestyle. This city also offers historic charm that calls to mind Florida's early agricultural roots, and it has become known as the cultural centerpiece of West Orange County.

Winter Park homes for sale range from Mediterranean Revival estates to Craftsman bungalows. Streets are lined with oak trees that add character to both new and historic homes, some of which date back to the 19th and 20th centuries. Common features include tile roofs, stucco walls, and arched doorways, though modern elements are present as well.
