Rolling hills, big lakes, and a famously active community.

Talk to Efrain about Clermont

The feel

Active, outdoorsy, and upward, thanks to the hills.

The housing

Established lakefront and neighborhood homes plus fast-growing new communities across the hills.

The commute

The Florida Turnpike is the main artery into Orlando; expect a longer but scenic drive to the east side.

The lay of the land

What living in Clermont is really like

Clermont is the rare Florida town with actual hills, which is exactly why it became the state's training ground for triathletes, runners, and cyclists. The National Training Center calls it home, and the monthly races and events around Lake Minneola give the town an energy few suburbs can match.

Landmarks like the 226-foot Florida Citrus Tower look out over a landscape of lakes and citrus groves, while the Clermont Chain of Lakes delivers some of the best boating in Central Florida. Around all of it, family neighborhoods keep growing, from established lakefront streets to newer master-planned communities.

Who it suits

Athletes and outdoor families, boaters, and buyers who want more land and more miles of trails.

Known for

The Florida Citrus Tower, the National Training Center, the Chain of Lakes, and the Lake Minneola waterfront park.

Efrain’s take

Realtor · Team Reyes

“Clermont's lifestyle is its own brand: active, lake-centered, and unpretentious. If you would rather be on the water or the trail than in traffic, this is a very easy place to call home.”
