Clermont
The Choice of Champions
Clermont is one of Central Florida's most beloved communities — and once you see it, you'll understand why. Perched on a series of rolling hills above a chain of sparkling lakes, it has a geography unlike anywhere else in flat Florida. The sunsets over Lake Minneola are genuinely something to talk about.
It earned the nickname "The Choice of Champions" because of its world-class National Training Center, which has attracted Olympic and professional athletes for decades. But for most residents, the real draw is simpler: it feels like a real town. Downtown Clermont has restaurants, events, a waterfront park, and a community that actually shows up for each other.
Whether you're a first-time buyer, a growing family, or someone looking to put down roots after years of renting — Clermont has a neighborhood for you. From established lakefront estates to newer subdivisions with resort-style pools, the range of options is impressive.
