Why look for homes for sale in Winter Garden Fl?

Living in Winter Garden is synonymous with peaceful days, without the stress that crime, traffic and other disorders can cause, and that always happen in big cities. But that doesn't stop this city from being known for its strong commercial side and its great location. Depending on where you are, the distance to Disney parks can range between 10 and 20 minutes. In the case of Lakeshore and Watermark communities, for instance, the distance is just 10 minutes.

In addition to the Orlando shopping complex, the city has a wide range of designer stores, including: Victoria's Secret, as well as clothing, electronics, games, accessories, and even pet stores.

Furthermore, Winter Garden homes are more affordable than other places around Orlando. Moreover, the houses are endowed with beauty, with many properties in Winter Garden standing as true architectural works, showing the best that Florida has to offer in lifestyles for those who want to live there.

Another notable characteristic is the high number of closed communities with new homes for sale. The demand for homes in these communities is very high, as the city offers excellent quality of life for its residents and excellent teaching scores for schools in the region. Because of this, many families choose to buy a home in Winter Garden.

However, there are still some other reasons worth mentioning when you are looking for a place to live:

Winter Garden Homes For Sale Great School District

Great School District B+ rated.

  • Winter Garden is a small town, its population just 34568 residents. Despite that, the city is a good place to live, especially when you have or plan to have children. Because it has good school districts, most of them (especially the public ones) are rated A and some are rated B. From elementary to high school, all schools in the region have great grades.

Newer Homes Because It is a New Developed Area.

  • Until 1983, the city of Winter Garden was composed of farms. After a severe winter that lasted 6 years, the city began to be reinvented, and became the favorite suburb of Orlando. The construction of well-structured communities had begun. Thus, the city that appears today was being formed.
  • As it's a city located west of Orlando, an area that is growing up fast, Winter Garden became the most important developed area with a lot of newer homes.
Houses For Sale In Wintergarden Fl New Developed Area
Homes For Sale Winter Garden Fl Great Price

Great Price

  • Since this city is still developing, it isn't as highly valued as other areas in Orlando. Therefore, its land is affordable, so it's possible to buy homes at a great price.

Very Well Located

  • Winter Garden is a city in the state of Florida. It's 14 miles (23 km) west of Downtown Orlando. The best way to reach it for those coming from downtown is to take the very fast US 408 highway. For those coming from Kissimmee, the 429 is the best option.
  • In Winter Garden, there is no lack of leisure options. The city lies north of Disney World and very close to Universal Studios. So it's a good place to live for people who work in these communities. There is also a special thing about it: when you live in the south of Winter Garden, you can watch the Magic Kingdom fireworks from your house!
  • But there are other options as well. The old railway that cut through the city center was disabled and was replaced by the Orange County's West Orange Trail, a trail for cyclists, skaters, or even 35 km hikes. The other option, close to the new condos just off US 429, is Winter Garden Village. A complex of more than 100 shops and restaurants.
  • The last, but not the least important, advantage is that the distance between the Orlando Airport (MCO) and Winter Garden is just 19 miles.
Houses For Sale In Winter Garden Fl Very Well Located
Winter Garden Florida Homes Investment Opportunities

Investment Opportunities

  • The land is more affordable than the areas around it but it's appreciating, so every year the price is going up. Because when there is a new area being built the appreciation goes much quicker. So, these proprieties are appreciating quicker than the ones that are in an established community or city. The second is that, as there are newer homes, the owner is going to have less problems and less expenses with them.

Vacation Homes For Sale In Winter Garden Fl - The Grove

  • Winter Garden is located in the state of Florida, in Orange County. This county doesn't allow vacation homes for sale. So, as you noticed, Winter Garden is residential. The city doesn't allow short-term rent, only long-term rent if the buyer is thinking about investing.
  • However, since the city doesn't allow vacation homes, they have The Grove Resort. The great advantage of this resort is that it is the only one that the Disney World buses come to all day, every day, to pick up and drop off people to go to all the theme parks.
  • On the other hand, this is not common in the state of Florida. On the contrary, Florida is the place where you can find the most vacation homes for sale in the United States, mainly in Orlando.

It is a covered Farmers' Market that consists of more than 20 vendors. The brewery's focus is on local craft products, including retail, food and drinks.

The theme for this unique concept was to create a casual social gathering place for family and friends. The brewery culture promotes a relaxed and free-spirited approach, appreciating the little things like, for instance, a good beer in great company.

There are several restrooms along the way, located in the well-maintained trail stations. In addition, some stations also have playgrounds, picnic areas with grills, drinking fountains, benches for resting and much more.


Winter Garden Heritage Museum

The Winter Garden Heritage Museum is dedicated to preserving the heritage that gives Winter Garden its small town charm. Founded in 1998, the Heritage Museum protects and displays Winter Garden's past in architecture and inventions. Located in the heart of Downtown Winter Garden, the Heritage Museum is a glimpse into the past of one of Florida's most interesting cities.

The museum is located at the Atlantic Coast Line Depot. Currently, it is only in operation because local volunteers doante their free time to keep it open every day, from 1 PM to 5 PM. Around the walls, you are going to find, for instance, several photographs of early era Winter Garden. A large collection of citrus fruits labels, as well as documents of the first colonizers can be found inside.


Central Florida Railroad Museum

Put on your conductor's hat and take a tour of the Central Florida Railroad Museum. Located in the center of Winter Garden, the museum is housed in the old Tavares and Gulf Rail Company building. The building's white aluminum exterior contrasts sharply to the vibrant history contained within. Go through the old screen door and sign the Railroad Museum's guestbook to put your personal stamp on history. Inside the museum, locals and a volunteer will be waiting for you to take a big tour through the museum. It tells the story of the two main railways that ran through Winter Garden: Tavares and Gulf Rail Company and The Atlantic Coast Line. Glued to the walls, for instance, are photos and various plaques that portray the historical tradition and the heritage of the railway system still in operation.

The museum has a large display of authentic rail items, including rails and nails that were actually used to build the rail system, as well as models of rail systems from different parts of the United States. The real attraction to see inside the museum is the telegraph room. In this room, besides several manuals, there are: an old two-piece telephone and an authentic telegraphic equipment. Local historians notice that people used the telegraph system, for instance, as a communication device that helped keep trails safe, clear, and free of accidents.

The Railroad

The railroad was a key component of the Winter Garden economy, which exported products and cargo and imported people from across the state. The volunteer Terry Baker of the Railroad Museum noticed that: "Trains were a civilized way of traveling. You could get on a train and avoid everyday traffic."

The railways are certainly the lifeblood of the Winter Garden historic economy. So, the city may not be what it is today without the existence of the railways. If you want to experience a piece of history, be sure to stop by the Central Florida Railroad Museum, in the center of Winter Garden. Open every day from 1 PM to 5 PM.
