Frequently Asked Questions

Yes, Clermont consistently ranks as one of the best suburbs in Central Florida. I've helped families relocate here for the top-rated Lake County schools, the rolling hills that are rare in Florida, and the roughly 30-minute drive to downtown Orlando. You get newer construction, safe neighborhoods, and around 300 days of sunshine a year.

As of 2026, the median home price in Clermont sits around $425,000, with most single-family homes trading between the mid $300s and low $500s. New construction in Waterbrooke and Hartwood Landing typically starts near $385,000, while lakefront and custom homes on the Clermont Chain of Lakes often exceed $750,000.

My top picks depend on your goals. Olympia and Waterbrooke offer resort-style amenities and rank among the most sought-after master-planned communities. Legends attracts golfers with its Jack Nicklaus-designed course. Hartwood Landing and Kings Ridge are excellent for families, and Kings Ridge caters specifically to the 55-plus market with over 20 amenities.

Lake County property taxes in Clermont run roughly 1.0 to 1.2 percent of assessed value annually, which is competitive for Central Florida. HOA fees vary widely: expect $75 to $150 per month in standard subdivisions like Hartwood Landing, $200 to $350 in amenity-rich communities like Olympia, and $400-plus in gated golf communities like Legends. Always confirm CDD fees separately.

The drive from Clermont to downtown Orlando is about 22 miles and takes 30 to 40 minutes via the FL-429 toll road or US-27. Walt Disney World is roughly 20 miles south, a 25 to 30-minute drive via US-27 and I-4. Rush-hour traffic can add 15 minutes each way, so I always recommend timing a test drive before buying.

Yes, if you're planning to stay 3-plus years. Inventory in Clermont has climbed to roughly 4 months of supply in 2026, giving buyers more negotiating room than we saw in 2021 and 2022. Interest rates in the mid 6 percent range mean payments are higher, but sellers are now covering closing costs on about 30 percent of my recent Clermont deals.
