"Among the lakes" is the phrase that the town of Windermere has chosen for its description, and aptly so.  Almost completely surrounded by water, Windermere is a lovely small town that will always be limited in population growth by available land.  Lake Butler is the largest body of water in the region, which is often referred to as the "Butler chain of lakes."  Situated in southeast Orange County, the residential villages and homes throughout the lake area are as beautiful as the backdrop of scenery they enjoy.  Some multi-million dollar lakefront mansions combine with more modest but often luxurious homes in a variety of architectural styles.  The Islesworth Golf & Country Club in Windermere rivals the lush fairways of highly acclaimed Bay Hill for sheer bayside splendor.  Also located in this small town is a fully accredited independent school for students in pre-kindergarten through eighth grade called Buena Vista Academy.  While the residents of Windermere can enjoy the exclusive resort setting and serenity of their community, the first-rate cultural, educational, and healthcare advantages of Orlando remain close to home.
