About the area...
Location, natural beauty, tropical climate and small-town atmosphere offer unique venues for your family, home or business. Known as the “Center of Good Living,” Ocoee is an example of the idea that growth and history can be successfully blended. The 100-year-old Ocoee Christian Church and Withers-Maguire House and Museum preserve the city’s past, while the expansion of businesses including Manheim Orlando, Health Central, West Oaks Mall and Sysco Foods ensure its future. The 30,000 people who call Ocoee home have many amenities close at hand including shopping, restaurants, and movie theaters. Starke Lake offers many water sports opportunities including fishing, water skiing, and tubing. Ocoee also has an annual Founders’ Day Festival that boasts live music, rides, food, and a fishing tournament. A state-of-the-art aquatic center is available for residents to enjoy a cool swim. Lovely parks throughout Ocoee give residents and visitors many chances to enjoy this picturesque area.
On any given day, a stroll down historic Plant Street in Winter Garden will uncover a slice of small-town life at its best. In the heart of this quaint main street community, you can see the successful efforts of redevelopment. Antique shops, ice cream parlors and cafes line the downtown of this dynamic community; the crown jewel being a brand new city hall with its 1920’s architecture. The West Orange Trail provides families and the community a place to ride bikes or jog through the downtown area or take in the beautiful natural scenery that surrounds Winter Garden. Once known primarily for its extensive citrus industries, Winter Garden is beginning to branch out to attract other businesses such as computer and investment companies. While residents of Winter Garden are afforded the opportunities in nearby Orlando for entertainment, there are many reasons, such as local events, superb recreational facilities, and the recently refurbished Garden Theatre for them to stay right at home. Winter Garden is indeed “A City With A Future…..Preserving Its Past.”
Ocoee and Winter Garden offer a wide range of housing choices. Whether you are looking for a large lakefront home, newer planned community with amenities or smaller townhome or condominium, you will find it here in west Orange County. Both areas are easily accessible thanks to the nearby Florida Turnpike, East-West Expressway and new Western Expressway. The city of Orlando, Orlando International Airport and all the theme parks including Walt Disney World, Universal Studios and Sea World are just a short commute away.
