"Windermere has become very well known among Brazilians in recent years and it still appeals. The location has a charm due to the lakes that surround the area, good schools and an atmosphere that brings a certain status are still big draws. We still find developments under construction and the residents are very proud to have Windermere as their home." - Andrea Pointon.
For luxury living at its finest, look no further than the town of Windermere. Unspoiled sandy-bottomed lakes surround this small West Orange community. The boating enthusiast will delight in the canal system that connects 13 lakes known as the Butler Lake of Chains.
Windermere was named after Dr. Stanley Scott, whose father bought 160 acres in this picturesque location in 1885. Dr. Scott built his house on the shore of Lake Butler, and it is believed that he named this town after the famous Lake Windermere in England.
Today, more than 2,300 people inhabit the town of Windermere, but the town's focus is on preserving its natural history and strong community atmosphere. In fact, many of the town's streets remain unpaved to continue its commitment to maintaining the unspoiled nature of the Chain of Lakes. Windermere has been named a "Tree City USA" for its commitment to a natural environment for 10 consecutive years.
