About Clermont, Florida

Clermont rises over the Clermont Chain of Lakes in Lake County, its skyline marked by the historic Citrus Tower — a leftover from the citrus-grove era that gave the town its rolling terrain.

Today it's one of the region's favorite family and athlete destinations, known for its national-caliber triathlon and training scene, lakefront waterfront park, and a fast-growing corridor of new communities along US-27 and Highway 50.

The Clermont Real Estate Market

Clermont splits between established lake-area neighborhoods with mature trees and views, and newer communities stretching south along US-27 toward the Disney side. Value remains strong relative to Orange County, and the four-corners area near the parks adds vacation-rental dynamics at the county line. We'll keep the two markets straight for you.

Schools in Clermont
