Windermere
For luxury living at its best, look no further than real estate in the Town of Windermere. This quaint West Orange community is surrounded by pristine sand bottom lakes. Lake Butler (the largest) on the west, Lake Down on the east and Lake Bessie on the southeast make waterfront living in Windermere an experience to cherish. The boating enthusiast will revel in the system of canals that connect eight lakes known as the Butler Chain of Lakes. Windermere has come a long way since 1885 when Dr Stanley Scott, an English man and world traveler, purchased 160 acres of real estate in this picturesque location, built his home on the west shore of Lake Butler and bestowed the name of "Windermere"; many believe after the famous Lake Windermere in England. Soon other settlers, many of them English, began to build houses in this 'American haven' and by 1887, when the town plat was officially recorded, only 120 people lived in Windermere. The 1920 census gave Windermere a population count of 182.
Today 1,700 people inhabit the Town of Windermere. The community, however, has not based success on how rapidly it grows, but by how natural and pleasant a community it is to reside in. Its quality of life is its most distinguishing feature. In fact, most town streets remain unpaved in deference to their commitment to retain the pristine nature of the chain of lakes.
Windermere was recently named "Tree City U.S.A." for its commitment to a  natural environment. However, one can certainly enjoy any number of recreational activities including tennis, boating, swimming, basketball, and volleyball. Windermere is also known for its quality schools. On the weekends, children can catch up on their reading at the Franklin W. Chase Memorial Library.
Presently, Windermere is a quaint architectural mixture of real estate from cabins to luxury estate homes. Much of Windermere's "downtown" area is historically preserved, and well worth a visit. Overlooking Lake Butler is the renowned Isleworth community which counts among its residents many sport and entertainment celebrities.
