    Warm and friendly town! High-class communities and great people. Windermere, FL is one of the wealthiest communities in Florida. As a result, the safety ratings are very high. Great schools (public and private). Definitely a great place to consider raising a family.

    It's so good and very safe. Where I live is one of the greatest neighborhoods in the city to live in; however it does have its draw backs. Importantly it has nearly everything a resident might want, beautiful picturesque scenery, proximity to shopping, and many of the cultural centers. Nevertheless the roads can be some of the most congested in town, and the streets are not safe to walk late at night.
    Windermere caters to almost every kind of person. From world-class restaurants to Disney World, Windermere is in the heart of entertainment. With easy access to nightlife, kid-friendly activities, and top rated schools, Windermere is the perfect suburb for the modern family.
