Central Florida has more named lakes than virtually any comparably-sized region in the US — Orange County alone has 1,000+ lakes. The most prestigious waterfront real estate is concentrated around the Butler Chain of Lakes in Windermere — 13 interconnected lakes forming a protected lakefront community where home prices range from $800K to $20M+. The Butler Chain includes Lake Butler, Lake Down, Lake Bessie, Lake Blanche, and others — connected by natural waterways and artificial cuts.
Lake Nona Golf and Country Club community is among Orlando's most exclusive residential enclaves — a private 18-hole golf club with lakefront estate homes. Lake Brantley in Seminole County, Lake Ivanhoe in College Park (downtown Orlando adjacency), and the Lake Eustis corridor in Lake County all have active lakefront home markets. The lakes in central Florida for fishing — including Lake Apopka, Lake Toho, and the Harris Chain — also have residential communities on their shores.
