Just 14 miles west of downtown Orlando, historic Winter Garden offers a collection of restaurants, shops, cafes, museums and a performing arts venue. This neighborhood is registered with The National Registry of Historic Places and boasts an old-Florida lifestyle that many seek out.

A favorite for many residents and guests of Winter Garden is the open-air shopping center with a wide array of chain shops and restaurants and the popular weekly farmers market. This neighborhood is situated along the award-winning West Orange Trail, a 22-mile multi-use trail for walking, biking, and picnicking, and is part of the 250-mile Coast-to-Coast Connector Trail that runs across the state of Florida.

The paved trail passes through downtown Oakland, Winter Garden and Apopka with most of its length built on old railroad alignments.

Things to do on the trail:

• cycling

• walking

• hiking

• jogging

• skateboarding

• inline skating

One of our favorite spots to visit when in Winter Garden is the Plant Street Market. It’s a local community artisan market featuring nearly 20 vendors offering natural, organic, and handmade products all inside the building. From farm fresh products to handmade trinkets this is a family and pet-friendly place perfect for all.

If you are looking to relocate to Central Florida, Winter Garden may just be the perfect fit.
