Can I Live Near Nature and Still Be Close to the City?

Yes — especially in Central Florida, where natural landscapes and urban access go hand in hand.
Nature-Adjacent Communities
From Clermont’s rolling hills to the conservation areas around Mount Dora, you’ll find many neighborhoods that back up to greenbelts, lakes, and preserves — all while remaining within 30–45 minutes of Orlando’s downtown, major employers, and airports.
Great examples include:
-
Clearwater Reserve (Eustis) — surrounded by wooded land and wildlife
-
Arrowhead Estates (Clermont) — near Lake Louisa State Park
-
Lake Jem Farms — where rural charm meets easy access to SR-46 and 429
City Access Without the Sprawl
The 429 Expressway and expanded road networks have made it easier than ever to live outside the city and still reach downtown Orlando, Lake Nona, or Winter Garden in under an hour.
Recreational Access
You’re never far from:
-
Spring-fed lakes and rivers (like Wekiva, Dora, or Harris Chain)
-
State parks with hiking and biking trails
-
Fishing docks, golf courses, and equestrian paths
Remote Work Advantage
If you’re working remotely or commuting just a few times per week, you can prioritize lifestyle and nature over daily drive-time — and Central Florida gives you that option.
I can help you find properties that balance space, scenery, and accessibility — without giving up convenience.
