Winter Garden


Winter Garden blends small-town main-street energy with one of Central Florida’s fastest-growing suburban districts. On Plant Street, you get a true downtown: Plant Street Market/Crooked Can, a bustling Farmers Market, coffee and bakeries, boutique retail, and an easygoing, golf-cart-friendly vibe. The West Orange Trail cuts directly through downtown, so riders and runners from neighborhoods like Oakland Park roll straight into the action. Head south and you reach Horizon West/Hamlin, where targeted retail and entertainment continue to fill in around SR-429, putting daily essentials close to new-construction communities. Housing spans updated mid-century cottages and townhomes near Plant Street, production builds across Horizon West villages, and custom/lakefront options—including seven-figure properties—featured in our videos.

Winter Garden Real Estate FAQs

Is Downtown Winter Garden truly walkable, and what’s there?

Yes. Plant Street anchors a designated historic downtown with shops, dining, weekly events, museums, and a popular farmers market.

Can I drive a golf cart downtown? What are the rules?

Golf carts are allowed only on streets the City designates for cart use. To qualify as a golf cart, the vehicle must not be capable of exceeding 20 mph, and carts may not operate on roads signed over 25 mph. Always confirm the latest City guidance and maps.

The paved trail runs directly through downtown; the Winter Garden Station trailhead at 455 E. Plant St. offers parking and facilities. Trail hours are generally sunrise to sunset.

Which public schools serve my address?

Attendance is address-based. Use Orange County Public Schools’ “Find My School” tool and the current attendance boundary maps to confirm your zoned schools.

Are short-term rentals (Airbnb/VRBO) allowed?

It depends on zoning and approvals. Verify with Winter Garden Planning & Zoning before listing; the City provides FAQs and direct contacts.
