Florida Real Estate, Tourism and Immigration News

The region that once had the thousands of acres of Citrus Groves and then the spin off from the Space program is looking forward beyond its current gold pot: Tourism.

The real dynamo of the region is tourism, with fantastic weather year round and great attractions it is no wonder people want to visit here, however what if that were to change? All the thousands of low paid jobs would vanish and then what would be left?

New investments in fields such as healthcare and life-science lab work could be an answer (developments around Lake Nona for instance) however millions of dollars of capital investment are required.

However, we now have the new sporting arena at UCF and a possible commuter rail service, so the money is coming…we shall just have to wait and see what else occurs!

A 342,000 Sq. feet retailing center in Clermont will give south Lake County its first movie theatre, expected to be 16 screens this theatre will give Clermont and Minneola Residents a movie screen that is more accessible than previously, where they would have to travel to the West Oaks Mall some 25 minutes away on Hwy 50.

New Home developments are springing up in the area, particularly around the Hartwood Marsh Area. This area is further away from the Disney parks than most, but offers a different pace of life, offering a small community feel yet with the amenities of a larger town. Clermont is that largest city in Lake County and is one of the fastest growing areas in the USA, with its famous chain of lakes and rolling hills it offers a true ‘alternative’ Florida.
