Winter Garden
One of the incorporated urban areas in Orange County serviced by Bahia Realty Group of Orlando is Winter Garden. In spite of the name, which suggests bare branches and bare earth waiting for the quickening of spring sunshine, Winter Garden is an area of great growth, with housing projects being continually developed.
Located 14 miles to the west of downtown Orlando, Winter Garden is nicknamed “the land of pleasant living.” And with the justly famous Orange County climate and attractions, it well deserves this name. Warm and humid, its subtropical climate is much balmier than the name suggests. Probably, the city got its name because it was the winter retreat to warmer climes for the wealthy in days gone by.
Winter Garden was originally founded in 1857 by W.C. Roper, who wanted a place for his wife and ten children to live. Horticulture provided the initial wealth for Winter Garden, with the scent of hundreds of orange blossoms scenting the air. But tourism was also growing as a means of Winter Garden’s economic success, and this has continued to this day. Winter Garden is proud of its heritage and has preserved much of its history in the Winter Garden Heritage Museum and elsewhere.
Winter Garden has undergone much redevelopment recently with the aim of preserving the charm and easy-going lifestyle of the area but ensuring that its citizens are well serviced with up-to-date transport systems, utilities and other conveniences of modern life.
