Clermont is one of the most surprising and fast-growing suburbs for people relocating near Disney World. Known for its rolling hills, scenic lakes, and peaceful suburban charm, Clermont attracts buyers who want a little more space, a little more quiet and a lot more natural beauty… all while staying within reach of the parks.
But the question relocating buyers always ask is:
“Is Clermont close enough to Disney World for the lifestyle we want?”
This guide breaks down what locals experience daily so you can decide whether Clermont fits your version of the Disney Bubble lifestyle.
🌅 Why Clermont Appeals to Disney-Area Buyers
Clermont stands out in Central Florida because it feels different from the typical flat Florida landscape.
You’ll find:
- Rolling hills (rare for Florida)
- Wide or oversized lots
- Stunning lake views
- Peaceful residential neighborhoods
- Newer construction in many areas
- A more relaxed lifestyle
- A strong sense of community
- A growing restaurant and retail scene
It’s ideal for buyers looking for more breathing room while still having convenient access to major Orlando destinations.
🏰 Access to Disney World From Clermont
Clermont’s proximity to Disney varies based on which part of Clermont you live in.
There’s a difference between:
- South Clermont (closest to Disney)
- Central Clermont (more suburban and scenic)
- North Clermont (farther away but often more spacious and quiet)
Here’s how locals describe the commuting feel:
Magic Kingdom
Residents in South Clermont in particular describe access to this side of Disney property as predictable once you know the rhythms.
EPCOT
EPCOT access feels straightforward along major roads that locals get comfortable with quickly.
Hollywood Studios
Clermont residents generally experience a consistent drive pattern along established connectors.
Animal Kingdom
This can feel like one of the smoother drives depending on your location in Clermont because of its alignment with major west-side routes.
Again:
No exact times — just the driving experience people report once they live here.
🌳 Why Clermont Commutes Feel Manageable for Many Residents
Several factors help Clermont residents feel connected to the parks even though it’s a bit farther out than neighborhoods like Horizon West or Windermere.
✔ Established major roads
People learn the best connectors quickly.
✔ Predictable traffic patterns
Most commuters find a routine that works and stick with it.
✔ Residential roads, not tourist corridors
Once you’re out of your neighborhood, traffic flow becomes fairly steady.
✔ Locals often plan their park visits around timing
Weeknights
Early mornings
Post-dinner strolls
The patterns become easy once you’re here.
🏡 What Buyers Love About Clermont Beyond Disney Proximity

- Scenic lake views
- A stronger connection to nature
- A quieter lifestyle
- Beautiful neighborhoods with mature landscaping
- Local restaurants and breweries
- A small-town feel with growing amenities
It’s a suburb where you can stretch out, breathe deeper and still make it to Disney whenever you want.
💛 Who Clermont Fits Best
Clermont is an excellent match if you want:
- Space
- Scenic views
- A calm, peaceful environment

- Access to lakes and outdoor activities
It’s a great fit for:

🧭 Who Might Prefer a Different Suburb
You might lean toward another area if you want:
✔ Faster Disney access
Horizon West, Windermere or Winter Garden offer more direct proximity.

Winter Garden or Celebration are better matches.
✔ An upscale, luxury-oriented vibe
Windermere leads in that category.

Dr. Phillips is ideal for convenience.
