Independence

"The magic of Walt Disney World and the vibrant spirit of Orlando extend into the Winter Garden's master-planned community, Independence. This community's prime location is just one reason why it is highly desired. Other reasons include the beautiful scenery, welcoming community and the year-round activities that appeal to everyone. If you want to escape reality and jump into a world of fantasy, The Walt Disney World Resort is only 37 minutes away from Winter Garden! Just 25 minutes away in Orlando are other theme parks to explore like Universal Orlando Resort or SeaWorld Orlando. There is much more to Orlando than just theme parks. Orlando is home to the Magic NBA basketball team and other avenues of entertainment. If you prefer sit-down entertainment, you could go see shows like Cirque de Soleil and the Blue Man Group. Or if you prefer getting in on the action there are many zip line adventures you could choose from! The great city of Orlando is action-packed and full of adventure, but Winter Garden has just as many opportunities right outside your front door. This quaint town has a huge history that you can explore by visiting the Downtown District. Just walking down the streets you will soak up the rich history, or you could embrace it by seeing a theatre, ballet, orchestra or musical performance conducted at the Garden Theater. Also, you can visit the Heritage Museum or the Central Florida Railroad Museum to learn how this picturesque town developed. You are bound to come across part of the West Orange Trail system that winds through the center of town. People love to walk, hike or bike along this nature path. There are many parks with playgrounds, grills, picnic areas, tennis, volleyball and basketball courts and fishing areas for you to relish in the stunning Florida nature. For the people who love to shop, Winter Garden Village is just for you!"
