Willows At Lake Rhea is a small, established pocket of Windermere where homes sit on generous lots and neighbors trade proximity to the theme parks for a genuinely residential pace. You're roughly 24 minutes from Universal Orlando, 35 from Walt Disney World, and 29 from downtown — close enough for work and play, far enough to feel removed from it. The setting puts you near some of the area's most recognizable addresses, including Keenes Pointe and Isleworth, without the price of guard-gated exclusivity.
This is a thin, slow-moving market — a feature of a neighborhood this size, not a warning. Just two homes are active right now, with a median list price of $1,067,500 and a median of 107 days on market, so buyers have room to think and negotiate. Over the past year only three homes sold, at a median of $1,175,000 and about 97% of asking, which tells you sellers here hold firm and inventory turns over rarely. If nothing here fits, nearby Summerport and Lakeside Village offer more volume at a range of price points.
Willows At Lake Rhea is a community in Windermere, Florida.
