Frequently Asked Questions
What is the Wellness Way corridor in Clermont FL?
Wellness Way is a 15,000+ acre planned mixed-use development corridor in Clermont, Lake County FL, anchored by the future Lake Erie College of Osteopathic Medicine (LECOM) health campus and several new master-planned residential communities. The corridor runs along the Olympus development near US-27 and FL-50, approximately 20-25 minutes from Disney World and 30-35 minutes from the I-4 corridor. Communities in the corridor include Del Webb Lakehaven, Esplanade at McKinnon Groves, Hickory Groves, Panther Run, Integra Heights, Lakehaven Estates, Parkside Trails, Reflections at Olympus, and Wellness Ridge. Ryan Brown · FL BK3626873.
Is Wellness Way a good place to buy in 2026?
Wellness Way and the Clermont/Olympus corridor offer new construction in a market that is 20-25 minutes from Disney World, has significant infrastructure investment underway (Olympus development, US-27 widening, new Lake County schools), and has lower price points than comparable Orlando/Orange County communities. Lake County has no CDD in most Wellness Way communities (check with OLH for each specific community), which reduces monthly cost of ownership. Ryan Brown · FL BK3626873 covers all active Wellness Way builders.
