Approximate appreciation achieved by early Lake Nona buyers who held 10+ years
The Wellness Way corridor is the most significant planned development in Central Florida since Lake Nona — and investors who entered Lake Nona in 2010 made generational returns. This 15,000+ acre corridor in southeast Clermont/Lake County is transforming from orange groves into a master-planned innovation hub. The Lake-Orange Expressway, now open, connects the corridor directly to Disney and Horizon West — eliminating the perception of distance that has kept Wellness Way underpriced relative to its fundamentals.
Development timelines subject to change. Verify current zoning, builder availability, and infrastructure status before any investment decision.
The Lake Nona Parallel
Lake Nona 2010: 15,000 acres in southeast Orlando · UCF Medical School under construction · $280K–$380K entry · “Too far” perception · Infrastructure under way.
Wellness Way 2026: 15,000+ acres in southeast Clermont · Olympus $1.5B under construction · $350K–$600K entry · “Too far from Disney” perception · $700M Lake-Orange Expressway now open.
Lake Nona 2024 median: $580K+. Early Lake Nona buyers at $280K–$380K achieved 2–2.5x appreciation over 10+ years.

The buyer who closes at Lakehaven Estates in Phase 1 before the expressway is complete is capturing the infrastructure equity that the next buyer will pay for. The expressway is the inflection point — before it opens, you're buying before the market reprices for proximity to Disney.

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.
What builders are active in Wellness Way FL?
Active builders in the Wellness Way/Olympus corridor include: Del Webb (Lakehaven), Taylor Morrison (Esplanade at McKinnon Groves), David Weekley Homes, Pulte Homes, GT USA, Richland Communities, and Lennar.

Do I need a buyer's agent for new construction in Wellness Way?

We provide independent contract review, upgrade selection guidance, school district verification, and CDD/HOA cost analysis at no cost to you. Ryan Brown · FL BK3626873.
"The introduction Own Luxury Homes® makes is to a specialist with documented closing history in your specific market — not the county, not the metro, the submarket you're actually selling or buying in. That's the standard we verify before your name goes anywhere."
