apartment homes off of 27 in Clermont 34711 (Orlando, Winter Garden: section 8, apartment complex, rental)

[nicolecb]

Hey Guys, moving to Clermont, FL for October 1st. We will be renting an apartment off of 27 in the 34714. I noticed throughout the threads a lot of people said to stay within the 34711 zip code. Not sure if anyone is familiar with why. we visited this weekend and it was nice. We continued up 27 and i loved the rolling hills. We went over to Winter Garden and shopped at a large plaza (with Marshalls, Target, Lowes, etc.) fairly new looking. Any objections to the 34714 area? We're early 20's moving from suburban Mass (used to A LOT of vegetation, back roads, and all nice homes with little to no apartment complexes).

Also, while I have you, hows the night life? Is Clermont mostly families, or are there any younger crowds? Not talking like clubbing or anything, we just like to go to a good sports bar on the weekend, any you know of that are usually busy?

Any info would be awesome. I know this will all come with time just living there.
Thanks

34714 is southern and very transient. Most if not all of the housing is zoned for short term rental, and there are two apartment complexes to be avoided at all costs in that area. Generally speaking 34711 is more settled with much nicer housing and short term rental is not allowed within the city limits. The apartments are overall upscale or even luxury.

There is an Irish Pub near the intersection of 192 that seems to be busy most of the time. Up in 34711 there is a wine bar, the Q Room, Gators, World of Beer, The Vue, Grafitti Junction, and more.

34714 has two apartment communities well worth considering. Cagan Crossing and The Carrington at Four Corners. Now Ashton Chase has alot of what one post called "hold Over" section 8 residents (tax credit is the appropriate term. Section 8 is hard to find and very few Lake County apartments even accept Section 8.) The church looked to help a family with it. There were only two and they weren't any of these mentioned. I know since I've been in the area awhile Ashton Chase turned regular apartments - not tax credit but they are the ones with hold over residents. I believe the post was accuarate if they meant Ashton used to be Sol somethin. The Carrington at Four Corners is HIGHLY populated with friends of mine that used to live in Cagan's Crossing and Alta Corners. Both of those previous places were considerably higher rents and much newer. But they really love that Carrington Place sorry -The Carrington at Four Corners. The bus stop is right on the corner too. One of the ladies doesn't drive and has her family to help but she wanted to make sure she could catch a bus close by before she moved there. She says they are very strict about noise and who moves in. Her son came to pick her up and she got a notice cuz his car radio was too loud. Then her son wanted to move in and was not accepted. I"ve been reading in the paper too and they seem to have a pretty nice thing going on there. It's not in the 34711 but they have great schools new shopping growing around them. I was going over quite a bit to visit 2 people that lived there. One night I went to some community party ? they even had singers. I can't tell you how surprised I was. And very impressed by how pleasant everyone was- it was a friendly and comfortable environment. Hard to explain but you know it when you feel it. I don't know who worked there and who was just living there but everyone really was so darn nice. I was looking for a place for my son to move with his family and my friends highly recommended it. So, he recently moved in and they really can't say enough about it. Another friend of mine is looking for a place now and I was just checking to see if anything else has come on the horizon that I hadn't found yet. I don't see anything like my son Shawn found and he works at Disney so he said Cagan or The Carrington but The Carrington had a good thing for Disney people. So we'll look there and see if they have anything. Shawn And Cara like it there a lot.

First post praising an iffy at best apartment complex with a lot of details for someone who doesn't live there? Which employee are you?
