Situated 13 miles southwest of Orlando and bordered by Lake Tibet, Bay Hill offers residents access to prime Central Florida living. “Bay Hill is a fantastic upscale golf community that is nestled right between Disney World and Universal Orlando,” says David Myers, broker associate at Ziro Realty, who lives in the nearby Windermere area. “Residents enjoy quick access to the Butler Chain of Lakes.”
The Butler Chain of Lakes is composed of thirteen (13) lakes of varying sizes.
An authentic American Golf Experience is at Arnold Palmer Bay Hill Club & Lodge.

From ranch homes to estates
Homes range from ranch-style to more grandeur estates on the Butler Chain of Lakes. Because the majority of these houses were built in the 1970s and 1980s, residents live in a community where each home has a unique charm. Homeowners in this area also enjoy the privilege of living on larger lots that typically range from a half-acre to several acres. “Residents benefit from quick access to the Butler Chain of Lakes,” Meyers says. According to him, homes built closer to the Butler Chain of Lakes usually start at $1 million. Larger homes near the water can range in price from $1 million to over $3 million. Homes perched further away from the lakes can range from $500,000 to $800,000.
Bay Hill has a private gated community of more luxurious Estate style homes.

Amenities galore with golfing and water
The Butler Chain of Lakes comprises 13 lakes and canals spanning 5,000 acres. Locals have plenty of options for enjoying the water, whether fishing from shore, enjoying a scenic boat ride, or bumping up the adrenaline with water sports like wakeboarding and water skiing. Avid golfers can enjoy the neighborhood's world-renowned Arnold Palmer’s Bay Hill Club and Lodge. This challenging 18-hole championship golf course makes for an exciting day on the green. Continuing the legacy of its namesake golf legend, the Bay Hill Club hosts the annual Arnold Palmer Invitational each March. Here, the best professional golfers compete for the coveted champion title, and residents come out to enjoy a weekend of golf and celebrity. Members can dock their boats at the marina, stay at the 70-room Lodge, play tennis, or relax and unwind at the spa.
For only $5, you can head out on the waters of Windermere via the boat ramp at R.D. Keene Park.
