About
Life in Clermont
Median household income sits around $82k and median home values are in the $418k range, making it more affordable than central Orlando while still feeling like a real suburban area rather than a small town. Job prospects are reasonable with unemployment around 4.3%, though most employment pulls toward Orlando, so expect a commute of about 33 minutes if you're working there. The trade-off is that you're getting more space and a quieter community feel for what you'd pay closer to the city, though traffic and sprawl come with the territory.
