Overview
Lakeview Preserve is a Mattamy Homes master-planned community on Clermont's western edge, situated just off US-192 and within two miles of Florida Turnpike Exit 272. Construction began in 2016 and the community has grown into one of the more complete new-build neighborhoods in Lake County, offering both single-family homes and townhomes within the same amenity-rich setting. The terrain reflects classic Clermont geography — gently rolling land with tree canopy, giving the streetscape more visual depth than most flat Central Florida subdivisions. The ZIP code (34714) places residents in the southwest Clermont corridor, with straightforward access to SR-50 for daily errands and I-4 via the Turnpike for Orlando commuters.
Amenities & Community Life
The resort-style amenity center anchors community life with a swimming pool, covered pavilion, clubhouse, and a well-equipped playground designed for younger families. Walking and biking trails wind through the community and connect to surrounding green space, capitalizing on Clermont's reputation as one of Central Florida's premier cycling destinations — the South Lake Trail system is accessible nearby. The Clermont Waterfront Park, Chain of Lakes, and Clermont National Golf Course are all within a short drive. Residents frequently use the trail network for morning runs, evening dog walks, and weekend cycling, making the outdoors a genuine daily amenity rather than a marketing amenity.
Homes & Pricing
Mattamy builds both single-family homes and townhomes in Lakeview Preserve, which is relatively rare for a single master-planned community in this price range. Single-family homes range from the low $390Ks to around $560K and typically offer 3–5 bedrooms, 2-car garages, and open-concept living areas. Townhomes run $310K–$390K and appeal to first-time buyers, downsizers, and investors looking for a lower-maintenance Lake County foothold. Construction quality is consistent with Mattamy's national standards — fiber-cement exteriors, energy-efficient mechanicals, and smart-home pre-wiring are common package inclusions. Resale inventory exists alongside new phases, giving buyers the choice between move-in-ready and new construction on the same streets.
Schools
Lakeview Preserve is served by Lake County Schools, the county's public school system. Elementary school is typically Lost Lake Elementary, a newer school west of downtown Clermont. Middle school is Windy Hill Middle School, and the high school is East Ridge High, one of Lake County's newer high schools located on the east side of Clermont near US-27. East Ridge opened in 2009 and draws from the growing south and west Clermont population. Lake County Schools has steadily expanded capacity to keep pace with the county's strong population growth. Always confirm specific school assignments through the Lake County Schools zone locator, as boundaries can shift with new school openings.
Location & Commute
Lakeview Preserve sits about a mile from Florida Turnpike Exit 272 at US-192, making it one of the more commuter-efficient addresses in Lake County for Orlando-bound workers. The Turnpike puts downtown Orlando roughly 35–45 minutes away and the Disney/Universal corridor 25–30 minutes east depending on traffic. SR-50 (West Colonial Drive) is accessible within about 10 minutes north, offering a second east-west corridor and connection to Winter Garden and the 429 toll road. Locally, the US-192 commercial corridor supplies daily needs — groceries, pharmacy, restaurants, and big-box retail — without requiring a Turnpike trip. South Lake Hospital (AdventHealth) in Clermont is roughly 10–12 minutes north on US-27.
Why Buyers Choose Lakeview Preserve
The combination of townhome and single-family product under one amenity umbrella gives Lakeview Preserve appeal across a wide buyer profile — young families stepping up from a townhome, relocating professionals, and move-up buyers from Orange County who want more land and newer construction without dramatically increasing their budget. The Turnpike proximity is a genuine differentiator: most Clermont communities require a 10–15 minute surface-road drive just to reach a Turnpike entrance. Lakeview Preserve's western location also means buyers avoid the worst of Clermont's US-27 and SR-50 afternoon congestion. The price floor in the townhome product remains one of the more accessible entry points for new construction in Lake County.
