About College Park Neighborhood
College Park is located in the heart of Clermont, positioned along North Hancock Road and Oakley Seaver Drive. This gated community was carefully developed by Banyan Homes from 2002 through 2005, creating an intimate neighborhood of exactly 253 single-family residences. The development was thoughtfully planned to take advantage of Clermont's characteristic rolling hills and natural beauty, with tree-lined streets that create an inviting, established atmosphere despite being a relatively newer community.
The homes in College Park range from 1,634 to 2,764 square feet of living space, offering 3-4 bedrooms and 2-3 bathrooms. These well-designed residences feature modern amenities including vaulted ceilings, large windows that flood rooms with natural light, and comfortable owner's suites complete with tray ceilings and spa-like bathrooms. The variety of floor plans ensures that buyers can find a home that fits their specific needs, whether they're first-time homebuyers, growing families, or professionals seeking convenience to local educational institutions.
The neighborhood's gated entrance provides an additional layer of security and peace of mind for residents, while still maintaining a friendly, welcoming community atmosphere. College Park's location offers a perfect balance—you're close enough to major amenities and attractions to enjoy convenience, yet far enough to appreciate a quiet, residential setting. The proximity to Lake Sumter State College makes this community particularly attractive to educators, staff, and students seeking a short commute.
College Park residents benefit from Clermont's reputation as the "Choice of Champions," with easy access to world-class training facilities at the National Training Center, the pristine waters of the Clermont Chain of Lakes, and the scenic outdoor recreation at Lake Louisa State Park. The community's central location means you're never far from shopping at Clermont Landing or Clermont Town Center, dining in Historic Downtown Clermont, or enjoying waterfront activities at Clermont Waterfront Park.

College Park HOA & Community Information
College Park is governed by the College Park of Clermont Homeowners Association, established in August 2001. The HOA maintains the community's gated entrance, common areas, streets, and recreational facilities, ensuring the neighborhood remains attractive and well-maintained. Membership in the HOA is mandatory for all homeowners, with fees collected to cover various community services and amenities.
One significant advantage of College Park is that it was developed before the era of Community Development Districts (CDDs). This means College Park residents do not pay CDD fees, which can add thousands of dollars annually to housing costs in newer communities. This represents substantial savings over the life of homeownership and is a key financial benefit that makes College Park an attractive option compared to many newer developments in the Clermont area.
