About Palisades Neighborhood

Palisades is a well-established golf course community located on the scenic north side of Lake Minneola in Clermont. Developed by Lennar Homes starting in the early 1990s, this distinctive neighborhood is centered around the Palisades Country Club, an 18-hole championship golf course designed by renowned architect Joe Lee. Built in 1990, the course was recognized by Golf Digest as a "4 Star Award Winner Places to Play" and features rolling terrain, strategic challenges, and beautiful lake and golf course views throughout the community.

The neighborhood offers a variety of single-family homes ranging from 1,500 to 4,000 square feet with flexible floor plans accommodating two to seven bedrooms. Most homes sit on quarter-acre lots (approximately 10,890 square feet), providing generous space for outdoor living, landscaping, and private pools. The community features a mix of property types including sought-after golf course frontage lots with direct fairway views, picturesque lakeview properties overlooking the expansive 1,907-acre Lake Minneola, and interior lots offering privacy and value.

One of Palisades' most distinctive features is its topography. Set on Clermont's characteristic rolling hills, the neighborhood offers dramatic elevation changes and stunning panoramic views—a rarity in Central Florida. The mature landscaping, tree-lined streets, and established character create a sense of permanence and natural beauty that newer communities cannot replicate. The location on Lake Minneola's north shore provides easy access to world-class fishing, boating, and water sports on one of the Clermont Chain of Lakes.

Palisades is located within the city limits of Clermont, offering convenient access to shopping along Highway 27, historic downtown Clermont, medical facilities including Orlando Health South Lake Hospital, and outdoor attractions like the Clermont Waterfront Park. The Florida Turnpike is easily accessible for commuters, and the neighborhood's proximity to the National Training Center and South Lake Trail makes it ideal for athletes and active families.

Palisades HOA & CDD Information

Palisades is a homeowners association community that maintains common areas, entrance features, and neighborhood standards to preserve property values and the community's attractive appearance. The HOA manages the golf course property and facilities, though golf course operations and membership are handled separately through the Palisades Country Club.

As an established community developed in the 1990s, Palisades does not have Community Development District (CDD) fees. This represents significant savings compared to newer communities in the Clermont area that often impose CDD assessments of $1,500 to $3,000 or more annually for 20-30 years to fund infrastructure development.
