Isn't one of the entrances to Keene's Pointe on 535 in what you are you referring to as "Winder near"? Is that the area you are referring to? It seems like I pass by that subdivision all the time and there are cars lined up waiting to get through the gate.
is anything north of 50 basically undesirable? or is it so far from Disney that it doesn't matter?

I just read through this entire thread- so helpful! We are moving down for DH's job by June, and have been down to try to find a house. We are focusing on Keene's Pointe in Windermere, but this thread makes me want to check out Winter Garden area! We did look in Winder"near" areas but it was not our style. DH is commuting to Celebration.
My parents lived in Keene's Pointe for a while. Nice neighborhood but for the $ you may as well look at Celebration. Keene's Pointe has so many rules, restrictions, and hidden costs! (Ie nobody is allowed to cut their own lawn. You have to use a specific lawn service & have it cut on certain days according to a schedule whether it really needs it or not & the service they require you to use is $$$.) Just something to keep in mind. They couldn't stand all the ridiculous rules & restrictions & eventually moved to a neighborhood down the road that they love & allows them to truly own their own property vs dealing with all the Keenes Pointe restrictions & costs. The homeowner's fee was ridiculously high too. I'm honestly glad they moved too. Even though I am their daughter & live about 20 min away I was not allowed to have a gate key. I had to go through the guest entrance & was given the 3rd degree at the guard shack every single time even though I had the same last name, was on the visitor's list, & visited frequently. Yes I suppose it is very safe but I never felt welcomed. A lot of places refused to deliver there because of all their silly rules so forget about easily ordering a pizza or anything like that.
In general you're surrounded by people who are only here to vacation. Some of them do it rather loudly at all hours of the day. Sure you will get some good families, but over the course of 52 weeks you'll also get a couple of inconsiderate ones.this is probably a strange question but DH wants me to ask - aside from not knowing your neighbors - what are the downsides to living in an area that allows short term rentals?
That's what I was thinking! Glad to hear I wasn't far off base.In general you're surrounded by people who are only here to vacation. Some of them do it rather loudly at all hours of the day.

We live in a neighborhood of approx 90% vacation rentals. Very few full time residents.this is probably a strange question but DH wants me to ask - aside from not knowing your neighbors - what are the downsides to living in an area that allows short term rentals?
that's good news - DH really wants to look at Clermont in the Four Corners area....We live in a neighborhood of approx 90% vacation rentals. Very few full time residents.
The only issues we have run into is that sometimes people are overly loud past bedtimes on school nights. But really it is rarely an issue. We have lived here nearly 2 years and normally it is really quiet and peaceful. I worry that we make too much noise as a family, like homework arguments, sibling fights, etc.
