The real monthly cost of owning in Windermere
Take the median $828,000 home with 20% down at today’s 7.03% 30-year rate: principal and interest run about $4,420/month. Orange County’s typical total millage is 16.67 mills, so after the $50,000 homestead exemption the property tax is roughly $12,972/year ($1,081/month) for a new owner — the seller’s capped bill on the listing will be lower and is not your number. Citizens Property Insurance’s average premium in Orange County is about $1,409/year; private-market quotes vary with roof age and wind mitigation. 84% of current Windermere listings carry an HOA, with a median of $243/month where one applies. All in, budget on the order of $5,862/month to own the median Windermere home including a typical HOA.

Schools, taxes, and insurance: where to verify
School assignments change; check the Orange County school grades page for the district’s current grades, and confirm zoning for a specific address directly with the district. Property tax figures on this page use Orange County’s typical millage of 16.67; municipal and special-district millage varies inside the county. Insurance uses Citizens’ Orange County average of $1,409/year; a wind-mitigation inspection and roof age can move a private quote a long way in either direction.
