Heritage Hills Map
Quick Overview
Heritage Hills is a gated active-adult community in Clermont that has been developed since 2008. It is built around a large clubhouse and a broad recreation program, including pools, fitness, tennis and pickleball, and trails that wind through the hilly, lake-dotted landscape of south Lake County. It does not have an on-site golf course.
Heritage Hills is an age-restricted residential community. Buyers should verify current age-qualification, occupancy, HOA, and community requirements directly with the governing organizations before purchasing.
For relocation buyers who want an active-adult lifestyle centered on club amenities and social life rather than golf, Heritage Hills is one of the newer options in the Clermont market.
Neighborhoods
The community is arranged in sections of single-story homes and villas around the central clubhouse, with trails connecting the neighborhoods to the lake-view and hilltop common areas. The layout follows Clermont's rolling terrain, so some lots have notable elevation change.
Buildout has progressed in phases since the late 2000s, which means sections vary in age from the late-2000s through the 2020s. Golf and lake views are not the defining feature here the way they are in Kings Ridge; instead, the clubhouse and activity calendar anchor the community.
The newer construction era is a meaningful difference from the older 55+ communities nearby. Many homes were built after 2008 wind-code updates, which matters for insurance, and the community's amenities were designed around current active-adult preferences, including pickleball and fitness-oriented programming.
Housing
Housing in Heritage Hills is single-story, offered as detached homes and villas. Because the community is largely built out, the resale market dominates, with occasional new or never-occupied homes available.
Association fees apply and cover the common amenities. Fee levels vary by section and lot, so review the current HOA disclosure for any specific property.
Transportation
Heritage Hills sits in the Clermont area near the US 27 and SR 50 corridors, with SR 429 providing toll access toward west Orange County and the airport.
Drive times depend on traffic, route, and exact address. Depending on conditions, downtown Orlando is typically about 40 to 55 minutes away, the Walt Disney World area roughly 30 to 40 minutes, and Orlando International Airport (MCO) usually about 45 to 60 minutes.
Daily Life
Daily life at Heritage Hills revolves around the clubhouse and its programs: fitness classes, swimming, tennis and pickleball, events, and organized clubs. The trail system supports walking and cycling through the community's hills and around its lakes, and the active calendar means most residents build their social circle within walking distance of home.
The community's hillside setting is one of its quieter advantages. Because much of south Lake County is flat, the elevation change here provides views and a sense of separation, and the surrounding conservation lakes keep the scenery green year-round.
Clermont supplies everyday shopping, dining, and healthcare, and the broader area adds the West Orange Trail, the Clermont chain lakes, and nearby golf courses for those who want them. Without an on-site course, golfers drive a short distance to courses in Clermont and Minneola.
Schools
Heritage Hills is in the Clermont area of Lake County and is served by Lake County Schools. The community is age-restricted, so school-age residents are uncommon, but assignment areas still apply to any address.
Verify the assignment for any specific address with the Lake County Schools school locator before buying.
