Kings Ridge Map
Quick Overview
Kings Ridge is a gated active-adult community in Clermont that has been developed since 1996 and now includes roughly 2,000 homes. It offers two 18-hole golf courses on site, club amenities, and single-story living on the rolling terrain that sets south Lake County apart from the rest of Central Florida.
Kings Ridge 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, Kings Ridge is one of the larger golf-oriented 55+ communities in the Clermont area, with the advantage of being close to the US 27 corridor, Clermont's services, and the area's lakes.
Neighborhoods
The community is organized into sections of single-story homes, villas, and patio homes arranged around the clubhouse, pools, and golf courses. Golf-front and lake-view lots are available in selected sections, and the community's gated entry points keep traffic local.
Because Kings Ridge has been building since the mid-1990s, different sections reflect different construction eras, from late-1990s homes to 2000s and 2010s product. Buyers touring resale homes should pay attention to section, lot position, and any community updates.
The clubhouse anchors the social side of the community, and the course layout provides the open space that separates neighborhoods. In practice, the community functions as a self-contained village: most daily activities, from golf to dining to fitness, happen without leaving the gate.
Housing
Housing in Kings Ridge is single-story, with villas and patio homes supplementing detached houses. Most homes are resale, and inventory is steady rather than abundant. Lot position matters: golf-front, lake-view, and cul-de-sac lots command premiums.
Community association fees apply, and golf and club access generally require separate membership. Fees and membership structures change, so request current documents from the association and the club when comparing.
Transportation
Kings Ridge sits in the Clermont area near the intersection of the US 27 and SR 50 corridors, with SR 429, the Western Beltway, a short drive to the east for toll access toward Orlando 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
Golf is the centerpiece of daily life at Kings Ridge, with two 18-hole courses on site, but the activity calendar extends well beyond the fairways: pools, fitness, tennis and pickleball, and events are all part of the club setting. The gated environment and neighbor-driven clubs give the community a resort-adjacent feel.
The rolling, lake-dotted terrain around Clermont gives the community a setting that stands apart from the flat suburban corridors of much of Greater Orlando. The Clermont chain of lakes, the West Orange Trail, and the hill country around Sugarloaf Mountain are all within a short drive, and the area's citrus-era landmarks such as the Citrus Tower remain part of the local landscape.
Clermont provides everyday shopping, dining, and medical services along the US 27 and SR 50 corridors, and the wider south Lake County area adds hospitals, retail centers, and additional golf options a short drive from the gate.
Schools
Kings Ridge 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.
