Florida's best kept secret is the quaint town of Gotha, placed about 20 minutes from Orlando; Gotha is perfectly sited between Ocoee and Windermere. Canopies of majestic oaks and serene lakes are throughout this small Florida town that is virtually unknown even among long-time Florida residents.

Located in West Orange County, Gotha was named in 1885 by German-native Henry Hempel who titled this lovely locale after his hometown in Germany. One year before, in 1884, this location was known for its world-renown botanical gardens established by Henry Nehrling. Nehriling's home, referred to as Palm Garden Cottage, is Florida's oldest botanical garden. In 1995, Gotha was registered as a historical preservation district.

One of those landmarks is an old general store that is now home to one of the ten best restaurants in Orlando, the "Yellow Dog Eats Cafe." "The Yellow Dog Eats Cafe" is a charming scene that serves up gourmet sandwiches, salads, and other local favorites. While you wait for your delicious meal, you can browse the cafe's collection of antiques and gifts.

Gotha has several local entertainment options for the approximately 731 residents who call this piece of paradise home. Entertainment includes a pretty community park; an old one-room schoolhouse that has been converted into a community center with opportunities for Dance of Life yoga classes and monthly covered dish dinners for neighbors to enjoy; and many local lakes that offer numerous outdoor opportunities including fishing.

Gotha is conveniently located just minutes from Florida's Turnpike, State Road 408, and State Road 50. Also minutes from this quiet town are the bright lights of Orlando that include theme parks, restaurants, shopping, sports, night life, and golf. The convenient Lynx Bus also offers commuters and sight-seers an advantageous alternative to driving your own vehicle. The Lynx Bus has routes in Orange, Seminole, and Osceola Counties.

Gotha's warm, hometown feel, exceptional location, and desirable Orange County schools have become quite a draw to homebuyers. Gotha offers a variety of styles and types of homes including contemporary and traditional. Home prices in Gotha range from moderate to exclusive.

This sought-after Central Florida address is also convenient to several well-respected colleges and universities including Rollins College in Winter Park, Valencia Community College in Orlando, and the University of Central Florida also in Orlando.
