Enjoy the small-town charm and relaxing benefits of living by the water. Clear Lake is a great suburban neighborhood on the coast of Clear Lake in Orlando, Florida. After you’ve found your rental, ride over to George Barker Park, a premiere fishing spot for Clear Lake residents. This seven-acre neighborhood park has been a staple to the community since 1968, when it was named after a former City Commissioner. George Barker Park is not only fun, but historic and important to the Clear Lake community. With three pavilions, a boat ramp, and two fishing piers, you’ll have plenty to do in your free time.
While taking in the endless views of Clear Lake, enjoy some classic soul food like chitterlings and ox tails from town favorite, Soul Food Kitchen. You don’t want to miss what this neighborhood lake life has to offer.

The GreatSchools Rating helps parents compare schools within a state based on a variety of school quality indicators and provides a helpful picture of how effectively each school serves all of its students. Ratings are on a scale of 1 (below average) to 10 (above average) and can include test scores, college readiness, academic progress, advanced courses, equity, discipline and attendance data. We also advise parents to visit schools, consider other information on school performance and programs, and consider family needs as part of the school selection process.
