Isleworth is a community outside Windermere, Florida, in Orange County. Located outside the Orlando city limits, the community is desirable for its proximity to the city's downtown, its location within the Butler chain of lakes, and as a local status symbol of wealth and grandeur. Isleworth traces its roots to the Chase family, a group of citrus grove owners from Philadelphia who purchased land in the area after the U.S. Civil War. Sidney and Joshua Chase referred to their property as the "Isle of Worth," because its citrus trees seemed naturally resistant to periodic cold snaps. In 1984, Chase descendants sold their lands to Arnold Palmer, who with developers designed an extra large golf course for wealthy members. In 1993, the Tavistock Group purchased the golf course and surrounding area and began developing the large, expensive and magnificent mansions that are a hallmark of the community. Isleworth is home to a championship 18-hole golf course originally designed by Arnold Palmer and Ed Seay, later re-designed and modified by Steve Smyers. The course consistently ranks as the longest and toughest course in the state by the Florida State Golf Association (FSGA). It complements another Tavistock development on the other side of Orlando, Lake Nona. Late in 2007, the community became a bone of contention between Orange County officials and nearby Windermere when the city announced plans to annex Isleworth. With property tax rolls totaling $800 million that year, it generated $3.5 million in tax revenues for the county that the city was anxious to redirect to its own coffers. Orange County Mayor Rich Crotty quickly threatened to end county fire and sheriff services to Isleworth if annexation plans went forward.Beginning in December 2014, Isleworth will become the new location of the Hero World Challenge.

The 1890 Windermere School (also known as the Armstrong-Parramore House) is a historic school in Windermere, Florida, United States. The schoolhouse is located at 113 West Seventh Avenue. The building served the community as a school between 1890 and 1916, then as a community center through 1923. After its days as a community center, it became a private residence. In 1995 the Armstrong-Parramore family, who owned the land and building, donated it to the city. Rooms and structures added to the building by the Armstrong-Parramores were dismantled, restoring the building to its original form. On June 5, 2003, it was added to the U.S. National Register of Historic Places. In 2011, the Windermere city government wished to move the historic building to another location. However, a movement arose to keep it in its current location. The issue was put to Windermere voters in the form of a town charter amendment. The amendment, which protected the schoolhouse from further move attempts, passed overwhelmingly with 71.25% of voters in favor.

The 9/11 Memorial at Windermere, Florida is a memorial dedicated to the victims of the September 11 attacks in New York City, the Pentagon and Flight 93 in 2001. The memorial features a piece of steel from the World Trade Center that fell to the ground among the rubble and debris. Surrounding it are ceramic tiles that honor those who died in the attacks; each person that lost their life had a tile representing their country. A cement path has also been created around the steel from the World Trade Center. The idea for a memorial to the September 11 attacks in Windermere was conceived of by Boy Scout Jeff Cox as part of his Eagle Scout Leadership Service Project. Cox orchestrated the project with the help of his family, the mayor of Windermere, Gary Bruhn and Cox's Boy Scout Troop, Troop 6. The dedication to this memorial was held on Saturday, February 20, 2010. A primary plaque described the September 11 attacks and the memorial. An ancillary plaque was placed in the honor of the mayor, Troop 6, and Cox for erecting the memorial.
