What it’s like
The place. Montverde is a small town in Lake County, home to a community that is mostly homeowners, with a higher share of owner-occupied homes than many places. Household incomes run well above the county's, relatively few residents live in poverty, and a good number of adults hold a four-year degree. Winters are mild, with January the coolest month and daytime highs staying comfortable, while summers are hot and the year brings a fair amount of rain.
Work. Many residents work in schools, hospitals and social care, followed by restaurants, hotels and entertainment, professional and business services, and banks, insurance and property. Across Lake County, some of the largest workplaces are Lake Schools, AdventHealth Waterman and Orlando Health South Lake Hospital. Commutes are fairly long, and a sizable number of people work from home.
Things to do. Lake Apopka, a lake, is a short drive away. Walt Disney World Resort, the best known of the nearby places, is a longer drive away, as are Magic Kingdom and Epcot, both amusement parks. Together they put a lake outing and some of the country's best-known attractions within reach of town.

FEMA’s National Risk Index (December 2025) rates the risk each natural hazard poses to the people, buildings and farms in Montverde’s census tracts, against the rest of the country; all of them together, relatively moderate. It is meant for planning, not a substitute for a local risk assessment or a flood map: FEMA’s index.
From the U.S. Census Bureau’s 2020 census and its American Community Survey (2020–2024 five-year estimates), and the Bureau of Labor Statistics.
