Lake Butler, the largest of eight lakes in the Butler Chain, is located on Windermere's west border. Lake Down the second largest of the lakes in the Butler Chain, is located on Windermere's east border, and Lake Bessie marks Windermere's southeast waterfront boundary.

The population of Windermere was counted at around 1,800 in the year 2000 with approximately 545 families as of 1990. They include large corporation CEO's, foreign dignitaries, and professional sports superstars.
