Weston Hills is a gated residential community located on the US 27, 2 miles north of the junction with the US 192, only 10 miles from Disney. Disney can be reached in approx 15 minutes by driving south on the US 27 and east along the US192. A quick and useful route into Disney to take from the 192 if the traffic if a little heavy; is to turn left at the junction of US192/Black Lake Road. This runs parallel with the 192 until you reach the T-junction with Sherberth Road. Turn left here, and follow the road to the traffic lights. Turn right at the lights and you are on Disney property, at the end of the Osceola Parkway by the entrance to the Animal Kingdom Lodge. Follow the signs to whichever Disney Park you want. Universal and Sea World are easily reached by going further east along the US 192 to the I4 junction and heading east.
Having both permanent residents and vacation homes, it provides the holidaymaker with the chance to experience the true American lifestyle! Surrounded by open fields and natural wetlands the community is a peaceful haven after a day at the theme parks or the coast. On site facilities include two community pools, tennis courts, volleyball, playground and interactive pool for the kids, and within 5 minutes drive, you can find a selection of golf courses including Highlands Reserve, Kings Ridge and Legends. If you haven't walked enough around the shops or parks; why not get some exercise walking around the pavements in the community and have a chat with the locals? There are also walking trails in the countryside behind (but go well shod and watch out for the wildlife!).
If you want to visit the Gulf Coast, take the US27 south to the junction with the I4 and turn right (west) towards Tampa. You can be at Busch Gardens in less than an hour, or on the beach at Clearwater in just over the hour! Out on the US 27 there are a number of petrol stations, a 7-11 grocery store and Walgreen’s pharmacy, close by. The main local shops are only 2 minutes away where Woodridge Plaza provides a Winn Dixie supermarket, post office, bank, pizza takeaway, dry cleaners, dentist and hairdresser. Just a bit further on, around the corner on the US 192, there is Summer Bay with a Publix supermarket, video shop, jewellers, hairdresser and nail salon, pizza and Chinese takeaways, Doctor, and library where guests can access the Internet. Dining is not a problem! The US 192 has more restaurant options than you could wish for, or drive down the US 27 to the I4 junction for a further selection.
