@Haley R I live in Winter Garden and used to work off of Sand Lake a little further out than your DH would be. I didn't find the commute bad at all. In general it seemed traffic was flowing the opposite direction I was traveling. I also worked 730-4 so that helped a bit. If you want new construction then over here in the Hamlin area is where all the big growth is. It's pretty nuts how much construction is happening.
Also, the library system here is really awesome. When we bought our house 8 years ago I looked into the Dr Phillips area next to the library because I loved it so much, but it was all older condos. Then I was looking recently at new construction in downtown Winter Garden next to that library, but it was more than I wanted to spend probably because the location is so amazing. You don't even need to be near a library though because anytime you request a book they deliver it to your house for free!
I've been living in the Windermere / Winter Garden area since 2006 and I highly recommend it. Did a year over near Universal and hated it, even though it was a quick drive to my office at the time.
