A new restaurant has landed in Clermont, bringing together island flavors and Mediterranean-inspired cooking under one roof. Sole'a, located at 157 N. Highway 27, is now open and serving fresh, family-inspired meals to South Lake residents.
Clermont's Growth and Local Economy
A City of Clermont population table lists 44,301 residents in its April 1, 2020 estimate, up from 28,742 in the April 1, 2010 census—an increase of 15,559.
