Historic · Chain of lakes
Winter Park
Red brick streets, canopy oaks and a chain of lakes you can cross by boat, a short drive north of downtown Orlando.
- The houses
- 1920s revival, mid-century, new
- The pace
- Walkable, social, unhurried
- Getting around
- About 15 minutes to downtown Orlando
- It suits
- People who want to walk to dinner and live in a house with a story.
The streets
The oldest neighborhoods sit on brick streets under live oaks that meet overhead. Park Avenue runs along a long central park, lined with shops and restaurants, and a small college sits on the shore of Lake Virginia at its southern end.
The lakes
Several lakes are joined by narrow canals shaded by cypress. A scenic boat tour has run through them for generations, and owners with a lakefront dock can make the same trip any evening they like.
A Saturday here
The farmers market in the morning, a walk along Park Avenue, an hour in a museum with a celebrated collection of Tiffany glass, and dinner outside under the oaks.
