About College Park , Fl
College Park is arguably the most desirable residential community in the Orlando area. Located just minutes from downtown Orlando, College Park truly offers a rare, authentic combination of quiet traditional small town living and vibrant urban convenience.
Called College Park for its beautiful residential streets that are named after American Universities, this tranquil neighborhood offers a quality of life unparalleled by other area communities. Its upscale blend of safe, small town, inner city living has long been home to many of Orlando’s business and community leaders and young professionals. In fact, College Park’s charm is defined as much by the diverse mixture of residents as it is by its ancient oak trees, brick paved streets and historic older homes. While in close proximity to Winter Park’s shopping district, College Park has a vibrant downtown area of its own along Edgewater Drive, where you will find shops, eateries, parks and businesses lining a delightful pedestrian oriented downtown area.
College Park ’s real estate consists of charming bungalows and older homes dating back to early 20th century. Some townhouses and condominiums are available as well. Many of the neighborhood homes are authentic old houses that have been remodeled and well cared for. Regardless of size, the character and warmth of these homes is astonishing.
