Nestled just a whisper away from the heart of downtown Orlando, on the West side of I-4 between Colonial Drive and W Par Street, College Park is a neighborhood that captures the essence of urban living while retaining a delightful small-town vibe.
The soul of College Park lies in Edgewater Drive, a bustling main street that epitomizes the neighborhood’s vibrant character. Lined with an eclectic
mix of shops and restaurants, this street is where the community comes to life.
But College Park is more than just its main street. The neighborhood boasts a rich tapestry of history, with streets named after colleges and
universities, echoing its establishment in the late 19th century. This historic character, with red brick streets, old oaks, and cultural landmarks like John Young’s home and The Kerouac House add a layer of depth to the area, making every stroll a journey through time.
Community events are the heartbeat of College Park, with JazzFest hosted by College Park Main Street being a highlight of the year. These gatherings are where neighbors become friends, showcasing the tight-knit community that makes College Park so special.
The accessibility to major highways like I-4 and the 408 make getting around the city a breeze. And being surrounded by Winter Park, The Packing District, Creative Village and Ivanhoe Village means your surrounded by some of the best shopping, dining, recreation and arts the city has to offer – from the Orlando Tennis Center to the Orlando Museum of Arts to Park Avenue – everything is just a stone’s throw away from this centrally located neighborhood.
Green spaces are also plentiful in the area with parks – Dartmouth Park, Albert Park, Mathews Park, Guernsey Park and the Grove Park providing beautiful spots for all to rest, play or get some exercise.
Living in College Park means embracing a lifestyle where the charm of yesteryear meets the convenience of today. It’s a neighborhood that offers a small-town feel in the heart of downtown Orlando, a place where life’s pace is just right. The community spirit, the historic backdrop, and the modern conveniences make College Park not just a place to live, but a place to call home.
