Back HomeOne of the Best Neighborhoods in Downtown Orlando – College Park
College Park has been noted as one of downtown Orlando’s favorite city neighborhoods. This distinct neighborhood gets its name from the many streets within its boundaries that were named for institutions of higher learning such as Princeton, Harvard, and Yale. It’s close to downtown which makes it a popular residential area for both singles, college students, families, and seniors. Most residents of working age are homeowners and 65% of households include no children.
With its low-key beauty and longtime citizens, College Park offers specialty stores, trendy restaurants, hipster bars, coffee shops and is one of the city’s cultural core doors. It’s a highly walkable neighborhood with Mediterranean markets, farmers markets, and corner shops.
