Living in College Park
A historic neighborhood with a main street of its own
College Park grew up in the 1920s, and many of its streets carry the names of universities — Yale, Princeton, Harvard — which is how the neighborhood got its name. Today it is one of Orlando’s most walkable residential areas, centered on the shops and restaurants of Edgewater Drive.
Housing ranges from original Craftsman bungalows and Mediterranean Revival homes to new custom builds on cleared lots, plus lakefront homes on Lake Adair, Lake Concord, Lake Ivanhoe and other nearby lakes. The historic Dubsdread golf course sits on the neighborhood’s north side.
Old home or new build?
Original bungalows carry charm and character; newer infill homes carry modern systems and lower insurance costs. We weigh both with you.
