If you’re getting priced out of Baldwin Park and Winter Park… you’re not concerned with being close to Lake Highland 🤦♀️ Also as “trendy” as they’re trying to make the Packing District, it’s still on The Trail.

Florida is not what it use to be anymore. Yes lots of people are moving in each year and they think it's great but Ive been a Floridian all my life and I miss the Florida from before, the one with barely any traffic, nature in abundance, no crowds, theme parks that were almost empty in low peak seasons, the parks were more enjoyable for locals, friendlier people, way less crime, better education because teachers weren't so overwhelmed with school crowds, less pollution. The knocking down of nature to build more apartments, more hotels more theme parks. Yes it brings jobs and tourism which it always had when it was peak season and then everyone went back to their homes and the state was for the locals again. Now we locals don't have anything left for us because we have to adapt like if we were tourists pay tourists prices and everything has gone up for us as well.

I was visiting Orlando a few months ago and I actually went to Mills 50 colonial area because that is where I heard it was the little Saigon of Orlando with a lot of Asian restaurants and markets. It was definitely very walkable.

Celebrating 20yrs living in the Ivanhoe Village Ken. The “walk about” vibe is awesome plus we back up to Mills 50 and we’re a stones throw from College Park. It’s a terrific way of life.

Hey Ken, does the Orlando metro area have any master planned communities similar to Lakewood Ranch in Sarasota, besides Celebration? Thats what I thought of when I read "walkable" but like you said, their's multiple definitions of that in real estate.
@kenpozek3 күн бұрын
Baldwin Park is very reminiscent of Celebration. Not familiar with LR (other than the name). If you fill me in a bit more I’m happy to point you in the right direction!

The unfortunate thing about Mills 50 is that it needs better traffic control. The walkability is there, but the pedestrian safety isn't.
@kenpozek3 күн бұрын
Indeed one of the more dangerous for foot traffic. Need wider sidewalk but also wider roads. Can’t have both unfortunately

Most of the rest of the world has walkable cities because they do. Knowing the U.S. we will probably turn it into a commodity for small pockets of rich neighborhoods.

Thank you for including Ivanhoe Village! In my opinion it’s the most walkable part of the city that has a residential feel but local food/drink without crazy traffic.

Many of us move here specifically for the warmth. Plus it's not even that bad is the summer if you at least have shade but there's so few neighborhoods that invest in their urban canopy it's really disappointing.

Me and my wife are looking to move to Orlando in the next year. We plan to buy a home all cash and would like to be in a gated neighborhood. Recommendation of a price range we should be preparing for?
@kenpozek3 күн бұрын
Depends on the area. You can get a gated home in a nice area for 700k or $7M. Just depends on the amenities and what you’re after.
@ROBERTDUCANIS2 күн бұрын
Check out Winter Springs...nice area...about 10 miles NE of downtown. They have a number of nice, established, gated-communities. Easy access to SR-417 expressway that will connect to I-4 in Lake Mary, SR-408 into downtown Orlando, and SR-528 that would bring you to the airport to the west and Port Canaveral, Cocoa Beach to the east.

I hope Orlando prioritizes the growth in these walkable spaces. If central Florida is going to keep growing without making traffic impossible then we need density. Plus it's great for making better connected and healthier communities.

Orlando is so centrally located, the only thing bad about MCO is the TSA. Especially traveling from Ohio/Midwest, it’s a piece of cake, and since Midwest people love family life, it’s very family friendly…that can’t be said about other Florida locations.😬🤷🏼♀️😆

I live at the edge of expansion in N FL, where strip malls end and farmland still exists. The quantity of homes that have built in the last few years is staggering and whenever I drive around a new huge tract of land is being cleared. It’s dumbfounding.

I don’t live in an HOA cuz I don’t want to be surrounded by self-important false authorities. But keep an eye on special districts. I live in 7 SD in SW FL. One here is a total menace. They don’t do what they’re obligated to do but venture into all sorts of things they’re not allowed to do but the law provides for few penalties when they do. Tons of Lawfare against landowners. For example , Requiring landowners to build up their infrastructure. We can say no but most cave to keep peace. And lawyers won’t buck the system so we have to fight wo lawyers. A friend abandoned his 3/4 complete home cuz he couldn’t afford the Lawfare and his lawyer wouldn’t call BS but rather negotiated on the SD terms. Beware. We need to beef up the laws protecting landowners.
