Baldwin Park, Florida.
A walkable new-urbanist village on a former Navy base, built around a town center and lakes.
Baldwin Park is Orlando's most successful new-urbanist community, built on the site of the former Naval Training Center and wrapped around Lake Baldwin and Lake Susannah. Its grid of tree-lined streets, front porches, and a walkable Village Center draws buyers who want community and convenience over acreage. Homes sell fast here, and a well-timed, well-priced listing routinely draws multiple offers.

The daily rhythm
Life here
Baldwin Park is the answer when a buyer asks for 'a neighborhood where we never need to get in the car.' Residents stroll to dinner, paddleboard on Lake Baldwin, and run into the same neighbors at the Saturday farmers market. It is Orlando's best example of the new-urbanist ideal.
The market in one line
The homes I represent in Baldwin Park typically range from about $450,000 to $1,600,000.
Schools
The school question, answered by address.
Baldwin Park is within Orange County Public Schools with address-based zoning; nearby school options include Brookshire Elementary and Glenridge Middle, with Winter Park High as the principal zone for much of the area. I confirm current zones before touring.
School boundaries can change, so I never rely on a guess at closing time. As part of my due diligence I pull the current official zone maps for every address we consider and go over them with you before you make an offer.
"Address-based zoning means the exact street can decide the school. I bring the maps."
