Winter Park

Touted as one of Orlando’s most exclusive neighborhoods, Winter Park is home to a number of famous families and top celebrities, including actors and professional sports stars.

They’ve all come to this suburban city of some 29,000 residents, originally founded at the turn of the 20th century as a winter resort.

Situated north of Orlando, Winter Park t is an arts-and-culture-driven community with museums, galleries, and festivals such as the Bach Festival, the Florida Film Festival, the Autumn Art Festival, and the Sidewalk Art Festival.

It is also home to Rollins College, one of the Southeast’s most prestigious private colleges.

Living in Winter Park

Winter Park is a favorite destination for nature lovers.

You’ll find a dizzying choice of more than 70 parks, all hosting various events, festivals, and celebrations throughout the year.

Among Winter Park’s many green spaces, Mead Botanical Garden stands out. Within the 47.6-acre park lies a diverse ecosystem of riparian forest, flowing streams, wetlands, sandhill, open water, and mature longleaf pine forest—all of which support the incredibly diverse animal species found in the park, especially birds.

You’ll also find a discreet array of luxe boutiques in downtown Winter Park, all of which cater to the city’s discerning residents.

For a bit of communal fun, attend the monthly Popcorn Flicks movie series, held al fresco at the town Central Park usually after sunset. Bring along a mat or a blanket, some snacks (or order to go from nearby restaurants) and make a picnic of it.
