Winter Park and Gordon Group FL


First founded as a resort community and recognized as the first centrally planned community in Florida, Winter Park is one of the most popular residential areas in Central Florida today. The scenic Olde Winter Park area is punctuated by small, winding brick streets, and a canopy of old southern live oak and camphor trees draped in Spanish moss. The city draws thousands of visitors to annual festivals including the Bach Festival, the nationally ranked Winter Park Sidewalk Arts Festival, and the Winter Park Concours d'Elegance. Winter Park is also home to Mead Botanical Garden which is a 47.6 acre park that encompasses several ecosystems.

The Winter Park Chain of Lakes offers unspoiled waterways and beautiful settings for all types of watersports. Education is abundant as the area is home to many fine educational institutes such as Trinity Preparatory School, Winter Park Tech, Full Sail University and the "University of the South" Rollins College. CSX Transportation also operates a rail line through Winter Park on the former Atlantic Coast Line, with an Amtrak Station in Downtown's historic Central Park.

Central Florida’s shopping, dining, and cultural showcase, Park Avenue boasts more than 140 boutiques, sidewalk cafes, and museums.  This signature shopping street is bordered by stunning oak-canopied Central Park which plays host to seasonal art shows, concerts, exotic car shows, and fashion events.  Located minutes north of Orlando, Park Avenue is nestled in beautiful, historic downtown Winter Park, an exquisite blend of charm, style, and sophistication.

Park Avenue’s charm is magnified in the truly unique details: hidden gardens and side streets that are home to unique stores, a farmer’s market  each Saturday morning, festive parades that mark the seasons and the scenic boat tour that cruises the canals between the City’s lakes overlooking the area’s most prestigious homes. Often called “Little Europe”, Park Avenue in Downtown Winter Park is a year round destination that is sure to charm visitors and residents of all ages.

Due to its close proximity to Orlando, Winter Park is a city that is home to many commuters with quick access to Downtown Orlando as well as outlying suburban areas like Oviedo, Winter Springs, Maitland and Altamonte Springs.
