Historic brick streets crisscross the community, fringed by wide sidewalks and elegant homes. Homebuyers also have a range of townhomes and multi-story condominium complexes featuring in-house fitness centers and views of Lake Eola. Homes range from 1-5 bedrooms and from 799 square feet to 2,879 square feet in living area.
Residents can easily walk to nearby parks, commercial districts and Orlando’s Central Business District.
