Walkable Orlando Neighborhoods: Top Places to Live 

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.

Just bought a 1930's bungalow on the corner of Mills & Colonial and SO SO happy. Crazy how quiet the historic neighborhoods are just being a few blocks from hustle & bustle.

I lived in Thornton Park for 4 years from 2016-2020 and absolutely loved it. Right on the border of city vibe and neighborhood vibe, it had the looks of old school Florida with giant mossy live oak lined brick streets, old houses, and then plenty of modern high rises a few blocks to the west. Best of both worlds. Peaceful enough and chill yet close to downtown party scene and anyway center within a 15 minute walk. The roads are also often one way which creates a city vibe and still very close to great neighborhoods like Mills/50, milk district, Ivanhoe, college park, etc. I loved those areas but they didn’t feel like they were THAT walkable or at least the main thoroughfare roads were very big and car dominant where as in Thornton park/downtown it felt like it was meant to be walked around.

Ken Pozek has some of the best content on Orlando. Videos make me want to move to Orlando

During the twenty plus years that I lived in Orlando, I lived in the Eola Heights and Thornton Park area. The main point for me, besides it just being a beautiful place to live, was that everything that I loved to do was pretty much all within a short walk of where I lived. Great video, Ken!

Hey Ken! My wife, daughter, and I met you at Jeff’s Bagels today-THANKS for being so nice! We love your channel and, even though we have lived in Orlando for 15 years, we always learn local tips from your channel and podcast. Thank you!

Do more Walkable Videos please...great content..Thank you

I like that College Park, Ivanhoe Village, and Mills 50 are all adjacent to each other also.

I live in downtown, right on Central in front of Lake Eola. There is a Publix downstairs, plenty of restaurants, bars, green spaces and of course Lake Eola. I absolutely love living here. Especially the part when I don’t have to get in my car to drive anywhere, except for work of course which is to MCO. P.S. Love your videos. I was the flight attendant that recognized you recently on a DL flight in/out of ATL. LOL. Safe travels!

@3:16 --- Very cool paddle board footage

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.

Ken ya did it again, Another great video and info on these parts of Orlando, Always thanks for posting this info.. Tony j. from Indiana..🙌🏼👍👏🏼😃🏢📸

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.

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.

We needed this. Have family coming to town in month and need a few sweet walkable spots in Orlando. Mills 50/Ivanhoe is a must

Excellent info, Ken. Looking forward to exploring more of Orlando and WP!

I was just walking in winter park thinking about a video like this amazing !!

Hi ken can u make a video for dog lovers about parks beach hiking trails in Orlando area????😊

I need a city rail system to run the length of Colonial, and then the city doubling the amount of buses. It’s only walkable if i can get there without driving

Hi! This was such an informative video! I am looking to move there in a year. I will need to use the transit every day. Is there an apartment you recommend that is close to a stop? Thanx.

Loved the video Ken! Need to make it out to Packing District. What are your thoughts on SoDo? Hourglass is really great and it is right next to ORMC, what do you think the future of SoDo will look like?

Lucked out moving to Mills 50 a few months back!

Great video! Thanks for bringing walkability into the light

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.

is there a video of the area you live in and why?

You guys have anyone that specializes in lots ? Looking for a few acres in the Clermont area.

Think there are some rough times ahead for FL RE agents. Good luck.

The unfortunate thing about Mills 50 is that it needs better traffic control. The walkability is there, but the pedestrian safety isn't.

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.

I loved the "1000 apartments to live in" when i only found 9 maybe less that would allow my old not aggressive dog to live there because e is a felon or something..

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?

Why doesn’t Orlando seem as cool to me as how it looks on this channel

The prices are ridiculous. All of those neighborhoods used to be more than affordable.

That first town with the vertical strip of walkable area looked desolate. There was no one around and it did not look safeish at all like a Winter Park downtown.

I live in winter garden and it’s definitely not walkable. I love our downtown but it is extremely tiny. Nobody is walking to plant street. We all take our golf carts.

Orlando? Walkable? Who would want a walkable city when you feel like you're walking on the surface of the sun...

There's nothing walkable about Orlando except from the front door to the mailbox and back. Everything else is overcrowding, more construction development projects, more obstacles, more traffic delays... Shall I go on? Every neighborhood is a dead end/detour/deviation to drivers trying to get from point A to point B. Your video is more than visual proof of my claim. What else can I say? Orlando used to be mostly rural agricultural farming surrounded by orange groves. Now it is a besieged City violated by corporate greed and political corruption.
