Audubon Park’s amenities draw new residents and new homes

Audubon Park began in the 1950s as a development for the families of airmen and sailors stationed in Orlando, but trendy shops and acclaimed eateries have attracted a new crowd. Increasingly, some buyers are dropping hundreds of thousands of dollars on midcentury homes to tear them down and replace them with contemporary designs. The neighborhood’s short commute downtown, highly rated public schools and thriving commercial district on Corrine Drive make Audubon Park one of the most desirable spots to move in northeast Orlando.

Modern houses built alongside midcentury homes

Rows of ranch-style homes dominate the streetscape. Blooming gardens, manicured shrubs or lush trees fill nearly every yard. Lots aren’t huge, but Audubon Park homes tend to have more yard space than neighboring communities, and many houses here encircle Lake Shannon or Lake Cay Dee, two small, private lakes. “Audubon Park is where you get larger lots,” says Brett Winters, a Realtor at Olde Town Brokers who has experience selling homes in the neighborhood. Sometimes, these larger plots of land make way for bigger, newer homes, he says. “Now we’re seeing them tearing down houses and building $1.5 million homes.”

Midcentury homes like this one are found throughout the neighborhood.

Home prices and how they compare to nearby communities

Properties priced in the lower to mid-$400,000s are marketed as opportunities to demolish the existing house and build a new one. Prices for turnkey homes typically vary from the mid-$400,000s to the mid-$600,000s. Houses with more than 2,000 square feet of space have sold from the lower $700,000s to nearly $2 million. There are no HOAs or associated fees for homeowners. Low-rise condo buildings on the south end offer less space, but also less upkeep and lower prices. Units have recently sold from the lower $200,000s to the lower $300,000s. Condo owners will have to pay $200 or more in monthly association fees. Compared to neighboring communities, Audubon Park’s overall median price in the lower $500,000s is lower than the median price in Baldwin Park, but higher than the median price in both Colonialtown North and Winter Park.

Award-winning sushi and "secret" bakery on Corrine Drive

Homes on the north side are within a 10-minue walk of the shops, restaurants and watering holes packed into a third-of-a-mile stretch of Corrine Drive. You’ll find biscuits, artisan cheeses and stuffed Japanese waffles at East End Market, a two-story food hall and artisan market. Gideon’s Bakehouse in Disney Springs draws crowds, but the bakery’s original location inside East End Market often goes unnoticed by tourists. “It’s tiny, but it’s still there,” says Jennifer Marvel, an Audubon Park resident and executive director of the Audubon Park Garden District community organization. “The lines are so long at Disney Springs that it’s on several of those 'Disney secrets' sites that you can go to the original location.” Other businesses on Corrine Drive include:

  • Kadence, a Michelin-starred sushi bar with only eight seats
  • Park Ave CDs, a treasure trove of vinyl records, CDs and collectibles
  • Stardust Video & Coffee, a cafe and bar that hosts the weekly Audubon Park Community Market
  • The Owl’s Attic, a vintage clothing store with a focus on apparel from the ‘70s and ‘80s

A quick drive downtown, plus bike and bus access

Orlando’s Central Business District is about 4 miles away. The commute usually takes 10 to 20 minutes by car. Alternatively, you can cycle there in about 20 minutes using the off-street Bumby Trail and the bike lane on East Livingston Street. Lynx buses stop on Corrine Drive on their way to the Central Business District or AdventHealth Winter Park, a major employer in the area. The ride to either takes 15 to 20 minutes.

Residents can easily access the Bumby Trail and Cady Way Trail, two cycling and walking paths.

Spend time outdoors at Leu Gardens, Lake Druid Park

Fifty acres of roses, camellias, banana trees and other plants thrive at Harry P. Leu Gardens. Pathways wind through thousands of tropical and subtropical species, some of which have been on display since the 1940s. The gardens usually charge for admission, but entrance is free on the first Monday of the month. It’s always free to go to Lake Druid Park, home to a dog park and a pump track.
