Walkability, recreation and retail in Baldwin Park

Baldwin Park was built in the early 2000s with the principles of new urbanism, which emphasizes walkability, public spaces where people can mingle and homes located near stores and restaurants. The mixed-use design of the master-planned community puts homes, retail, recreation and schools close to each other. Residents take sidewalks to parks and ride their bikes to the Baldwin Park Village Center for a cup of coffee or live music. Outside of Baldwin Park, major employers are nearby; Orlando's Central Business District, downtown Winter Park, AdventHealth Winter Park hospital and the Lake Baldwin Department of Veterans Affairs Clinic are within 4 miles.

Homes for a variety of lifestyles

Many residents were drawn to the neighborhood because of the variety of homes, which range from small condos to 7,000-square-foot homes, says Brian Cirillo, broker of Baldwin Park Realty and a resident for more than 20 years. “That attracts people of all different stages of life, from single to married to families to empty nesters.” Cirillo says it’s also common for residents to move within the neighborhood as their lifestyle changes. The homes have all been built since the early 2000s, but their designs often draw from early and mid-20th century architectural styles: Craftsman, Cape Cod and Colonial Revival. Baldwin Park’s design guidelines don’t allow homes of similar styles to stand next to each other, creating a varied mix of homes.

Wide-ranging home prices and high HOA fees

Homes on the southeast side usually sell from the low $400,000s to the high $600,000s. Elsewhere, prices often range from the low $700,000s to $1 million. Homes with four or more bedrooms have recently sold from about $1 million to $3.2 million. Townhouses usually cost between the low $500,000s and $1.1 million. Condo prices are usually lower, varying from the mid-$400,000s to the mid-$600,000s. Homeowners pay dues to the Residential Owners Association, which is like an HOA. Fees have shot up in recent years, costing some homeowners $1,000 or more per month.

Designed with parks and trails throughout

Baldwin Park’s new urbanism design emphasized shared public spaces, particularly trails and parks. Running and biking trails surround the neighborhood’s centerpiece, Lake Baldwin. “They intentionally didn’t put houses around Lake Baldwin so the entire community can enjoy it,” Cirillo says. “You’ll see lots of people walking around that trail.” At Lake Baldwin Park, pets play off leash at the dog park, and people navigate the lake in fishing boats, kayaks and sailboats. Pockets parks with playgrounds and shaded trails were built throughout the neighborhood, so most homes are within a 10-minute walk of a green space. Baldwin Park neighbors Winter Park Pines Golf Club, which is open to the public.

Baldwin Park busy with events

Most residents pay HOA dues, and those fees cover some of the neighborhood’s many events. “There’s an event almost every week,” says JJ Mackle, a Realtor with Premier Sotheby’s International Realty Winter Park who lives nearby. “Halloween is especially insane. People bus in from all over for it.” The neighborhood celebrates Halloween with the Mini Monster Bash, when costumed residents and stilt walkers roam the community. Other events include 5K races, holiday celebrations and the annual Taste of Baldwin Park Food & Wine Festival.
