A neighborhood in development
Callahan, an established Orlando neighborhood, is undergoing a transformation amid ongoing development of downtown. "A lot of money is being poured into the area," says Valerie Kennedy, a Realtor with Colonialtown Realty, located just 2 miles from Callahan. Key to the changes in Callahan is Creative Village, an Innovation District built in phases on the former site of Amway Arena with the goal of providing educational and workforce opportunities. Creative Village's first phase was completed in the summer of 2022 and includes the Electronic Arts Orlando Studio corporate anchor building and Luminary Green Park, a contemporary urban green space. The master plan for the $2 billion public-private partnership is scheduled to be completed in 2031. The area already includes market-rate apartments as well as student housing for faculty and staff of UCF and Valencia College. The area also gives way to entertainment options, from a local performing arts venue to NBA games at the Kia Center just outside the neighborhood.
Callahan's Creative Village has become a popular park and community area.
Callahan is a smaller close knit community directly east of Downtown Orlando.

Recreation and parks close to home
Although many changes have been brought by the development of Creative Village, Callahan retains its roots through community resources.
