Creative Village has reshaped Callahan

Callahan is where an established downtown neighborhood meets a new wave of development centered on Creative Village, a mixed-use district focused on innovation. Developed in the late 2010s and 2020s, Creative Village brings colleges, apartments, retail and events to a walkable area west of Orlando’s Central Business District. The hundreds of millions of dollars spent on the construction of Creative Village signify the investments the city government and local businesses are putting into Callahan.

Established Orlando neighborhood with growth potential

Callahan is made up of early and mid-20th-century homes, along with modern apartment complexes. While there isn’t as much single-family home construction in the neighborhood as there is to the south in Parramore, vacant lots zoned for single-family or duplex construction on the market in Callahan point to potential development in the future. "A lot of money is being poured into the area," says Valerie Kennedy, broker and owner of Colonialtown Realty. Houses usually sell from the upper $100,000s to the upper $200,000s.

What you can see and do in Creative Village

High-tech jobs, delectable dishes and nightly light shows are all part of life at Creative Village. This project transformed nearly 70 acres on Callahan’s north side into a walkable mixed-use district that’s home to:

  • EA Orlando Studio, a large office where Electronic Arts develops Madden video games
  • Florida Interactive Entertainment Academy, University of Central Florida’s gaming and animation college
  • Luminary Green, a small park where a 20-minute light show plays every evening
  • The Monroe, a retro-inspired restaurant with updated comfort food and cocktails
Outside of Creative Village, Callahan has a few more neighborhood businesses, such as the paint-covered coffee shop Van Goghblin Cafe and Ivanhoe Park Lager House, a brewery that hosts, among other things, car shows, yoga sessions and pop-up markets. Sy’s Supermarket is a few blocks away in Parramore, while other retail essentials are west of the neighborhood on Colonial Drive.

Recreation includes lakefront walks and pro sports

Callahan’s recreation scene isn’t limited to Luminary Green. A path at Lake Dot Park takes walkers and joggers around the small lake, and the Downtown Recreation Center welcomes teenagers after school for pick-up basketball, tutoring and classes on financial literacy. This side of downtown is a professional sports hub thanks to Inter&Co Stadium, where Orlando City and the Orlando Pride play home soccer matches, as well as the Kia Center, home to the NBA’s Orlando Magic.

Florida state Road 408 and Interstate 4 are nearby.
