Colonialtown North has vintage homes next to trendy Mills 50
In Colonialtown North, compact bungalows sit blocks away from some of Orlando's trendiest cocktail lounges and most popular gourmet restaurants. The Mills 50 commercial district borders the neighborhood on two sides, so residents can often walk to the bars and restaurants that others drive from across town to patronize. Modern, upscale concepts are often opening in Mills 50, but Colonialtown North maintains an early and mid-20th century character thanks to its homes and brick streets.
Charming bungalows are common in Colonialtown North.

Vintage homes without historic district rules
Half the homes here were built before 1951, and many have stood since the 1920s. “What I like about Colonialtown North is you still have some of those old bungalows. They’re maintained enough that people aren’t tearing them down,” says Brett Winters, a Realtor with Olde Town Brokers who bought his first home in Colonialtown North and is one of the neighborhood’s top agents. Unlike neighboring Colonialtown South, Colonialtown North doesn’t contain a historic district. That means homeowners don’t have to get approval before undertaking renovations such as adding a new roof or windows. Still, the voluntary Colonialtown North Neighborhood Association works to maintain and highlight the community’s historic character, Winters says. “You’ll see those plaques on the houses that say, ‘Established 1949.’ People take pride in where they live.”
Smaller move-in-ready homes have recently sold from the upper $300,000s to the upper $500,000s. Larger houses can cost up to $1.8 million. Townhome prices range from the upper $400,000s to the lower $600,000s.
While older homes have been torn down in many parts of Orlando, the neighborhood's vintage homes are largely preserved.

Hawkers is one of many iconic restaurants in Mills 50.
Locally loved restaurants and chic cocktail bars in Mills 50
Colonialtown North borders North Mills Avenue and East Colonial Drive, also known as Florida state Road 50. The two streets form Mills 50, a business district known for its eclectic mix of restaurants and bars. “Mills 50 is where you go out. Colonialtown North is where you live,” Winters says. “The reason people love this area is you get both at the same time.” Many of the restaurants and cafes along East Colonial Drive specialize in Asian cuisines. Bánh Mì Ý Nhu bakes fresh baguettes for Vietnamese bánh mì sandwiches, while Sticky Rice cooks up street food from Laos. The storefronts on North Mills Avenue are filled with a mix of stalwarts and new concepts that include:
Dong-A Supermarket, a grocery store specializing in produce, spices and pantry staples used in Asian cuisines
Hawkers, a street food eatery that combines flavors of Malaysia, Vietnam and more
Lamp & Shade, a former lamp repair shop turned upscale restaurant and cocktail bar
Tori Tori, a Japanese bar and restaurant featured in the Michelin Guide
Will’s Pub, a destination for cold drinks and loud concerts for more than 30 years
Residents enjoy the scenic view when visiting Colonialtown North.
Locals walk to restaurants, bars and parks
Nearly every house is less than a mile from restaurants or bars on East Colonial Drive or North Mills Avenue. The only exception is the northeast corner. However, homes there are within a 10-minute walk of Audubon Park, which has its own collection of boutiques, bars and eateries along Corrine Drive.
Locals walk the neighborhood’s shaded sidewalks and streets even when they’re not heading to a nearby business. “It’s a very walkable neighborhood; you’ll see families out riding bikes, and there are a lot of parks,” says Gwendolen Flynn, a Realtor with Coldwell Banker Realty who sells homes in the neighborhood. Small, scattered parks include Colonialtown Park, which has a playground, and Colonialtown Square Park, a patch of green space with shaded benches. Next to Colonialtown Park, Colonialtown Neighborhood Center hosts before- and after-school programs, a chess club and a Mahjong group.
How long it takes to drive downtown, to Disney and more
It’s about a mile to Interstate 4 or Florida state Road 408. You can use these two highways to drive nearly anywhere in metro Orlando. Here’s how long it takes to get to some of the region’s employment hubs:
The 2-mile drive to the Central Business District takes less than 10 minutes.
The 10-mile drive to Orlando International Airport takes 20 to 45 minutes
The 10-mile drive to the University of Central Florida and Research Park takes 15 to 45 minutes.
The 20-mile drive to Walt Disney World Resort takes 25 minutes to an hour.
Lynx buses also stop on North Mills Avenue and East Colonial Drive on their way to the Central Business District. A ride on the former route takes about 10 minutes, while the latter lasts 20 minutes or so.
Colonialtown North residents can bike to Central Business District, less than 2 miles away.
