Restaurants and events make the Milk District a trendy option
The Milk District’s name comes from the T.G. Lee Dairy, but it’s the businesses surrounding the dairy that lend to the Orlando neighborhood’s lively reputation. Across the street at Sportstown, people have shot pool and knocked back beers since the 1950s. A block in the other direction, crowds pack into The Plaza Live for concerts and annual Halloween showings of “The Rocky Horror Picture Show.” Nightlife and entertainment define the Milk District, an increasingly popular landing spot for Orlando residents.
New and renovated homes in a hot neighborhood
Construction in the neighborhood spans a century, creating a varied mix of homes. “It’s a lovely amalgamation of everything from Craftsman bungalows to midcentury moderns to townhouses,” says Rochelle Warriner, a Realtor with United Real Estate Preferred. Homes usually come with small yards, but they’re often within walking distance of parks. Renovations are sweeping the neighborhood, where old homes have been replaced with modern designs and midcentury townhomes have been refurbished. “Now, it’s one of the hottest neighborhoods in Orlando,” says Eric Rollings, a Realtor at Mainframe Real Estate who specializes in downtown Orlando.
Craftsman-style homes in the Milk District offer charming options for homebuyers.

The cost of houses and townhomes
East of Bumby Avenue, where homes tend to be smaller, prices typically range from the low $300,000s to the high $400,000s. On the other side of Bumby Avenue, most recent homes sales have been priced from the low $500,000s to the mid-$900,000s. However, it’s not unheard of for a house to sell for $1 million or more. Prices of older townhomes vary from the high $200,000s to the mid-$400,000s. Townhouses built since 2020 sell from the mid-$400,000s to the mid-$600,000s.
Sidewalks, bike lanes and paved trails make cycling in the Milk District easy.
Easy to bike and walk around the neighborhood
Several neighborhood streets have bike lanes, and The Milk District neighborhood organization arranges bike safety training and helps businesses install neighborhood-branded bike racks. Several off-street cycling paths either cross through the Milk District or are nearby:
Bumby Path: This 1-mile path starts a few blocks north of the Milk District and leads to the Audubon Park neighborhood.
Cady Way Trail: This heavily shaded trail covers nearly 7 miles, and an offshoot loop encircles Lake Baldwin.
Lake Underhill Path: This trail connects four parks as it covers roughly 3 miles in the Milk District and alongside Lake Underhill.
Orlando Urban Trail: The Cady Way trail links to this 3-mile path that passes through two shopping and dining districts: Ivanhoe Village and Mills 50.
The Milk District is also highly walkable, Rollings says. “You can see a show, you can go to a place to eat, you can have a cocktail and you can walk home.”
Nightlife and retail in the Milk District
The Milk District is known for its small local businesses that include dive bars and thrift stores. “So you have [the T.G. Lee Dairy] as the cornerstone, but then you also have these neat restaurants and little shops, like 300 to 400 square feet,” Warriner says. “It’s very kitsch.” The neighborhood’s businesses are mostly dispersed among three areas:
East Robinson Street and North Bumby Avenue: Well-known watering holes, such as Whiskey Lou’s and Sideward Brewing Co., congregate around this intersection.
East South Street: This strip of businesses includes two LGBTQ+ bars: Southern Nights and District Dive.
Colonial Plaza: This shopping center has national retailers including Marshalls and Hobby Lobby, but it also hosts The Plaza Live, a venue for musicians, comedians and other performers since the ‘60s.
Milk Mart is a quarterly art and food festival featuring over 300 local vendors and creatives.
Business parking lots transform into a walkable market during Milk Mart.

Events include comedy, music and the Milk Mart
The Milk District is part of the Orlando Main Streets program. Each district has a nonprofit group that plans events and supports neighborhood businesses. “It’s more on the bohemian side of the Main Street Districts,” Rollings says. “They have comedy showcases. They have local entertainment, as well as all different types of music acts where they shut down parts of the street or take up large sections of parking lots.”
Once a quarter, Milk Mart takes over the Robinson and Bumby intersection. An inflatable entryway in the shape of a cow towers over guests as they arrive at the market, where artisans and small businesses sell gifts and treats. Markets are often seasonally themed, such as the Lazy Lovers Milk Mart in February and the Milk Mart Spooky Soirée in October.
