Orlando and Winter Park are in reach from Orwin Manor

Orwin Manor’s name blends Orlando and Winter Park, the two cities the Florida neighborhood straddles. Orwin Manor gives residents access to both; the high-rises of downtown Orlando and the upscale storefronts of Winter Park are both within 3 miles of the historic neighborhood. In addition to the location, the neighborhood lifestyle is appealing to many. Locals frequently stroll sidewalks shaded by Spanish moss-draped trees and hang out at events put on by the neighborhood association.

How much Orwin Manor homes cost

Most of the neighborhood homes are midcentury designs with two or three bedrooms, priced from the mid-$500,000s to the mid-$800,000s. Some homes from the same era were built larger than 2,500 square feet; those houses sell between $1 million and $2 million. New homes built since 2020 cost $3 million or more.

Some houses sit within the Orlando city limits, while others are in the city of Winter Park, says Shawn Layton, a resident and Realtor with the Home Boys team at Serhant. “I have a Winter Park address and pay Winter Park taxes, and my neighbors pay Orlando taxes.” Orlando has a higher property tax rate than Winter Park.

Voluntary neighborhood association puts on events

Homeowners don’t pay mandatory homeowners association dues, but there is a voluntary association: the Orwin Manor Westminster Association. The group organizes activities, such as the annual Easter egg hunt, where kids search for 800 eggs, and an Oktoberfest event. The association also holds the Great Pumpkin Contest to honor the home with the best Halloween decorations and recognizes the neighborhood’s best yard bi-monthly. The social aspect of Orwin Manor is one of the neighborhood’s strengths, Layton says. “We say this all the time: we could not have asked for better neighbors. Everyone is so friendly, welcoming and inclusive,” he says. “People are out every day walking their dogs, talking to their neighbors.”

Some of Orwin Manor’s established homes replaced by new houses

Nearly 30 homes built from the ‘20s through the ‘50s are designated historic properties. Many other houses were constructed in the mid-20th century. Orwin Manor features traditional Floridian architecture. Homes are often one story with wide, gently hipped roofs and well-manicured front lawns. “It’s laid-back, with tree-lined streets and brick roads,” Layton says. However, the aesthetics of the neighborhood are changing as investors buy some of the more modest traditional homes, then demolish them to clear the way for larger modern designs. “A lot of these neighborhoods, I’ve sold houses that were just magnificent homes, in my opinion, because they had so much charming character,” says Tom Langmann a Realtor with Re/Max 200 Realty who has lived in Orlando for 40 years. “You’re selling them for a half-million dollars, and they’re tearing them down to build $3 million homes. They’re cookie cutter — very modern, nice — but it just kind of takes away from the charm of the neighborhoods.”
