Big changes in Princeton-Silver Star thanks to the Packing District

A new project is revitalizing the Princeton-Silver Star neighborhood and transforming its neglected citrus-packing hub. The development, known as the Packing District, has brought new apartments and townhomes, and turned a shuttered orange crate factory into a food hall. These are just some of the changes the Packing District has caused in Princeton-Silver Star, an industrial part of Orlando with an Amazon warehouse and a Coca-Cola bottling plant. The Packing District is only one part of Princeton-Silver Star, but it’s drawing recreation and businesses that the entire neighborhood can enjoy.

Rooftop views and gated living

Industrial buildings fill the center of the neighborhood, so homes are usually clustered in developments on the east and west sides. The newest homes are in the Brix at the Packing District, where Toll Brothers has built three-story townhouses with rooftop terraces. In Country Club Villas, many of the gated community’s Mediterranean-style homes border the Country Club of Orlando golf course. On the other side of Princeton-Silve Star, ranch-style homes and duplexes fill the Willows subdivision.

Typical single-family and townhome prices

Single-family prices usually range from the lower $200,000s to the lower $400,000s. However, houses in the Country Club Villas community have sold from the lower $500,000s to the mid-$900,000s. Townhomes with less than 2,000 square feet can cost you anywhere from the lower $400,000s to the mid-$700,000s, while larger townhouses sell between the lower $600,000s and the lower $800,000s. Most residents pay HOA dues, but they’re usually less than $200 a month.

Food hall, farmers market and more at the Packing District

The Packing District has transformed the east side of Princeton-Silver Star. “That area struggled for decades,” says Eric Rollings, a Realtor at Mainframe Real Estate. “That was where they packed all the citrus. We don’t have much of a citrus industry in Orange County [anymore]. Obviously, if you don’t have fruit, you don’t have any need to pack it.” But the community is making their own metaphorical lemonade out of that lemon: Old plants and warehouses have been converted into and replaced by businesses and organizations, such as:

  • The Great Southern Box Co., a food hall with Jamaican, Brazilian, Thai and other cuisines
  • 4Roots Farm Campus, a nonprofit farm that hosts a monthly farmers market
  • The Grove Park, home to trails and the Orlando Tennis Centre
  • The Leonard & Marjorie Williams Family YMCA, a 33,000-square-foot gym with programs for kids, teens and adults
Outside the Packing District, the Country Club of Orlando has an 18-hole golf course, 12 tennis courts and croquet lawn for members to use. It’s a short drive to Barnett Park, where people bike the BMX track, take their pets to the dog park and launch fishing boats onto Lake Lawne.

Attending Orange County Public Schools, Orlando Science Schools

Students can apply to the highly rated Orlando Science Schools, which teach kindergarten through 12th grade across two campuses in Princeton-Silver Star. Orange County Public Schools oversees the STEM-focused charter school, and families don’t have to pay tuition if their children attend. The application window opens from October to January, and a lottery drawing is held in January to select students. If students go to non-charter schools in the district, they still have some flexibility in what schools they attend. “The district is a choice system, so many will choose schools based around their student’s interests,” says Brad Barnett, a Realtor with Anne Rogers Realty Group.
