Downtown living in South Eola
South Eola blends Orlando's past and present, with modern condo buildings towering over century-old brick streets and oak trees. This downtown neighborhood south of Lake Eola Park consists of several blocks of apartment and condo complexes, where trendy bars, restaurants and coffee shops operate out of the ground floors. This dense development pattern, along with the proximity to large employers in the neighboring Central Business District, creates a highly walkable neighborhood where residents don’t need a car to go out for dinner, get to work or spend a day at the park.
South Eola is one of the neighborhoods that make up downtown Orlando.
South Eola is highly walkable.

Walk to coffee shops and lakeside restaurants
The walk from one end of South Eola’s business district to the other takes five minutes. Along the way, you might pass people enjoying cocktails on the patio of The Stubborn Mule or filing out of Great Harvest Bakery Cafe with fresh cheddar biscuits. Though it’s small, the neighborhood is packed with restaurants, stores and cafes, including:
Bynx, a coffee shop with a record store, recording studio and live-music stage
Publix, a grocery store chain known for its bakery and deli
The Dust, a retro-inspired cocktail lounge with an upstairs tiki bar
The Greenery Creamery, an ice cream parlor scooping dairy-based and vegan flavors
Osphere Grill & Bar, a refined restaurant with a patio overlooking Lake Eola
The neighboring Central Business District is known for its nightlife scene, with bars such as Casey’s On Central and The Robinson Cocktail Room staying open until 2 a.m. During a night in the CBD, you can catch a concert at The Social or see an improv show at SAK Comedy Lab. If you get tired of the weekend crowds and commotions in the CBD, return to South Eola, where things wind down much earlier.
Bynx is a cafe serving coffee, tea, wine and beer.
Bynx Orlando allows local artists to showcase their music.

Waterfront recreation and events at Lake Eola Park
On nearly any given day, Lake Eola Park is full of joggers running along the mile-long trail around the lake, picnickers relaxing on the grassy shoreline and people moving across the water in swan-shaped pedal boats. “[Lake Eola] is the heart of the city,” says Eric Rollings, a Realtor at Mainframe Real Estate who specializes in downtown Orlando neighborhoods. Events bring people from across Orlando to Lake Eola Park every week, and the green space hosts some of the region’s largest festivals. A few of the notable events held at the park include:
Come Out With Pride Orlando, an October parade that draws 200,000-plus people downtown
Fiesta in the Park, a twice-annual art festival held in Orlando for more than 50 years
Orlando Farmers Market, a weekly Sunday market full of growers, bakers and food trucks
Paws in the Park, a pet-friendly February event highlighted by a dog costume contest
Recreation isn’t limited to Lake Eola Park. Dogs can frolic on the neighborhood’s south side at Constitution Green, home to downtown’s only off-leash dog park. Plus, South Eola is within 20 miles of the attractions, shows and restaurants at Walt Disney World Resort, Universal Orlando Resort and SeaWorld Orlando.

How much South Eola condos cost
South Eola’s skyline is smaller than the one in the Central Business District, but apartment and condo towers still rise more than 200 feet. In addition to high-rises, there are smaller condo communities where every unit has a street-level entrance. Most condos sell from the lower $200,000s to the upper $400,000s, but units that come with features such as built-in parking garages or on-site storage units have recently sold from the lower $500,000s to the upper $600,000s. Luxury penthouses can cost up to $1.5 million. Most complexes charge homeowners condo association fees, which vary from $500 to $3,000 per month.
Some condo buildings come with views of Lake Eola.
Many of the neighborhood's condo communities have been built since the '90s.

Get around Orlando using the SunRail train, free buses or the highway
Thanks to its dense layout and variety of transportation options, South Eola is one of the least car-dependent areas in Orlando. “For the first six months we lived here, we would Uber to Target, but otherwise we'd walk, and we didn't have a car,” says South Eola Neighborhood Association President David Wessman. In addition to walking, residents can catch the free Lymmo bus and ride to the Dr. Phillips Center for the Performing Arts or to Inter&Co Stadium, home of Orlando City Soccer Club. A few blocks west of South Eola, SunRail trains stop at Church Street station as they travel north and south across metro Orlando. When you need to drive, you can take the nearby on-ramp to Florida state Road 408, which puts you on the route to Orlando International Airport, 20 miles away.
State Road 408 makes travel around the city a breeze.
Lymmo buses offer free routes through the downtown area.

Edgewater High School is about 4 miles from South Eola.
Schools include the highly rated Edgewater High
Children in South Eola can attend two highly rated schools in the Orange County Public Schools district. The first is Lake Como School, which teaches kindergarten through eighth grade, and the other is Edgewater High School. Students can apply to Edgewater High’s Center for Future Educators, a magnet program focused on preparing students for careers in teaching. Magnet applications open from October to December and again in April.
South Eola’s location next to the Central Business District makes it a natural landing spot for working professionals, but South Eola Neighborhood Association Vice President Sandra Ketcham says the neighborhood is a good fit for kids, too. When Ketcham first moved to South Eola, she had a teenage son and a young daughter, and she says the neighborhood was ideal for her family. “In walking distance, there’s the library, Lake Eola Park and events,” she says. “The kids could go out and socialize without driving, and they could get a job nearby.”
GreatSchools:
The GreatSchools Rating helps parents compare schools within a state based on a variety of school quality indicators and provides a helpful picture of how effectively each school serves all of its students. Ratings are on a scale of 1 (below average) to 10 (above average) and can include test scores, college readiness, academic progress, advanced courses, equity, discipline and attendance data. We also advise parents to visit schools, consider other information on school performance and programs, and consider family needs as part of the school selection process.

This neighborhood is such a win. It’s a little pricey but worth it for being so walkable and literally on top of Lake Eola, so you’ve got that perfect outdoor lifestyle vibe.
We’re close enough to the DPAC and Kia Center that you can actually get to events without it being a whole ordeal, but you're just far enough away to avoid the chaos of the downtown bars. It's safe, low-key, and you're basically 5 minutes from everything.
10/10 would recommend if you want the downtown lifestyle without the 2am shenanigans.
