Background
A brief history
Audubon Park traces its roots to late 1953, when the City of Orlando annexed the land on November 5th of that year. The neighborhood was developed primarily to house personnel from the nearby Orlando Air Force Base and Naval Training Center, with builders Sorenson and Fletcher constructing the first homes along Chelsea Street and Falcon Drive. Developer Conway D. Kittredge acquired over 210 acres across two purchases in 1953, renaming two of the community's lakes after his daughters — Lake Cay Dee and Lake Druid. He named the streets after birds to honor the neighborhood's namesake, naturalist and ornithologist John James Audubon: Falcon, Raven, Oriole, Heron, Cardinal, and Tanager remain today.
The neighborhood developed steadily through the late 1950s and into the 1960s, filling in with one-story Florida ranch homes, concrete block construction, and the low-slung mid-century design vernacular that now defines the area's character. By the time the Air Force base transitioned to civilian use — eventually becoming Orlando Executive Airport — Audubon Park had grown into a stable, tree-canopied residential enclave just east of downtown Orlando.
In 2008, local business owners and residents formalized the Audubon Park Garden District as a City of Orlando Main Street program, channeling civic energy into Corrine Drive's independent retail corridor. The effort paid off dramatically: in 2016, the district received the Great American Main Street Award — the highest national recognition a commercial district can earn — making Audubon Park one of only three Florida districts ever to achieve the designation since the program began in 1995.
The feel
What it's like to live here
Audubon Park feels like a neighborhood that chose itself. The streets are shaded by mature live oaks and lined with brick pavement on the older blocks, and residents take visible pride in their landscaping — over 1,000 native trees and plants have been installed community-wide, and the neighborhood has earned a National Wildlife Federation Community Wildlife Habitat designation. Three small lakes — Lake Druid, Lake Cay Dee, and Lake Shannon — provide visual breaks and fishing spots throughout the residential grid. Fleet Farming urban garden plots dot the yards of willing homeowners, growing produce for local restaurants and reinforcing the neighborhood's sustainability identity.
Corrine Drive is the neighborhood's social spine. Within a five-minute walk, residents can reach Kadence (Orlando's only Michelin-starred restaurant, a 10-seat omakase counter), Redlight Redlight Beer Parlour with 200+ craft beers on tap, East End Market's rotating food-hall vendors, Kelly's Homemade Ice Cream, and the Monday Community Market at Stardust Video & Coffee. This density of independently owned, character-driven businesses is rare in Central Florida and is the primary reason buyers choose Audubon Park over comparable suburban alternatives at the same price point.
The details
What to expect
Architecture & Homes
The vast majority of Audubon Park homes are one-story concrete block ranch houses built between 1953 and 1968, ranging from approximately 1,100 to 2,200 square feet. Common features include original terrazzo floors, jalousie windows, carports, and Florida rooms added onto the rear. Many homes retain their period character while incorporating modern kitchens and baths; buyers specifically seek out intact original details like terrazzo and vintage tile. A smaller number of two-story homes, infill townhomes, and updated bungalows round out the inventory. Lots are typically 7,500–9,000 square feet with mature tree canopy.
Amenities & Lifestyle
Audubon Park's commercial district along Corrine Drive is its defining amenity — walkable, independently owned, and nationally recognized. Key destinations include Kadence (Michelin One Star omakase), Redlight Redlight Beer Parlour, East End Market food hall, Kelly's Homemade Ice Cream, and Stardust Video & Coffee with its weekly Monday Community Market. Fleet Farming operates urban garden plots throughout the neighborhood, supplying local restaurants. Harry P. Leu Gardens, a 50-acre botanical garden, sits at the western edge of the neighborhood. Song Bird Park features a monarch butterfly habitat planted and maintained by residents.
Schools
Audubon Park is zoned for Audubon Park K-8 School (opened 2018), which holds a 10/10 GreatSchools rating — one of the highest in Orange County. The school enrolls approximately 1,091 students with a 17:1 student-teacher ratio, and reports 77% math proficiency and 76% reading proficiency. The campus includes a community garden that ties into the neighborhood's sustainability culture. For high school, most Audubon Park residents are zoned for Winter Park High School, which offers International Baccalaureate and Advanced Placement programs. Buyers should confirm zoning for individual parcels directly with Orange County Public Schools.
Location & Access
Audubon Park sits roughly two miles northeast of downtown Orlando, bounded by N Bumby Avenue to the west, Bennett Road to the east, Maguire Boulevard and Weber Street to the south, and Corrine Drive to the north. The neighborhood is minutes from Baldwin Park, Winter Park, and the Mills 50 District, and approximately 25 minutes from Orlando International Airport. I-4 access via Colonial Drive (SR 50) puts Universal Studios 15 minutes west and the theme park corridor 25–30 minutes away. Orlando Executive Airport is adjacent to the south, with minimal noise impact on the residential core.

Market Commentary
What the market is doing
I've watched Audubon Park run 8–10% appreciation year-over-year through 2025 into 2026, and the fundamentals make sense: limited housing stock, no new construction inside the neighborhood boundaries, and a buyer pool that's actively seeking exactly what Audubon Park offers. At $419 per square foot median, it's not cheap by Orlando standards — but it's still meaningfully below what you'd pay for a comparable walkable lifestyle in Winter Park proper. The sweet spot for a move-in ready ranch is $475K–$600K; once you add a lake view, a second bath, or a clean mid-century renovation, you're looking at $650K–$900K without much pushback from buyers. There is no mandatory HOA, which eliminates one of the biggest buyer objections in the market and tends to shorten time-to-offer.
