Winter Park and environs are among the most prestigious addresses in Central Florida. Known for its quiet neighborhoods, spacious lots and brick streets. Winter Park boasts a downtown designed around a picturesque Central Park, which hosts two popular art festivals, one in the spring, the other in the fall. First built during the late 19th Century, Winter Park is home to a thriving arts community, two golf courses, museums, unique shops and restaurants and Rollins College, a small liberal arts school. A number of lakes dot Winter Park and there is a public boat launch near the Rollins campus. Single-family homes start in the mid-$400,000s and go well into the millions, depending on the location.
