Architectural diversity and walkability in Lake Eola Heights
Just north of Orlando’s iconic lake is the historic neighborhood of Lake Eola Heights. The community was established in the early 19th century and has since grown into a sprawling residential community with a diverse array of architectural styles. “Its what we consider the center of downtown,” says David Dorman, a local Realtor with Century 21 Professional Group and over 25 years of experience. “You can walk down the street from the early 1900s to the modern 2000s-you’ve got a little bit of everything as far as construction goes.” Residents can easily walk to nearby parks, commercial districts and Orlando’s Central Business District.
Lake Eola Heights is a beautiful community with a multitude of home styles to choose from.

Brick roads lined with Craftsman bungalows and Colonial estates
Historic brick streets crisscross the community, fringed by wide sidewalks and elegant homes. “The neighborhood’s mostly Craftsman, but some new homes are being built too,” says Dorman. Much of the neighborhood was built in the early 20th century, a period reflected by the community’s abundance of Craftsman-style homes. This design features deep, low-pitched roofing, large windows, and open floor plans that emphasize simplicity in appearance and unpretentious interiors. The community also features several Colonial-revival houses and ornate Mediterranean and frame vernacular homes. Homebuyers also have a range of multi-story condominium complexes featuring in-house fitness centers and views of Lake Eola. Prices depend mainly on the size and style of the home. Condo prices can range from $200,000 to $450,000. Alternatively, a modest Craftsman bungalow costs around $400,000, while larger houses cost as much as $1.0 million.
If a cozy smaller bungalow style home is up your alley then Lake Eola Heights is for you.
