Established and progressive neighborhood near Downtown Orlando
A progressive neighborhood on the mooooooove, Orlando’s Milk District has grown from a single dairy farm into one of the city’s trendiest destinations. Billing itself as a “culture of subcultures,” the dynamic community just east of Downtown Orlando will celebrate its 100th anniversary in 2025. It is home to a diverse collection of eateries, independent businesses, colorful murals, live music venues and a signature park. “The Milk District is super interesting,” says Rochelle Warriner, a Realtor with United Real Estate Preferred. “It all started with T.G. Lee and his family, and the milk manufacturing plant has been there forever. It’s one of the things that helped grow Orlando. So you have that as the cornerstone, but then you also have these neat restaurants and little shops, like 300 to 400 square feet. It’s very kitsch. You also have dive bars and thrift shops, and on top of that, you have new places like Stasio’s Italian Deli & Market, and a rum bar, Otto’s High Dive, which is next door to the deli.”

Community of creatives regularly celebrates with Milk Mart
The cultural hub is anchored by a close-knit community of creatives who celebrate with regular gatherings such as Milk Mart, a local art and food festival held quarterly at the intersection of Robinson Street and Bumby Avenue. The neighborhood street fair features an expansive collection of vendors comprising artists, crafters, pop-up businesses and food trucks. “The Milk District is a small microcosm of the larger downtown area,” Warriner says, “and it has a really wonderful community feel.” The neighborhood also hosts the annual International Food on Wheels Festival, a summer showcase of food trucks held at Orlando Festival Park.
Abstractly designed sculptures are a unique feature to Orlando Festival Park in Milk District.

Dining options are plentiful and diverse
Established destinations such as Market on South illustrate the neighborhood’s dining chops. Visitors to the restaurant, which specializes in plant-based meals and treats, can dine next to the restaurant’s produce gardens. "Every time I drive by, I have to stop in there; very good vegan food," says David Dorman, a Realtor with Century 21 Professionals. Another featured stop is Pom Pom's Teahouse and Sandwicheria, whose interior is adorned with work from local artists. "The best sandwich in town,” Dorman says. “I could go there for lunch every day.” The newest destination is Milkhouse, a contemporary collection of culinary businesses where visitors can eat, drink and be merry among eateries that serve food, drink, ice cream and coffee. Craft beer fans have several options in the Milk District, including Barley & Vine Biergarten, which features 25 craft beers on tap, 150 bottled beers, and eclectic beverages such as sake and mead; and Sideward Brewing Co., a family-owned taproom that serves comfort food favorites. A Sprouts Farmers Market is conveniently located just north of the neighborhood at the Colonial Plaza shopping center, which also includes Marshalls and Old Navy.

Craftsman bungalows highlight a "lovely amalgamation" of homes
The neighborhood’s housing is predictably diverse, offering options from the established to the contemporary. “It’s a lovely amalgamation of everything from Craftsman bungalows to midcentury moderns to townhouses,” Warriner says. “It’s very similar to downtown; it’s an integrated mix.” Home prices typically range from the low $300,000s to the mid-$600,000s, but extensive Craftsman renovations and new homes can list between the mid-$700,00s and high $800,000s. Condominiums start in the high $100,000s and townhouses start in the mid-$300,000s.
