✦ For getting outside
Two free apps for life under the oaks.

§ 05 — How it got here
Platted in 1937, named after birds, built around the lakes.
The neighborhood was platted in 1937 and grew up around the post-war Orlando Naval Training Center — which is why the housing stock is overwhelmingly mid-century ranch and bungalow. In 2014 it became Central Florida's first neighborhood certified as a Wildlife Habitat Community. Lake Sue and the Cady Way Trail anchor the north end, Leu Gardens the east, and the APGD Main Street program along Corrine Drive — a 2016 Great American Main Street Award winner — anchors the small-business community in between.

§ 06 — Good to know
Audubon Park, answered.
The questions neighbors and newcomers ask most — where it is, when the market runs, what the Garden District is, and what it's like to live here.
Where is Audubon Park, and what ZIP code is it in?
Audubon Park is a historic neighborhood in central Orlando, Florida, in ZIP code 32803. It sits just south of Winter Park, with Harry P. Leu Gardens and Lake Rowena along its eastern edge and the Corrine Drive Main Street running through its center. Its residential streets are famously named after birds — Mockingbird, Bluebird, Falcon, Robin, Wren, and Thrush among them.
When is the Audubon Park Community Market (the farmers market)?
The Audubon Park Community Market — the neighborhood's weekly farmers-and-makers market — runs every Monday evening, 6–10 PM, in the Stardust Video & Coffee parking lot on Corrine Drive. Expect 30+ vendors with farm produce, baked goods, prepared food, art, and live music. It's been a Monday-night ritual, rain or shine, since 2008. Details via APGD →
What is the Audubon Park Garden District?
The Audubon Park Garden District (APGD) is the Main Street program along Corrine Drive — the stretch of independent shops, restaurants, and food halls (including East End Market) at the commercial heart of the neighborhood. It won the 2016 Great American Main Street Award. It's the most prominent organization in Audubon Park, though the neighborhood itself is larger than the district. More on the anchors →
What's it like to live in Audubon Park? What are the homes like?
Audubon Park is one of central Orlando's most sought-after neighborhoods — walkable, tree-lined, and made up mostly of mid-century ranch and bungalow homes from the post-war 1940s and '50s. Families are drawn by the walkable Audubon Park K-8 magnet school, the Cady Way Trail, Lake Sue, and the Corrine Drive shops and Monday market. Homes here are in high demand and tend to sell quickly, so current houses for sale and apartments are best found through the major real-estate listing sites.
What is there to do in Audubon Park?
Harry P. Leu Gardens (a 50-acre botanical garden with monthly movie nights), the Monday Community Market, the Cady Way Trail and Lake Sue for walking and paddling, and the independent restaurants and shops along Corrine Drive. See what's on this week →
