Baldwin Park is one of Orlando's most desirable and walkable neighborhoods, located just 3 miles northeast of downtown in the 32814 zip code. Built on the grounds of the former Naval Training Center Main Base — which closed in 1993 — Baldwin Park has been transformed into a stunning example of New Urbanism design, featuring tree-lined cobblestone streets, front-porch homes, waterfront parks, and a thriving Village Center.
Named after naval Secretary Robert H. B. Baldwin, the neighborhood sits between Audubon Park to the west and Winter Park to the north, with Lake Baldwin as its scenic centerpiece. The median sale price hovers around $739,000, making it one of Orlando's premium neighborhoods — but one that consistently delivers on lifestyle, location, and long-term value.
The community's main commercial strip on New Broad Street and around the Village Center offers boutique retail, wine bars, restaurants, a Publix, and a pharmacy — all walkable from most homes. Blue Jacket Park and Lake Baldwin Park circle the lake with walking trails, fishing piers, benches, and a dog park. Grace Hopper Hall provides residents with a heated outdoor pool, lounge space, and an event venue.
