Central Orlando

Winter Park is the only Orlando ZIP we track whose home value rose meaningfully this year — up 5.6%, against rent up 4.9%. Run the division and it is the lowest rent-to-value ratio on the board. Which is good news or bad news depending entirely on whether you already own there.

Q2 caught Winter Park between two overhangs: Park Avenue hit peak construction right as leasing season peaked, and a 297-bed Rollins dorm opens this fall. One offset — the edge corridors got their amenities. Here's what 32789 landlords do before September.

Q1 2026 is when the Park Avenue Refresh stopped being a plan and became a job site. Phase 1 broke ground Jan 20, the Commission locked Phase 2 on Feb 25, and a 250-unit building cleared review at Ravaudage. Here's why 32789 landlords should hold and defend, not push rent.

Winter Park's 2025 rent ledger held steady. The quiet news is that three projects topped off, broke ground, or got approved that will reshape 1BR demand, Park Avenue foot traffic, and the Orange Avenue Overlay for years to come.
