Why Baldwin Park Remains A Popular Orlando Neighborhood
Baldwin Park in Orlando was originally set aside as an Army Air Corps and Air Force base – from 1940 until 1968 when the neighborhood changed hands to become the Orlando Naval Training Center. This base and training center remained open until 1999.
Today Baldwin Park boasts with two top-rated schools – with another in the pipeline – making it a tremendously popular choice for those with families who want to purchase a property. The other property related reason for people wanting to relocate to this lovely neighborhood is that there is an enormous choice of different types of properties. There are townhomes, condos, luxury apartments and single-family homes – all within walking distance of a variety of amenities including restaurants and shops.
Of course, it’s the outdoor life that attracts many to Baldwin Park. By some estimates, the area boasts 200 acres of parks and 50 miles of trails and paths that can be explored by various means including walking, bicycling and anything in between. For many a walk around the scenic areas of Lake Baldwin is the highlight of the morning or evening and something that the entire family can enjoy on the weekends. Lake Baldwin Park is a particular favorite with families due to the fact that it is dog-friendly and is one of only two parks in Orlando which has a sandy beach.
There are numerous other trails such as Cady Way Trail that offer the opportunity for relaxation.
This trail is popular with cyclists. In fact, it is easy to rent a bike and set off for a leisurely exploration of scenic attractions of the shady trail.
