    I hope Orlando prioritizes the growth in these walkable spaces. If central Florida is going to keep growing without making traffic impossible then we need density. Plus it's great for making better connected and healthier communities.

    Just bought a 1930's bungalow on the corner of Mills & Colonial and SO SO happy. Crazy how quiet the historic neighborhoods are just being a few blocks from hustle & bustle.

    I live in downtown, right on Central in front of Lake Eola. There is a Publix downstairs, plenty of restaurants, bars, green spaces and of course Lake Eola. I absolutely love living here. Especially the part when I don’t have to get in my car to drive anywhere, except for work of course which is to MCO.
    P.S. Love your videos. I was the flight attendant that recognized you recently on a DL flight in/out of ATL. LOL. Safe travels!

    Thank you for including Ivanhoe Village! In my opinion it’s the most walkable part of the city that has a residential feel but local food/drink without crazy traffic.

    • @kenpozek
      @kenpozek  15 днів тому

      Such a hidden spot. I’m sure the locals would like to keep it that way, but I find myself going out of the way to enjoy that area more and more.

  • @hmiller5466
    @hmiller5466 15 днів тому

    Celebrating 20yrs living in the Ivanhoe Village Ken. The “walk about” vibe is awesome plus we back up to Mills 50 and we’re a stones throw from College Park. It’s a terrific way of life.

    I was visiting Orlando a few months ago and I actually went to Mills 50 colonial area because that is where I heard it was the little Saigon of Orlando with a lot of Asian restaurants and markets. It was definitely very walkable.

  • @erick-gmz
    @erick-gmz 15 днів тому +1

    I need a city rail system to run the length of Colonial, and then the city doubling the amount of buses. It’s only walkable if i can get there without driving

    Loved the video Ken! Need to make it out to Packing District. What are your thoughts on SoDo? Hourglass is really great and it is right next to ORMC, what do you think the future of SoDo will look like?

    • @kenpozek

      Love sodo too! I own a duplex there. Like mills50, it’s also super walkable with many small businesses to support + a target 😂

    I loved the "1000 apartments to live in" when i only found 9 maybe less that would allow my old not aggressive dog to live there because e is a felon or something..

  • @aldi9802
    @aldi9802 15 днів тому +1

    The unfortunate thing about Mills 50 is that it needs better traffic control. The walkability is there, but the pedestrian safety isn't.

    • @kenpozek
      @kenpozek  15 днів тому +1

      Indeed one of the more dangerous for foot traffic. Need wider sidewalk but also wider roads. Can’t have both unfortunately

    If you’re getting priced out of Baldwin Park and Winter Park… you’re not concerned with being close to Lake Highland 🤦‍♀️ Also as “trendy” as they’re trying to make the Packing District, it’s still on The Trail.

  • @gulfsouth6231

    Hey Ken, does the Orlando metro area have any master planned communities similar to Lakewood Ranch in Sarasota, besides Celebration? Thats what I thought of when I read "walkable" but like you said, their's multiple definitions of that in real estate.

    • @kenpozek
      @kenpozek  15 днів тому

      Baldwin Park is very reminiscent of Celebration.
      Not familiar with LR (other than the name). If you fill me in a bit more I’m happy to point you in the right direction!

    Me and my wife are looking to move to Orlando in the next year. We plan to buy a home all cash and would like to be in a gated neighborhood. Recommendation of a price range we should be preparing for?

    • @kenpozek
      @kenpozek  15 днів тому +1

      Depends on the area. You can get a gated home in a nice area for 700k or $7M. Just depends on the amenities and what you’re after.

    • @ROBERTDUCANIS
      @ROBERTDUCANIS 14 днів тому

      Check out Winter Springs...nice area...about 10 miles NE of downtown. They have a number of nice, established, gated-communities. Easy access to SR-417 expressway that will connect to I-4 in Lake Mary, SR-408 into downtown Orlando, and SR-528 that would bring you to the airport to the west and Port Canaveral, Cocoa Beach to the east.

    The prices are ridiculous. All of those neighborhoods used to be more than affordable.

  • @joseperez2372
    @joseperez2372 14 днів тому

    That first town with the vertical strip of walkable area looked desolate. There was no one around and it did not look safeish at all like a Winter Park downtown.

    • @emily.lynne4
      @emily.lynne4 9 днів тому

      lol he wasn't there on a Friday and Saturday night. That is Mills 50/Colonial/Ivanhoe Village - during the day, it's mainly visited by locals and those 'in the know' in the Orlando foodie scene. It's nothing like Winter Park downtown that is touristy and can get congested at all times of the day. Mills is a lot more quiet, eclectic, and laid back vs. WP.

  • @YesDHawk1313
    @YesDHawk1313 15 днів тому

    I live in winter garden and it’s definitely not walkable. I love our downtown but it is extremely tiny. Nobody is walking to plant street. We all take our golf carts.

    • @kenpozek
      @kenpozek  15 днів тому

      Exactly. Need more dense development for walkability

  • @jill3621

    Orlando? Walkable? Who would want a walkable city when you feel like you're walking on the surface of the sun...

    • @GeorgeP-uj8xc
      @GeorgeP-uj8xc 15 днів тому +3

      Many of us move here specifically for the warmth. Plus it's not even that bad is the summer if you at least have shade but there's so few neighborhoods that invest in their urban canopy it's really disappointing.

  • @roddyg3692
    @roddyg3692 11 днів тому

    There's nothing walkable about Orlando except from the front door to the mailbox and back. Everything else is overcrowding, more construction development projects, more obstacles, more traffic delays... Shall I go on? Every neighborhood is a dead end/detour/deviation to drivers trying to get from point A to point B. Your video is more than visual proof of my claim. What else can I say? Orlando used to be mostly rural agricultural farming surrounded by orange groves. Now it is a besieged City violated by corporate greed and political corruption.
