Avalon Park is fun to walk around. There are a few restaurants & it is very pedestrian friendly. They host great events with lots of vendors like a farmers market and a stage that sometimes has concerts and dancers. The late events are best because it can get hot during the day. They're creative with laser shows & fireworks. One time they had a cute haunted house. The restaurants regularly change. It has grown over the last 25 years. read more

Under new management..All the new flowers are pretty but please do something about all the broken gym equipment, broken front gate etc.

Avalon Park has grown considerably and the hub of this area is their "downtown" location composed of a few parks, multiple restaurants, a bar, a Publix, and other businesses. The area has multiple special events throughout the year, a great chance for the community to get together and celebrate being alive. I find myself here often. Whether it is to shop at Publix or grab a bite to eat, Avalon Park has something for us all. read more

Avalon Park is a great little neighborhood that is very family friendly. It has a quaint little downtown district including a town square, large park with amphitheater, a YMCA, Publix, a gas station, banks, and many businesses making it a self proclaimed "live, work, play" community. The community hosts many events throughout the year that draw pretty large crowds. Turnover can be pretty high in the business and restaurants. There is a lot of potential, but a lot don't make it, even before the pandemic. We try to support as much as possible when a new business opens. *this is the reason for only 4 stars, btw. I really wish we could flourish the way Baldwi n Park has for comparison. There is a new restaurant opening hopefully in January and there has been promise of a food hall type concept that's definitely been delayed by the pandemic but I'm really looking forward to that opening. For those not familiar with the area, Avalon Park is in East Orlando with Avalon Park Blvd running from Alafaya Trail to Colonial Drive. Most would consider the area running from Alafaya to Colonial "Avalon Park", but you'll be swiftly corrected by residents that take offense to being lumped in with the rest of the commoners that live outside "the bubble". I kid, but it's a topic of contention in the neighborhood Facebook groups. LOL For the record, I live outside the bubble, but we do a lot of our shopping and dining there and take part in a lot of the events. The schools are well rated and there is a good mix of homes ranging from townhomes to large single family homes. I definitely recommend the area even if you're just visiting to frequent our businesses and events. There are lots of local owners that would appreciate your support! read more

Bell Avalon Park - Downtown lake - Apartments Near Me - Orlando, Florida

Avalon Park is Tucktaway between neighborhood and right across from the Avalon market place and a row of restaurants and cafés. Parking can be tough to find in that area. There's bench seating available some under trees for shade. It encompasses about a city block and has a cute, pond right in the center where brave/friendly ducks swim and waddle around. Those ducks are the main character in this review. While waiting for a to-go order from a restaurant across the street, I decided to walk around Avalon Park to kill some time. I noticed a sign on a post just off the sidewalk and decided to walk over and read it, hoping to learn more about the area. The sign was actually placed there to inform visitors not to feed the ducks bread (because it really is harmful) and instead feed them certain other fresh food. I saw that there was a paddling of ducks swimming around in the water and left them alone to enjoy their day while I read the sign. I noticed when they decided to come out of water and started waddling my way towards the sidewalk near me. At first glance it was very cute. Granted, they are a little funny looking. Nonetheless, I was excited that they were coming closer but to my surprise, they surrounded me in a matter of moments. I wasn't sure if they were friendly or if they were going to try to steal my sneakers, but I walked away slowly and they followed until I wound up in the middle of the street near the restaurants. They all kept their eyes on me. For a few minutes we just existed in the same space. It was a relief that they didn't start pecking at me, but I do assume they were hoping that I would feed them. Overall, it was a nice walk around the park with on a rainy day. The lesson I learned was that if I return to Avalon Park for another stroll I will not come empty-handed. Next time I will most definitely have some cut up seedless grapes for those little fellas that swim in the lake. Also - be sure to stop in at Russo's in the Marketplace across the street from the park (it's the first on the left inside) for a delicious morning coffee -- their cappuccinos are fantastic! read more

I love this area! Downtown Avalon Park is very quaint with a slight European feel. My only complaint is that it is not within walking distance for me...Oh, how I wish it were! It is very clean and full of neat little restaurants and shops. I like just coming down here to walk around. When the weather is cooperating, it is a nice place to enjoy an outdoor snack/meal, a picturesque view of the pond or hang out in Founder's Square or Town Park. read more

For O-towners who want the charm of smalltown America with the convenience of a city like Orlando, this is a cute little community in the east side of Orlando. They have their own little community park decorated with a Christmas Tree and with plenty of roving room to run around in with the kids or pets and a little stage for events. There are plenty of walkable areas with little shops. We stopped by the Starbucks before I headed back home. My friend's neighborhood features homes with the driveways at the back of the house, further supporting that old-town charm. read more

So yelp is a little confused here. Avalon Park is not a park. It is a suburban subdivision that is slightly less unremarkable than most suburban subdivision because they did a great job at including a bit of a mix of uses and they do have businesses and restaurants inside the subdivision. That said, the main attractions in the area adjacent to AP are the City dump, the prison and power plant. Thankfully the power plant includes a huge area of nature preserve so they have something to look at besides the dump and the prison. read more

What can I say. One of the reasons why I bought my home here nearly a decade ago was that this community impressed me so much. I was looking to move to Stonybrooke, but my realtor kept showing me Avalon on the side. Over a period of months, it grew on me. Besides nice homes and subdivisons, Avalon is a self sufficient community. Really a small city within a city. Avalon Park has every store you may need, every service you need from AC, massage, nails, dog grooming, and yoga to tennis lessons. It has so many free amenities for the residents such as free tennis courts in multiple locations, great pools, parks for children, and a super cool water fountain splash zone area for kids from dawn to dusk. I take kids here all the time they love it. All free. I even love little thing they have such as the book loan where a little miniature house that has books in it that people donate and you can take one and bring one. So many festivals and family events take place every weekend. Food trucks to fireworks to kids rides and more. There's no place better in orlando to raise a family read more

Really cute little downtown. Paved sidewalk around the pond is a great way to enjoy a stroll with benches spread throughout so you can enjoy the view. There's enough lawn area around the pond to enjoy a picnic. Founders park and a large grass field are just steps away and oh so inviting for a sports game or some Frisbee (when weather permits because it's not shaded). There is a variety of cafes, restaurants and bars and even a gym and yoga studio, seems like anything you need is easily accessible. It's clean and well kept and seems quite peaceful. read more

I love this little park. They always have some great events like the Jazz event yesterday. The park is well kept and the day after an event you won't find litter strewn about. That is the way to maintain a park for the public. We wanted to go hang out at Mulberry but heard the music and walked over to see what was going on. Maybe if I would look at the events calendars, I would know about these events instead of finding out by accident... lol If you are looking for a park to let the kids play, walk the dog or just toss out a blanket and soak up the sun and scenery, it is a nice little oasis in Avalon... read more

"I love this community, from the seclusion to the boutique buildings and shops. Whats not to like about Avalon Park, is located at a very secluded area of East Orlando @ the end of Alafaya Trail. Its compared a lot to the famous and prestigious are of Celebration all the way in the other side, the west side that is. But all in all is the same concept with the expensive walk up homes. You can also compare it to what is Baldwin Park in the Colonial Winter Park area. Have many friends that live here and well you know me always visiting to hang. I love the 7 Eleven they have here is so amazingly clean and good. Definitely a place to live if you're considering moving to central Fla.. read more

Great community with lots of fun places to go on a date night or with the family. Love this area.

I have to admit, I wasn't sure where to move while trying to decide on my next home in Central Florida, but the many reviews I kept reading about Avalon Park made me start and end my search there! I can't say enough about this charming little area, simply charming. The people, the shops, the "little", cozy city feel with all of the "big" city advantages, the proximity to "everything" imaginable anyone wants to do, omg.. I can best sum it up to say that every wonderful thing everyone has said about Avalon Park, I have found to be true after taking a litmus test and living in an apartment in Avalon Park for 1 1/2 years to really get acclimated and see what the hype is about. Well, I am now living in my home, in Avalon Park and couldn't be more thrilled. To those families looking for a great place to raise your kids, maybe even to retire or just those seeking to enjoy the amenities of living in Orlando, I think you will be pleased and content to call this place home. I'm glad I took my time to research Orlando and choose Avalon Park. Happy home hunting!! read more
