Engelwood Park
Discover Engelwood Park: Orlando’s Hidden Mid-Century Treasure
Where atomic-age architecture meets modern urban energy, Engelwood Park emerges as Orlando’s unsung mid-century haven—a time capsule of 1950s-60s design just west of downtown, where original butterfly roofs share streets with sleek modern updates, and a tight-knit community celebrates its retro roots. This architectural gem attracts design enthusiasts, young families, and urban pioneers who appreciate space-age flair with downtown convenience.

Why Engelwood Park Stands Out
Orlando’s most intact mid-century neighborhood
Walk Score of 68 – surprisingly pedestrian-friendly
20% below comparable historic area prices
Active preservation community fighting tear-downs
For those who crave Atomic Age authenticity with urban access, Engelwood Park offers Orlando’s coolest retro-future—where your home is a design statement and your neighborhood is a living museum.
