Discover Thornton Park: Orlando’s Electric Urban Village

Where historic brick streets pulse with modern energy, Thornton Park thrives as downtown Orlando’s most dynamic live-work-play neighborhood—a heady mix of art galleries and rooftop bars, of Sunday brunch crowds and quiet garden courtyards, all wrapped in a walkable grid of picture-perfect streets. This creative enclave attracts urbanites who want their culture served daily with a side of sunshine.

Thornton Park offers:

  • Restored 1920s apartments with exposed brick and modern lofts

  • Colorful Victorian cottages turned urban showpieces

  • Luxury high-rise residences with skyline panoramas

  • Live/work spaces above buzzing storefronts

Life in the Urban Heartbeat

Residents enjoy:

Morning: Yoga in the park with swans gliding past
Afternoon: Working from Soco’s patio with thunderstorm views

Weekends: Browsing the farmer’s market with a mimosa in hand
