In a tiny home in College Park, Jack Kerouac wrote one of his classic novels, The Dharma Bums. The year was 1957, and his most famous work, On the Road, was about to be published. The tiny, unassuming house is just one surprising treasure you'll discover in College Park, a neighborhood with street names like Yale and Harvard. Since it served as home to a man many believed began the Beat generation, College Park has a reputation for being hip and trendy.

Located on the northwest side of Downtown Orlando, College Park contains a variety of parks, walking paths, and lakes, including Lake Estelle. It is also home to the Orlando Science Center, the Orlando Museum of Art, and the famous Dubsdread Golf Course. This golf course, established in 1924, has hosted golfing legends like Sam Snead and Tiger Woods. Along with its brick-lined streets and jaunty bungalows, you'll find a wide selection of shops and restaurants. College Park extends from West Colonial Drive northward to Lake Fairview, between I-4 and Orange Blossom Trail.

Very nice but expensive. Two good schools in the area which are Bishop Moore and Edgewater. They have very nice families and the atmosphere is for all ages.

College Park is over-flowing with family fun and community involvement. Surrounded by lakes, parks and nearby (walk-able) shopping, this is an amazing place to call home. Local restaurants, niche shopping, diversified churches and both small homes and high end luxury homes are very appealing.

Nice atmosphere with a main road with restaurants and mom and pop stores. Schools are average but there are good private schools in the area. Location is very good , close to downtown Orlando and main roads.
