Retirees so dominated Orlando’s
College Park in the early 1970s that there was a
talk of closing Princeton Elementary, a well-regarded
school that had stood since the neighborhood was
platted in the 1920s.
Today, although the demographics
may be changing, much about this beloved Orlando
neighborhood remains the same. The 80-year-old commercial
district along Edgewater Drive has always been home
to an array of delightful mom-and-pop shops and
eclectic eateries. The streets have always been
quiet and the homes are well kept and charming.
So protective are College Park
residents of their neighborhood that they banded
together to protest the removal of circa-1950s sign
adorning the local Publix supermarket. The grocery
chain quickly dropped its plans and restored the
sign to its original Eisenhower-age splendor.
Much of the talk in College Park
these days is over mixed-use condominium, office
and retail developments such as the Wellesley, a
five-story, $48 million project on the corner of
Edgewater and Princeton Avenue, in the heart of
the community’s Mayberryesque main drag.
