A Fresh Look at Winter Park

Art and music. History and architecture. Natural charm and vibrant culture. Whether you’re a lifelong “Winter Parker” or an out-of-towner, our city has something for everyone – and lately, it’s been getting better than ever.

Here at The Mayflower, we’ve had a front-row seat to the improvements bringing fresh air and fresh beauty to our hometown – from a comprehensive refresh of Park Avenue to new spaces for recreation, business, and culture.

A More Vibrant Shopping District

Through new initiatives like the Park Avenue Refresh Project, the city is investing in the charm and vitality of the elegant downtown district – making it greener, cleaner, and more walkable. Enhancements include:

  • Wider sidewalk curbs
  • Redesigned benches
  • Updated streetlamps

More Greenspace

Another “breath of fresh air” arrived earlier this year with the grand opening of Seven Oaks Park on Orange Avenue – a 2.4-acre outdoor oasis in the heart of the city. The park encompasses:

  • Lush garden areas
  • Walking paths
  • Open spaces for pop-up events and public gatherings

A Bright Future for Growth

As economic development and investment fuel growth along Orlando Avenue, Winter Park continues to evolve – with more to look forward to in the years ahead.

Community Connections at The Mayflower

Since opening our doors, The Mayflower has proudly supported our historic city through lasting relationships with organizations like the Winter Park Chamber of Commerce and the Bach Festival Society.

When you live on our campus, you’ll enjoy:

  • Guest performers and expert speakers from local arts organizations
  • Behind-the-scenes tours and community excursions
  • Minutes-away access to downtown and beautiful Park Avenue

At the same time, you’ll have all the advantages of a lifestyle designed around you: world-class amenities, maintenance-free living, and stimulating programs right at your doorstep.

“There’s so much research to show that being part of a community helps you feel better physically, mentally, and just gives you a better outlook on life,” says Mayflower resident Jane Lapple. “At The Mayflower, all of that is built in!”
