The Beauty of Baldwin Park

Posted by Michelle's Central Florida on Apr 9, 2015 in Blog | 0 comments

Yesterday I had the pleasure of catching up with a good friend I hadn’t seen in quite a while. We got got up-to-speed on each other’s lives by taking a leisurely stroll around Lake Baldwin in Baldwin Park, Orlando, FL. It’s a 2.5-mile trek around the lake and hands-down one of the prettiest places in Central Florida.

As you make your way around Harbor Park, you pass Fleet Peeples Park, which ironically isn’t necessarily for people but for dogs. They get to run around off-leash and even jump into the water if they want!

By the end of our walk we felt we deserved a reward, a drink and an appetizer to be exact. It was a tough decision when we got back to the Baldwin Park Village Center. One of my favorites is Colibri Mexican Cuisine, right on the water with a fabulous view, extensive outdoor seating and they’re always playing some great music, providing an excellent casual vibe. But, we opted for another favorite, Seito Sushi. Although they didn’t have any vegetarian rolls listed on their menu, they were more than happy to make whatever I wanted. Wash it down with a Sapporro or some hot sake and we were feeling the bliss! It was the perfect happy hour time in Florida, the sun coming down for the evening’s long shadows and cooling breezes, as we sat outdoors in the sidewalk cafe.

Baldwin Park is a great place to live. You’ll find single family homes with architecture reminiscent of times gone by, yet with modern floor plans and amenities. Garages are accessed by alleys behind the homes making for the pretty curb appeal. There are also condos, townhouses and more. The community is pedestrian-friendly, with wide sidewalks that lead to the stores, offices, and restaurants at The Baldwin Park Village Center.
