Baldwin Park is a master-planned community located in the city of Orlando, Florida, United States. The community was established through a public-private partnership tasked with redeveloping the area being vacated by the Naval Training Center Orlando, which closed in 1994. The resulting community was a pedestrian focused blend of high density residential, commercial and recreational living popularly referred to as New Urbanism. The estimated population as of 2020 was 8,405. It is part of the Orlando–Kissimmee–Sanford, Florida Metropolitan Statistical Area

History[edit]

The Federal Base Realignment and Closure Commission (BRAC) selected Naval Training Center Orlando for closure in July 1993. In response, the City of Orlando created a Base Reuse Commission to develop an overall Base Reuse Plan to guide transition of base property and facilities to other uses.[1] The first houses to be built broke ground in 2003.[2]

Geography[edit]

Anchored by two lakes, 195 acres (79 ha) Lake Baldwin and 77 acres (31 ha) Lake Susannah, the community is roughly bordered by Semoran Boulevard (SR 436) to the east, Colonial Drive (SR 50) to the south, Bennett Road and Corrine Drive to the west, and the City of Winter Park to the north.[3] Cady Way Trail

Village Center[edit]

The primary goals for developers was linking the site with surrounding neighborhoods, providing public access to lakes, using open space to form a network of green spaces throughout the project, creating a vibrant main street, and dispersing automobile traffic through a gridded street network.

Education[edit]

Public schools serving Baldwin Park are operated by Orange County Public Schools.
