Lake Eola Orlando, FL

Lakeside living in the heart of Orlando

Lake Views Historic

Giant, fake swans – and some real ones – circle the fountain of Lake Eola. The fake ones are paddle boats, rented by residents and visitors for relaxation and amazing views of the Downtown Orlando skyline. The Lake Eola neighborhood consists of the historic Eola Heights and South Eola. The large lake is the star of both communities.

Eola Heights features brick-paved streets shaded by oak trees and is a short walk to Lake Eola Park. It is also within walking distance of South Eola, which is a shopping, dining, and entertainment hub. These two very distinctive neighborhoods combine to provide the best of Orlando – natural beauty, history, fun events, and the Orlando Farmers Market.

Eola Heights extends from East Colonial Drive to the north end of Lake Eola Park. South Eola is located on the southeast side of the lake and is the location of the farmers market, the Stardust Lounge, and the World of Beer.
