Suburban Diverse Scenic

Union Park is a census-designated place in Orange County, Florida, positioned just east of Orlando along the State Road 408 corridor. The community has a settled, residential character that stands apart from the bustle of downtown Orlando, offering a quieter pace while keeping major employment centers within an easy commute. The University of Central Florida, one of the largest universities in the country, sits just a few miles to the northeast, which gives the area a steady connection to education, research, and healthcare-related jobs.

The housing stock in Union Park leans toward single-family homes built primarily in the 1970s and 1980s, giving many streets a mature, tree-lined feel. Renters can find a mix of apartment communities, townhomes, and standalone rental houses, with options that tend to be more affordable than those closer to downtown Orlando or the tourist corridor to the south. Layouts typically range from compact one-bedroom units to spacious multi-bedroom floor plans suited to a variety of living situations.

Day-to-day errands are manageable, with shopping and services along the East Colonial Drive corridor nearby. The surrounding Orange County area offers access to major employers in technology, hospitality, and healthcare, making Union Park a practical base for those working across the greater Orlando metro.
