The City of Gracious Living – Winter Park, FL

 

Written by Susan Wood

 Known as the ‘City of Gracious Living,’ Winter Park, Florida, is one of America’s most appealing cities. Its scenic beauty, tranquil environment, and abundance of art and culture have made it a showplace residential area since the late 1800′s. Brick-lined streets meander through quaint neighborhoods. Mediterranean, Greek, Victorian, Revival, and arts and crafts-period architecture creature an eclectic atmosphere. Picturesque lakes with old Venetian canals surround residential areas. Beautiful parks, old majestic trees, and botanical gardens are abundant. The area is host to frequent arts and music festivals. And, although it feels as if it’s worlds away, it’s only a few miles from downtown Orlando.
