Originally founded in the late 19th century, early Winter Park showcases early home restorations across its civic buildings, retail stores, art galleries, and historic neighborhoods. The city's lakes are interconnected with navigable canals that provide active recreational activities for residents who enjoy boating, fishing and skiing.

While some homeowners opt for new construction, remodeling and expertly restoring homes in Winter Park remains a high-value investment.
Golden Age of Hotels
Early Winter Park new constructions created central Florida's Golden Age of Hotels. Presidents, celebrities and wealthy vacationers, frequented these state-of-the-art facilities. Included in the elite list of visitors to Winter Park were Chester A. Arthur, Grover Cleveland, Franklin D. Roosevelt, Ronald Regan, Mamie Eisenhower, Barack Obama, Walt Disney, Dean Martin, Frank Sinatra, Ray Charles, Larry King, Hugh Hefner and Lady Bird Johnson. Although some structures were lost over time, several important landmarks have been remodeled, renovated or repurposed, such as:
- Roger House (later the Virginia Inn) - Surrounded by piney woods, orange groves and magnificent views of Lake Osceola, the official opening of the Rogers House coincided with the founding date of Winter Park on April 8, 1882. Today, this is the site of the Cloisters Condominiums.
- Seminole Hotel - The original hotel was completed in January of 1886 and served as a "winter resort" for many millionaires. Located on the western shore of Lake Osceola, the original hotel burned in 1902 but was rebuilt and remained a key attraction until the 1970s when the property was sold for residential development.
- Hamilton House - Built in the 1920s, the Hamilton House on Park Avenue now exists as the Park Plaza Hotel. The Winter Park home renovation of this beautiful facility earned the European-style hotel the city's Beautification Award for restoration of its 1932 balcony.
- Alabama Hotel - Overlooking Lake Maitland, the Alabama Hotel was built in 1921. The mission-style structure had a Hotel California look and featured phones in every room with a refectory and excellent cuisine. The resort was converted to condominiums in the 1970s and the facility's character and charm preserved for future generations.
- The Langford Resort Hotel - When the Langford Hotel was built in 1955, central Florida resorts were only open from November to April. The Langford changed the rules for affluent vacationers from around the world as the first air-conditioned hotel. Because of the unique design and decor, it was deemed too expensive to renovate the hotel and, after five decades, it was torn down. Today, the Alfond Inn at Rollins College (rated as one of Florida's top hotels) occupies the landmark site.
Remodeling Vintage Homes in Winter Park
Winter Park is home to numerous vintage and historic properties, with two designated historic districts:
- College Quarter
- Virginia Heights East
In addition to the two historic districts, homeowners can voluntarily seek to list their property with the Winter Park Register of Historic Places, ensuring their home’s heritage and value are preserved for generations. Either way, many homes in Winter Park possess a charm and character that cannot be replicated by a new construction.
