About building new in Winter Park
Winter Park was founded as a winter resort for wealthy Northerners in the 1880s and has retained its character better than almost any city in Florida. The tree-canopied streets, chain of lakes, and walkable Park Avenue anchor a real estate market where scatter-lot tear-downs are the most common path to new construction. Brightview Homes is headquartered at 480 N Orlando Ave in Winter Park — meaning we build in our home market with all the local knowledge that comes with it.
