Orlando City Neighborhoods

I will attempt to give a list and brief description of all of the neighborhoods of the inner, older parts of Orlando, with a brief thumbnail sketch of each, to be followed later, where possible, with a more in depth article about some of the more important ones.
Downtown- An area roughly bounded by Gore Street on the south, Summerlin Avenue on the east, Parramore on the west and Lake Ivanhoe on the north. This is the heart of the city and contains all the important centers of government, many high and mid-rise condo towers,almost all the bank headquarters and other major office buildings. Other highlights include the old and new arenas, the main library, Eola Park, the BobCarr and site of the new performing art center. Orlando's downtown is quite unique in having a lively night scene. The clubs and restaurants there make the traffic at night heavier than during the day!
