Delaney Park at a glance
Delaney Park is a City of Orlando neighborhood just south of downtown, in the 32806 ZIP. It is known for brick streets, large oak trees and houses built from the 1920s to today. Zillow's typical home value was $748,051 in August 2026, up 2.0% on a year earlier, roughly double the city's $371,120.
It sits close to the Orlando Health medical campus, including Orlando Regional Medical Center and Winnie Palmer Hospital, and to Orlando's Amtrak station, which is also the Orlando Health/Amtrak SunRail stop.
Is Delaney Park a good area to live in?
It suits you if you want an older in-town house close to downtown, the hospital district and a commuter rail stop, and you can budget for the upkeep and price that come with it. It is a weaker fit if you want quiet streets far from traffic, low insurance costs or a newer home at a lower price.
Location on the grid matters. Spend time on the specific street at shift-change hours near the hospital campus and on game days at the park before you decide.
What Delaney Park is known for
Delaney Park, the park
The neighborhood takes its name from the city park at its center. Delaney Park the park is one of Orlando's oldest: it was called Duckworth Park until 1959 and covers 7.25 acres at 1055 Delaney Avenue, with shaded lawns, ball fields, tennis courts and playgrounds.
Brick streets and oaks
The brick, oak-lined streets are the neighborhood's calling card and a reason houses here price above the citywide figure.
Nearby historic districts
The Lake Cherokee Historic District lies just to the north; its southern boundary follows Cherokee Drive, Euclid Avenue, Delaney Avenue and Gore Street. Lake Copeland, another local historic district, is east of Orange Avenue and south of Gore Street.
Homes and prices in Delaney Park
Original 1920s to 1950s houses
Older homes need the full set of checks: the ages of the roof, electrical panel, plumbing and HVAC, and insurance quotes during your inspection period. See our Florida home inspection checklist.
Newer builds and teardowns
Newer homes sit beside 1920s houses. Check permits, the survey and any open code cases on the parcel, and if you plan to rebuild near the historic district boundaries, confirm the parcel's status with the city first. Inside those districts, major work such as additions or demolition needs a hearing that the city says takes about seven weeks.

Living in Delaney Park
Shops and dining
Downtown Orlando's restaurants and venues are a short trip north. Check what is within walking distance of the specific block, since commercial frontage is concentrated on the main roads.
Parks
Delaney Park is the neighborhood's green space. The city rents out its athletic fields, so check event schedules if you are buying next to it.
Schools
Use Orange County Public Schools' Find My School tool for the exact address. See best schools in Orlando for how to read school grades.
Getting around
The Orlando Health/Amtrak SunRail station gives a rail option north through downtown, with one-way fares of $2.00 within Orange County. Driving is still the main way around, and traffic near the hospital campus peaks at shift changes.
Costs of owning in Delaney Park
Property tax
Delaney Park is inside the City of Orlando, so the bill includes city millage on top of Orange County and school taxes; the most common city mill code totaled 18.0878 mills in 2025. The seller's bill will not reflect your costs if they have a homestead exemption or a capped assessment. Use the Orange County property tax guide to estimate your bill at your purchase price.
HOA fees
Most homes are on older platted streets without a mandatory HOA. Ask the seller to confirm, and check the title commitment for any recorded restrictions.
Flood and insurance
Look up the FEMA flood zone for the exact address. Citizens reported an average HO-3 premium of $2,789 in Orange County in its 2026 filing, and older roofs push quotes up.
