What Delaney Park is like

Delaney Park is known for brick streets, large oak trees and a mix of homes built from the 1920s to today. 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 of shaded lawns, ball fields, tennis courts and playgrounds.

The neighborhood is 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. That location suits some buyers and not others, so spend time on the specific street at different hours.

Figures are Zillow's typical home values for August 2026. Delaney Park rose while the citywide figure fell, but a small neighborhood's average can swing with a few large or newly built homes. Ask a local agent for closed sales on comparable lots and house sizes, and compare with College Park and Thornton Park.

Check whether historic rules apply

The City of Orlando's 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 also close by, east of Orange Avenue and south of Gore Street.

Inside those districts, many exterior changes need a Certificate of Appropriateness from the Historic Preservation Board, and major work such as additions or demolition needs a hearing that the city says takes about seven weeks. If the home you like is near those boundaries, confirm its status with the city before you plan a rebuild or addition.

What to check on a Delaney Park home

  • Age and systems. For an older house, get the ages of the roof, electrical panel, plumbing and HVAC, and ask for insurance quotes during your inspection period. See our Florida home inspection checklist.
  • Teardown or new build. Newer homes sit beside 1920s houses. Check permits, the survey and any open code cases on the parcel.
  • Flood zone. Look up the FEMA flood zone for the exact address.
  • Traffic and noise. Visit at shift-change hours near the hospital campus and on game days at the park.
  • 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.

Taxes and ongoing costs

Delaney Park is inside the City of Orlando, so the bill includes city millage on top of Orange County and school taxes. 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. When you're ready to see homes, we can introduce you to a local agent who works south of downtown.
