ORANGE COUNTY, Fla. – Orange County leaders gathered Thursday to celebrate the grand opening of The Enclave at Canopy Park, a new 104-unit affordable apartment community located at 4440 Canopy Park Loop in Orlando.
The Enclave at Canopy Park marks the fourth affordable housing community supported by Orange County’s Affordable Housing Trust Fund to open in 2026. It follows the completion of the 192-unit Whispering Oaks, the 156-unit Barnett Villas and the 90-unit Residences at Emerald Villas.
The county invested $3 million from the Trust Fund to support the project. The community offers one- and two-bedroom apartment homes to households earning between 22% and 80% of the Area Median Income, with rents as low as $400 per month for qualifying households and average rents just over $1,200 per month.
“When we’re able to reduce the rent payments for those individuals and make at least the housing part of it more affordable for them, we can touch lives everyday,” Orange County Mayor Jerry Demings said.
Orlando-based developer Archway Partners has permanently set aside one apartment home at no cost for a local law enforcement officer to support neighborhood safety.
The Enclave at Canopy Park also partners with local nonprofit organizations to provide supportive services for young adults aging out of foster care and individuals and families transitioning out of homelessness. Resident services focus on promoting long-term housing stability, employment, education and financial independence.
The community features a community center, fitness center, technology lab, gathering spaces, Tesla electric vehicle charging stations and a public art program with murals and sculptures created by local artists. Individual apartment homes include granite countertops, luxury vinyl plank flooring, full-size kitchen appliances and energy-efficient construction.
The development has earned National Green Building Standard (NGBS) Emerald Certification — the program’s highest level — recognizing its energy-efficient design, healthier living environment and lower long-term operating costs that help preserve affordability for years to come.
