You are correct Sir, it is Eola. There are amazingly beautiful, old school neighborhoods to the East, South, and NW of Downtown that would remind you of Winter Park - but even older. Orlando has residential neighborhoods that would blow most people here away - many of them historic.
Tampa is the same way. It is older and larger, and has just as many older hoods.
The same goes for Jacksonville.
I happen to be very biased in favor of Orlando, though. I went through most of High School there.
