Located just one mile outside of Downtown and 0.5 mile South of the Orlando Art Museum, the name stems from the location's intersecting roads of Mills Ave and State Road 50.

Many of the buildings and homes maintain their original fronts and facades, creating a unique and charming feel.

The district is built upon a foundation of 5 pillars: 1) Creativity 2) Health 3) Unity 4) Balance 5) Diversity- all of which are reflected in its culture, people, and architecture.
