Kissimmee FL Real Estate

Kissimmee's spirit is young and dynamic, a town relishing its very special place under the vacationland sun! Situated on Disney's doorstep, Kissimmee attracts new residents wanting to be part of the action at the attractions. Tourism has brought a dramatic increase in employment, primarily in the service and related industries. In addition, banking, manufacturing, and light industry are contributing to the city's vitality.

Lake Tohopekaliga, or "Lake Toho," is the setting for great fishing tournaments, while boat tours along the scenic Kissimmee Chain of Lakes are among the best in Central Florida. The Osceola Center for the Arts and the nearby Tupperware Center are sites of outstanding concerts and theatrical performances. On a historical note, the Osceola County Courthouse, built in 1889, is still serving the public today.

Residential growth is soaring with single family homes, condos and upscale neighborhoods fast appearing. Golf-front homes and lakeside estates also makeup a large part of this boom! Because of Kissimmee's proximity to the attractions, the short-term rental market is growing. The Kissimmee area also features mobile home communities, ample acreage and horse ranches.

Kissimmee real estate has grown exponentially over the past six years. Osceola County, home to Kissimmee/St. Cloud was recently recognized as the tenth fastest growing county in the nation!

Blessed with a rich heritage and cultural diversity, Kissimmee/St. Cloud and Osceola County offer the best of all worlds to both residents and visitors alike.

Our convenient location right next door to Walt Disney World Resort, Sea World Orlando and Universal Orlando Resort puts you right in the middle of all the fun the heartland of Central Florida has to offer!
