About Avilla Neighborhood
Avilla is a boutique gated community tucked off Flora Boulevard and Cypress Reserve Boulevard in Kissimmee, developed by ICI Homes — a Florida-based luxury builder known for refined design and quality construction. With just 81 home sites, Avilla offers an intimate neighborhood character that is increasingly rare in this part of Osceola County, where larger master-planned communities now dominate. The community's gated entrance, brick-paver driveways, tiled roofs, and lush tropical landscaping give it a distinctly upscale curb appeal from the moment you arrive.
Homes were built between 2007 and 2018 across a range of floor plans, with living areas spanning approximately 1,978 to 4,779 square feet — a breadth of options that accommodates everything from growing families to buyers seeking executive-level space. Floor plans typically feature 4 to 7 bedrooms and 2 to 5.5 bathrooms with 2- to 3-car garages. Many residences include screened lanais and private outdoor pools, extending Florida living well beyond interior walls. The contemporary architectural style blends stucco exteriors, barrel tile roofs, and generous window packages that bring natural light into open floor plans.
The community is thoughtfully set within a natural landscape that sets it apart from cookie-cutter subdivisions. Approximately half of Avilla's homes back to a tranquil community pond with a decorative water feature, providing relaxing views and a sense of space from rear-yard living areas. The remaining homes sit adjacent to wooded conservation areas and green spaces, preserving a genuine buffer of native Florida vegetation. The combination of water views, tree canopies, and gated seclusion makes Avilla feel more private than its central Kissimmee location might suggest.
Residents enjoy shared amenities including a community pool, tot lot, tennis court, and basketball court — a practical amenity package suited to families and active residents alike. The community sits just half a mile from Flora Ridge Elementary School and the Plantation Grove Shopping Center, placing everyday conveniences within an easy walk or quick drive.

Avilla occupies a distinct niche in the Kissimmee market: a boutique ICI Homes community with large floor plans, no CDD fee, and a gated setting adjacent to conservation land — characteristics increasingly hard to find at comparable price points in Osceola County. Buyers comparing Avilla to newer master-planned communities will notice the meaningful difference in community scale and the natural environment that ICI chose for this site.

Avilla HOA & CDD Information
Avilla is governed by a mandatory Homeowners Association that maintains the gated entrance, community pool, tennis court, basketball court, tot lot, and common area landscaping. The HOA structure helps preserve Avilla's upscale aesthetic and ensures that shared amenities remain well-maintained for all residents.
Avilla does not carry a Community Development District (CDD) fee — a meaningful financial advantage compared to many newer Kissimmee communities where CDD assessments add hundreds to thousands of dollars annually to the cost of homeownership. This absence of CDD is one of Avilla's most consistently cited advantages among buyers comparing it to newer master-planned alternatives in the area.
