About Blackstone Landing Neighborhood
Blackstone Landing occupies a generous footprint on the western side of South Poinciana Boulevard in southwest Kissimmee, stretching nearly one-and-a-quarter miles westward from its main entrance. Developed by Maronda Homes — a regional production builder known for delivering solid, value-oriented floor plans — the community was built in phases from 2004 through 2012. The result is a mature, tree-lined neighborhood of approximately 150 single-family homes that has fully aged into its landscaping and settled into a stable residential character.
Homes in Blackstone Landing are exclusively single-family detached residences — no townhomes or condominiums exist within the community. Floor plans range from compact three-bedroom layouts around 1,200 square feet to spacious five-bedroom homes exceeding 3,000 square feet, giving buyers a wide selection of options at accessible Osceola County price points. The majority of homes feature two-car garages, open living areas, and split-bedroom designs that were hallmarks of Maronda's production during this era. Many properties along the interior streets enjoy direct views of the community's eight large retention ponds, which serve double duty as stormwater management and scenic water features.
The neighborhood's position just north of Poinciana High School makes it especially attractive to families with high school students who want a walkable commute to campus. Blackstone Landing sits within the Reedy Creek Elementary, Horizon Middle, and Poinciana High school zones in the Osceola County School District, keeping all three school levels within a convenient drive. The community's Pleasant Hill Road corridor location also places daily essentials — grocery, medical, dining — within minutes at Pleasant Hill Commons Shopping Center and nearby retail.

Blackstone Landing HOA & CDD Information
Blackstone Landing has a mandatory homeowners association that oversees community standards, common-area maintenance, and pond-area landscaping. The HOA helps maintain the neighborhood's attractive appearance and preserve property values throughout the community. Importantly, Blackstone Landing does not have a Community Development District (CDD) fee — a meaningful financial advantage compared to many newer communities in the Kissimmee area that carry CDD assessments of $2,000–$5,000 or more annually on top of HOA dues.
The absence of a CDD means lower total monthly housing costs for homeowners, making Blackstone Landing particularly attractive to budget-conscious buyers and families who want to maximize their purchasing power.
