About Chatham Park
Chatham Park is a residential single-family neighborhood in the northern portion of West Kissimmee, accessed from Siesta Lago Drive just east of N Poinciana Boulevard. The community was built in the early-to-mid 1990s, with the vast majority of its homes constructed between 1991 and 1995. This era of Osceola County development was characterized by practical, well-proportioned single-story and two-story homes on modest lots — designed to serve working families who valued proximity to the US 192 employment corridor and the growing theme park industry without paying premium resort-community prices.
Homes in Chatham Park range from approximately 1,116 to 2,099 square feet, encompassing two- to four-bedroom floor plans across several distinct phases of development — including the Chatham Park at Sausalito sections that expanded the community. The community is non-gated, giving it an open, accessible neighborhood feel that many residents prefer over the controlled-entry environment of nearby resort communities. The overall character is quiet, family-friendly, and practical: a genuine residential neighborhood rather than a vacation-use development.
One of Chatham Park's most distinctive natural assets is its private fishing lake situated within or adjacent to the community's conservation area buffer. This lake — accessible to residents — provides a peaceful water feature and casual fishing opportunity uncommon in this segment of the Kissimmee market. Conservation areas bordering portions of the community provide additional green-space buffers and habitat, contributing to the neighborhood's quiet, tree-lined character. Most homes feature private outdoor pools with screened lanais, allowing residents to enjoy Florida's outdoor lifestyle on their own terms.
The community's HOA maintains a modest set of shared amenities appropriate to its neighborhood scale, including a community pool, tennis court, basketball court, volleyball court, and a children's playground. These facilities provide meaningful recreational options without the high monthly fees associated with resort-style communities. Chatham Park does not carry a CDD fee, which further contributes to its value proposition for primary-residence buyers seeking affordable, well-located Kissimmee homeownership.

Chatham Park Location & Connections
Chatham Park is positioned in the North area of West Kissimmee, accessed from Siesta Lago Drive just east of N Poinciana Boulevard. This location sits comfortably within the residential fabric of western Osceola County — approximately 0.5 miles from US 192 (West Irlo Bronson Memorial Highway), which provides the primary commercial artery connecting residents to shopping, dining, employment, and theme park access throughout Kissimmee and the Disney corridor.
The community benefits from nearby access to SR 417 (the Greeneway), which connects westward through the Celebration corridor to I-4 near Walt Disney World, and eastward through Hunters Creek, Meadow Woods, and Lake Nona — making Chatham Park a well-connected choice for residents commuting in multiple directions. The private fishing lake and conservation area buffers within and adjacent to the community ensure that Chatham Park retains a quieter, more natural character than its central location in the resort zone might suggest.

Chatham Park HOA & CDD Information
Chatham Park operates under a mandatory Homeowners Association (HOA) that oversees community standards and maintains shared amenities including the community pool, sports courts, and playground. The HOA is governed by an elected board and contracts with an association management company for day-to-day community operations. Chatham Park does not have a Community Development District (CDD) — meaning buyers are not subject to CDD tax assessments on their annual property tax bills, which is a meaningful cost advantage compared to many Kissimmee communities developed after 2000.
