About Evergreen Neighborhood
Evergreen is a contemporary single-family home community developed by D.R. Horton in the southern Pleasant Hill area of Kissimmee, accessed off Reaves Road just east of S Poinciana Boulevard. Constructed between 2019 and 2021 as part of D.R. Horton's Express Homes line, the community was designed to deliver modern construction quality at an accessible price point — a formula that has made Evergreen one of the more sought-after neighborhoods in the 34746 ZIP code.
The neighborhood features a curated selection of floor plans including the Dakota, Freeport, Aria, Cali, Hayden, Gallen, and Elle models, ranging from compact three-bedroom single-story homes to spacious five-bedroom two-story residences. All homes feature concrete block construction with stucco exteriors, two-car garages, granite countertops, stainless steel appliances, ceramic tile flooring, and D.R. Horton's Home is Connected smart home technology package that allows residents to control lighting, temperature, and security from their phones.
What genuinely distinguishes Evergreen from neighboring subdivisions is its relationship with the natural landscape. The community is bordered by conservation and wetland areas on multiple sides, creating a wooded buffer that provides privacy, wildlife viewing opportunities, and an unusually tranquil setting for a production-home community. Many homesites feature direct conservation or tree-lined views, and the community's internal layout preserves open green spaces that connect to the surrounding natural areas.
Evergreen carries a mandatory HOA but no CDD fee — a meaningful financial distinction in this corridor where newer construction frequently comes with both assessments. The community amenity package includes a playground, splash pad, open green spaces, and pond-view areas, creating gathering points for families and children throughout the neighborhood.

Evergreen Amenities & Lifestyle
