About Heritage Run
Heritage Run occupies a strategic position in Kissimmee's east side, established along Fortune Road in the heart of the 34744 ZIP code corridor that has quietly become one of Osceola County's most significant growth zones. D.R. Horton developed Heritage Run beginning around 2008, constructing approximately 100 townhomes on a compact, private loop that gives the community a distinctly intimate feel — neighbors recognize each other, and the community's modest scale keeps common areas well-maintained and social connections genuine.
The homes themselves reflect D.R. Horton's commitment to full block construction — a meaningful quality marker in the Florida market — with three floor plans ranging from roughly 1,788 to 2,144 square feet of total area. Floor plans accommodate four bedrooms and 2.5 bathrooms across two stories, with open-concept living and dining areas on the first floor, covered lanais for outdoor enjoyment, and practical details like granite countertops and brand-name appliances that hold up well over time. The community was built out and has been sold out since completion, which means Heritage Run's resale market is shaped by genuine owner-occupant and investor demand rather than builder incentives.
Gated access is a meaningful feature in this part of Kissimmee, where the Fortune Road and US 192 corridors support considerable through-traffic. The gate, combined with the community's loop-street layout, creates a calm residential environment insulated from the activity of the surrounding commercial and institutional uses. The community pool and playground are well-positioned within the loop, making them accessible from all homes without requiring a car. No CDD fee is a concrete financial advantage over the newer master-planned communities along the Florida Turnpike corridor, which often carry annual CDD assessments of several thousand dollars layered on top of HOA dues.
The immediate surroundings have evolved considerably since Heritage Run was built. The NeoCity technology district — Osceola County's flagship advanced manufacturing and semiconductor research campus — is effectively on Heritage Run's doorstep, as is Osceola Heritage Park, home to the Silver Spurs Arena, Osceola County Stadium, and a major event venue that draws tens of thousands of visitors annually. Valencia College's Osceola Campus is also close by along US 192, reinforcing the area's identity as an education and innovation cluster that continues to attract employers and residents alike.

Heritage Run Location & Connections
Heritage Run sits in the Fortune Road corridor of east Kissimmee, just north of US Highway 192 (Irlo Bronson Memorial Highway) and positioned between the Michigan Avenue corridor to the north and the Osceola Heritage Park campus to the southeast. The community is framed by Teton Drive and Mohegan Boulevard — residential streets that buffer Heritage Run from heavier commercial traffic — while maintaining quick access to every major route in the region.
Florida's Turnpike is accessible at both Exit 244 and Exit 249 within minutes of Heritage Run, giving residents express corridor access north to Orlando International Airport and south toward Poinciana and beyond. This dual-exit proximity is a practical advantage that residents use daily for work commutes. The location also places Heritage Run directly adjacent to the fast-growing NeoCity technology and semiconductor district — making it one of the few established residential communities with a genuine walking-distance relationship to one of Florida's most significant economic development projects.

Heritage Run Amenities & Lifestyle
Heritage Run's lifestyle is defined by its gated, low-maintenance character in one of east Kissimmee's most accessible locations. The townhome format means exterior maintenance is managed by the HOA — a meaningful quality-of-life benefit for working professionals, families, and anyone who prefers spending weekends enjoying Florida rather than maintaining a lawn. The community's pool and playground create a natural gathering point where neighbors interact, and the quiet loop-street layout means Heritage Run feels like a private enclave even though it sits just moments from US 192 and the Turnpike.
The surrounding area offers an exceptionally diverse range of activities for residents. Kissimmee's entertainment, dining, parks, and cultural venues are all within a short drive, and the proximity to NeoCity, Osceola Heritage Park, and Valencia College gives the neighborhood a forward-looking, community-oriented energy that sets it apart from purely residential developments of similar scale elsewhere in Osceola County.

How Heritage Run Compares
Heritage Run occupies a distinct niche in the east Kissimmee townhome market: a sold-out, gated D.R. Horton community with no CDD fees and a location that is genuinely difficult to replicate at similar price points. In an area where newer master-planned communities routinely carry CDD assessments of $2,000–$5,000 per year, Heritage Run's absence of a CDD creates meaningful long-term savings for owners.
Compared to similar townhome communities along the US 192 corridor and the Florida Turnpike growth zone, Heritage Run's boutique scale (approximately 100 homes) means lower density and a more established community character. Resale prices in the $350,000–$380,000 range reflect solid value for full-block construction townhomes in a gated setting this close to NeoCity, Osceola Heritage Park, and two Turnpike interchanges.
| Feature | Heritage Run | Newer Turnpike-Corridor Townhomes | Remington (East Kissimmee) |
|---|---|---|---|
| Community Type | Gated townhomes | Open or gated townhomes | Gated single-family / golf |
| CDD Fee | No CDD | Often yes ($2,000–$4,000+/yr) | Varies by section |
| Builder | D.R. Horton (block construction) | Varies (frame or block) | Various (established community) |
| Home Size Range | ~1,788–2,144 sq ft | ~1,600–2,200 sq ft | ~1,600–3,500 sq ft |
| Community Scale | ~100 homes (boutique) | Often 200–500+ units | Large master-planned community |
| Distance to NeoCity | Under 1 mile | 2–8+ miles | 4–6 miles |
| Turnpike Access | Dual exits (244 & 249) within 2 mi | 1–3 miles to Turnpike | 2–4 miles to Turnpike |
💡 Value Proposition: Heritage Run delivers gated, no-CDD townhome living in east Kissimmee's fastest-evolving technology and employment corridor — with D.R. Horton block construction, a boutique community scale of ~100 homes, and simultaneous access to two Florida Turnpike interchanges, NeoCity, and Osceola Heritage Park — at resale price points that undercut newer development in the same area by a meaningful margin.

Heritage Run HOA & CDD Information
Heritage Run is governed by a homeowners association that manages the community's gated access, common area landscaping, pool, playground, and the exterior maintenance responsibilities that come with townhome living. The HOA structure is one of Heritage Run's most practical features: exterior upkeep — including lawn care, landscaping, and building exterior maintenance — is handled on behalf of residents, significantly reducing the time and cost demands of homeownership compared to a comparable single-family detached home.
Critically, Heritage Run carries no Community Development District (CDD) fee. In a Kissimmee market where newer master-planned communities often layer CDD assessments of $2,000 to $5,000 or more annually on top of HOA dues, Heritage Run's absence of a CDD represents a genuine and lasting cost advantage for buyers comparing the total carrying cost of homeownership across communities.
Heritage Run's HOA does allow pets — both dogs and cats are permitted. For current details on breed or size restrictions, please contact us. The HOA's architectural guidelines govern exterior modifications, including additions, paint choices, and structural changes, to maintain the community's cohesive appearance and protect property values.

HOA fees and management company information often change.
