About Kindred Neighborhood
Kindred occupies a strategic position in the 34744 ZIP code of southeast Kissimmee, positioned just west of the Florida Turnpike at Exit 242 and south of Neptune Road along the Cross Prairie Parkway corridor. D.R. Horton — America's largest homebuilder — began developing Kindred in the early 2020s, and the community has grown rapidly into one of Osceola County's most sought-after new construction addresses. Its master plan envisions an integrated town with residential villages, commercial uses, office space, and civic facilities all connected by an internal trail and sidewalk network.
Homes at Kindred are offered across more than 14 floor plans, ranging from one-story single-family designs to two-story layouts and townhomes, with living areas spanning approximately 1,500 to 2,988 square feet. All construction is concrete block — both first and second floors where applicable — and every home ships with D.R. Horton's Home is Connected smart home technology package. Interior standards include quartz countertops, luxury vinyl plank flooring, stainless steel appliances, two-car garages, and covered lanais on select plans. Homesites are available with pond, conservation, and tree-line views throughout the community's residential villages.
The Kindred community also has its own dedicated K-8 school — The Kindred K-8 School — operating within the Osceola County School District, giving families a walkable public school option without leaving the neighborhood. This on-site school, combined with the community's internal trail system, resort amenity centers, and Turnpike access, makes Kindred one of the most complete live-work-play environments among all new construction communities currently selling in Osceola County.

How Kindred Compares
Kindred competes directly with Tohoqua and Storey Creek as the three flagship master-planned new construction communities along the Kissimmee Turnpike corridor. What distinguishes Kindred is the scale of its amenity commitment relative to its price point and the presence of an on-site K-8 school — features that typically appear only in larger or more expensive master-planned communities elsewhere in the Orlando metro.
| Feature | Kindred | Tohoqua | Kings Crest |
|---|---|---|---|
| Home Style | New construction (active) | New construction (active) | Established (1991–1995) |
| Home Sizes | ~1,500–2,988 sq ft | ~1,795–3,291 sq ft | ~1,500–2,651 sq ft |
| HOA / CDD | HOA + CDD | HOA + CDD | No HOA / No CDD |
| On-Site School | Yes — Kindred K-8 | Cross Prairie K-8 nearby | Neptune Elementary nearby |
| Community Pools | Multiple resort pools | Resort-style pool | None |
| Gated | No | No | No |
| Turnpike Access | Exit 242 — direct | Exit 242 — direct | Exit 242 — nearby |
💡 Value Proposition: Kindred delivers resort-caliber community amenities, smart home technology, concrete block construction, and an on-site public K-8 school at price points generally below comparable master-planned communities in Lake Nona and Horizon West — while providing Florida Turnpike access that rivals any address in Osceola County for MCO and Lake Nona commuters.

Kindred HOA & CDD Information
Kindred operates under a two-tier governance structure — a Homeowners' Association (HOA) responsible for covenant enforcement and community standards, and a Community Development District (CDD) responsible for financing and maintaining the community's public infrastructure, including roads, stormwater systems, amenity centers, and common spaces. The CDD is established under Florida law and its charges appear as a line item on your annual property tax bill.
The HOA is managed by a professional association management company and is responsible for architectural review, deed restriction enforcement, and day-to-day community affairs. The combination of HOA and CDD is standard for large master-planned communities of Kindred's scale in Osceola County — it is the same structure used by Tohoqua and other major new construction communities along the Turnpike corridor.
