Lake Berkley Resort Homes for Sale

About Lake Berkley Resort

Lake Berkley Resort occupies a distinctive position in Kissimmee real estate history: it was the original concept that launched Park Square Homes' vacation resort model, and the floorplans proven here were later adapted for the builder's subsequent resort communities throughout Kissimmee. Constructed between 1999 and 2001 at the intersection of N. Roma Way and Ormskirt Boulevard in ZIP code 34746, the community was purpose-designed for resort-style living — every element from the guard gate to the lakeside nature trail to the bird sanctuary island was intentional.

The community encompasses 172 single-family villa-style homes and 66 two-story townhomes. Single-family homes range from approximately 1,300 to 3,334 square feet, with three to seven bedrooms and two to six-and-a-half bathrooms — a broad range that accommodates everything from cozy vacation retreats to large-party rental properties. Townhomes occupy the 1,277–1,645 square foot range with three to four bedrooms. The majority of homes feature private pools, fully equipped kitchens, game rooms or entertainment areas, and private lanais — standard configurations for a community built around the vacation guest experience.

The three natural lakes that define Lake Berkley Resort's character are one of its rarest assets among Kissimmee's resort communities. The centrepiece is a 14-acre spring-fed fishing lake on the eastern edge of the property, where the larger single-family homes are concentrated and several properties back directly to the water. A second pond sits at the heart of the resort, ringed by homes on all sides. A small island in the center of this pond has become a natural bird sanctuary — at peak season, it is entirely obscured by nesting birds, a genuinely unique sight that longtime owners cite as one of their favorite features. Walking trails connect the lakefronts throughout the resort, and a private fishing dock provides waterway access for residents and guests.

Lake Berkley Resort Location & Connections

Lake Berkley Resort is positioned along the US-192 (West Irlo Bronson Memorial Highway) corridor in central Kissimmee — one of the most strategically located stretches of road in Osceola County. The community entrance is off N. Roma Way, and the resort sits between Oren Brown Road to the west and the Medieval Times entertainment complex to the east along US-192. This positioning delivers exceptional access to the region's entertainment, shopping, and dining infrastructure without requiring guests or residents to navigate complex highway interchanges.

Bordering communities include Seasons to the west, Bellavida Resort adjacent to the east, and Crystal Cove nearby. The Florida Mall, International Drive corridor, and Orlando Vineland Premium Outlets are accessible within a short drive, while the Osceola Parkway provides a toll-road shortcut toward downtown Kissimmee and the Turnpike.

Lake Berkley Resort Amenities & Lifestyle

Lake Berkley Resort delivers a lifestyle that blends genuine Florida lakeside character with resort-caliber amenities — a combination rarely achieved in communities of its era. The three natural lakes create a sense of serene, unhurried space that guests and owners both notice immediately upon entering the guard gate. A nature trail around the lakes, a bird sanctuary island visible from shoreside homes, and a private fishing dock collectively give Lake Berkley a natural warmth that newer concrete-heavy resort communities cannot replicate.

For owners using the property as a short-term rental, the resort's amenity package checks all the boxes that vacation rental guests demand — resort pools, fitness, tennis, basketball, business center, and free public-area Wi-Fi. For full-time or snowbird residents, the gated security, strong HOA maintenance standards, and well-established community character within Kissimmee's US-192 corridor mean daily comfort alongside extraordinary entertainment access. The nearby Medieval Times dinner show is literally a neighbor — a unique talking point for vacation rental marketing.

How Lake Berkley Resort Compares

Buyers considering Lake Berkley Resort typically compare it to other gated short-term rental communities along the US-192 corridor. Lake Berkley's key differentiators are its pioneer status in the market, its natural lake setting (three lakes including a spring-fed fishing lake), the absence of a CDD fee, and its established 25-year track record as both a primary residence and investment property.

Lake Berkley Resort HOA Information

Lake Berkley Resort is governed by a Homeowners Association (HOA) that manages the community's extensive amenity package, maintains the resort's guard-gated security operation, and enforces standards that protect property values for owners across both the single-family villa and townhome sections. The HOA covers two separate associations — one for the main resort (Lake Berkley Resort Village HOA) and one for the townhome section (Lake Berkley Resort Villas HOA) — with slightly different structures and fee schedules reflecting the amenities and maintenance responsibilities of each section.

Lake Berkley Resort does not have a CDD (Community Development District) assessment — a meaningful financial advantage over many newer resort communities in the US-192 corridor where CDD fees add thousands of dollars annually to ownership costs. There is no CDD surcharge on your property tax bill at Lake Berkley.

Because HOA fees, management companies, pet policies, rental restrictions, and governing documents can change, we strongly recommend buyers obtain the full HOA disclosure package before closing. We can pull all current documentation and introduce you directly to the management company. For background on how HOAs work in Florida, our guides on what an HOA is provide useful context.
