About Montego Bay Neighborhood
Montego Bay sits in the 34746 ZIP code in the northern corridor of west Kissimmee, positioned just east of North Poinciana Boulevard and accessed via Siesta Lago Drive. Lennar Homes — one of the nation's largest homebuilders — developed the community in a concentrated window between 1989 and 1990, giving Montego Bay a cohesive architectural character that reads as genuinely established rather than piecemeal. The neighborhood's location places it in what many consider Kissimmee's most strategically connected quadrant: near the SR 417 Greeneway for fast access east and south, near US 192 for the Disney corridor, and close enough to I-4 to commute efficiently into the heart of the Orlando metro.
Homes in Montego Bay are single-family residences ranging from approximately 1,095 to 2,766 square feet, with bedroom configurations typically running three to four bedrooms and two to three bathrooms. The scale of these homes — built for the attainable family market of the early 1990s — offers more modest lot sizes than newer estate-style communities, but this translates to lower maintenance burdens and strong rental-market fundamentals. The neighborhood is non-gated, with open access from Siesta Lago Drive connecting naturally to North Poinciana Boulevard and the broader road network.
The HOA provides community amenities that meaningfully punch above the neighborhood's price point: a community pool, clubhouse, tennis courts, basketball courts, fitness facilities, a dog park, and playground — amenities that many comparable-priced neighborhoods in Osceola County lack entirely. Conservation areas buffer portions of the community, and the neighborhood includes water access and waterfront lots on select streets, adding scenic variety at no premium for non-waterfront buyers. The monthly HOA fees are among the lowest in the area, a consistent selling point that has kept Montego Bay attractive across multiple market cycles.
Montego Bay's enduring appeal comes from combining a low-cost-of-ownership structure — no CDD, minimal HOA fees — with rich community amenities and a location just six miles from Walt Disney World. The result is a community that serves primary residents, long-term rental investors, and buyers seeking a well-located Kissimmee foothold at a realistic entry point.

How Montego Bay Compares
Montego Bay occupies a distinctive position in the west Kissimmee market: an established, amenity-rich community with no CDD fee and among the lowest HOA fees in the area, priced substantially below both newer master-planned developments and the gated resort communities along US 192. For buyers seeking a move-in ready home near Disney at a realistic price point — without sacrificing community amenities — Montego Bay consistently outperforms alternatives in its price bracket.
Compared to newer communities like Storey Creek or Kindred, Montego Bay trades new construction finishes for a lower total cost of ownership and a richer existing amenity package. Compared to resort communities like Windsor Hills or Storey Lake, Montego Bay offers primary-residence-optimized living without the burden of resort HOA fees and CDD assessments.

Montego Bay HOA & CDD Information
Montego Bay has a mandatory homeowners association (HOA) that administers the community's amenities and maintains common areas. The HOA covers the community pool, clubhouse, recreational facilities, walking trails, and common landscaping — an unusually rich package for a community with historically modest monthly fees. There is no Community Development District (CDD) in Montego Bay, meaning residents avoid the additional tax-bill assessments common in many newer Osceola County communities.
The low-fee, high-amenity structure of the Montego Bay HOA has been a consistent competitive advantage in the market, keeping the community's total cost of ownership below comparable alternatives across multiple price cycles. If you want to learn more about how HOAs work, our team can walk you through it before you make an offer.
