About Murano at Westside
Murano at Westside was developed by D.R. Horton — one of the nation's largest homebuilders — between 2018 and 2021 in Kissimmee's western Four Corners growth corridor. The community sits along Westside Boulevard and Florence Villa Grove Road in the 34747 ZIP code, positioned in the wedge between US-192 (W. Irlo Bronson Memorial Highway) to the north and SR-429 (Daniel Webster Western Beltway) providing rapid northbound and southbound beltway access. The community's name draws from Murano, Italy — a nod to the European-inspired design aesthetic D.R. Horton brought to its floor plans in this corridor.
The community encompasses both single-family detached homes and attached townhomes. Single-family homes range from approximately 1,530 to 2,845 square feet of air-conditioned living space, offering 3–5 bedrooms across one- and two-story configurations. Townhomes provide a more compact two-story option in the 1,530–1,674 square foot range with 3 bedrooms and 2.5 bathrooms — an ideal entry point for buyers prioritizing the Westside location at a lower price point. All homes feature D.R. Horton's standard package of 18-inch tile in high-traffic areas, open-concept layouts, and high-efficiency systems.
Unlike the surrounding resort communities — Windsor at Westside and Solara Resort are adjacent — Murano at Westside is explicitly a long-term rental and primary residence community, not a short-term vacation rental community. This distinction makes it a notably different option for buyers who want the Westside location without the resort-community HOA restrictions and fee premiums, and for investors seeking stable long-term tenants rather than vacation rental turnover.
The community is compact by Westside corridor standards, containing several hundred homes across its single-family and townhome sections. The resort-style community pool with water mushroom feature, cabana area, basketball court, clubhouse, fitness center, park, and playground give Murano residents solid amenity access without the elevated costs of a full resort community.

Murano at Westside Amenities & Lifestyle
Murano at Westside delivers a comfortable, well-amenitized neighborhood lifestyle at a price point that stands in striking contrast to the resort communities surrounding it in Kissimmee's Westside corridor. The community's D.R. Horton construction quality, low-maintenance design philosophy, and resort-style community pool create genuine everyday livability for families, working professionals, and retirees who want Disney-area proximity without paying resort-community prices.
The community's long-term rental designation is a meaningful lifestyle differentiator. Neighbors in Murano are primarily owner-occupants and long-term renters — not rotating vacation guests — creating a more stable, community-oriented environment than the short-term rental resort communities that dominate the surrounding Westside corridor. This makes Murano particularly appealing to families with children, buyers relocating for employment at the theme parks or the broader hospitality industry, and retirees who want resort-adjacent living with residential authenticity.
