About Oak Hammock Preserve Neighborhood
Oak Hammock Preserve sits in the Pleasant Hill corridor of southern Kissimmee, accessed from Pleasant Hill Road approximately one mile south of John Young Parkway (US 17/92). Developed by Pulte Homes between 2004 and 2006, the community comprises 347 single-family homesites arranged around a series of landscaped ponds and conservation buffers. The eastern boundary of the neighborhood transitions into marshland that feeds toward Lake Tohopekaliga, giving many homes a sense of natural seclusion uncommon in production-built communities of this era.
Homes in Oak Hammock Preserve include both single-story and two-story floor plans ranging from approximately 1,582 to 3,803 square feet of living space. Configurations span from two to six bedrooms with two to five bathrooms, and all homes include two-car garages and concrete block construction — a hallmark of Pulte's Central Florida builds. Roughly 50 homes enjoy direct pond views, while another 50 back onto lush conservation land, creating a desirable mix of water and nature vistas throughout the community.
A beautifully landscaped entrance lined with mature, moss-draped oak trees sets the tone for the neighborhood's character. The community is not gated, which contributes to an open, welcoming atmosphere while keeping HOA costs moderate. Residents enjoy a community pool, children's playground, small clubhouse, gazebo, and picnic areas — amenities that serve the neighborhood's family-oriented population well. The absence of a CDD fee is a meaningful financial advantage, as many newer Kissimmee communities built in the same corridor carry CDD assessments that can add $2,000 to $4,000 or more to annual homeownership costs.
Oak Hammock Preserve's location puts everyday essentials within easy reach. Pleasant Hill Commons Shopping Center — anchored by a Publix grocery store along with medical offices, banks, and restaurants — is just 1.5 miles away, and the neighborhood sits roughly four miles from Kissimmee Lakefront Park on the shores of Lake Toho.
