Osceola Village Center Homes for Sale

About Osceola Village Center Neighborhood

Osceola Village Center is a 163-acre planned unit development situated along South John Young Parkway in southern Kissimmee, approved by the City of Kissimmee in 2021 and developed through a phased construction program beginning that year. The project was originally master-planned by developer Richard Wohlfarth and rezoned as a mixed-use PUD, with the residential portion — entitled for 147 detached single-family home lots and 200 townhomes — sold to Avex Homes (subsequently acquired by Stanley Martin Homes) and D.R. Horton, respectively. The result is a purpose-built community offering brand-new construction with modern floor plans at a location that overlooks Lake Tohopekaliga and borders the Shingle Creek Regional Trail system.

Stanley Martin Homes builds the single-family detached homes at Osceola Village Center, offering both one- and two-story floor plans with high ceilings, ceramic tile flooring, two-car garages, stainless steel appliances, granite countertops, and energy-efficient construction. D.R. Horton's townhomes — marketed as Osceola Village Townhomes — are two-story concrete block homes with 3 bedrooms, 2.5 bathrooms, and 1-car garages ranging from approximately 1,673 to 1,758 heated square feet. All homes include D.R. Horton's Home Is Connected smart-home technology package, paver driveways, and spacious front porches that complement the community's pedestrian-friendly streetscape design.

The Osceola Village Center Community Development District (CDD) was established March 31, 2021 by Kissimmee City Commission Ordinance No. 3039, giving the community a formal governance structure for maintaining infrastructure improvements and community-wide amenities. The overall development plan also includes a multifamily apartment component and a 12.5-acre commercial parcel, which will include a Publix-anchored retail center, Everest Rehabilitation Hospital, and supporting retail — creating a walkable mixed-use environment at the site over time.

Osceola Village Center Location & Connections

Osceola Village Center occupies a 163-acre site along South John Young Parkway (US 17-92) in southern Kissimmee, positioned between Pleasant Hill Road to the south and the Shingle Creek corridor to the north. The community's eastern boundary opens toward Lake Tohopekaliga, with Thacker Lagoon providing wetland buffer and scenic water views from select locations within the development. The Shingle Creek Regional Trail passes along the community's northern edge, giving residents direct trail access to one of Central Florida's most significant multi-use greenway systems connecting toward downtown Kissimmee's lakefront.

Access to major highways is excellent from this location. Florida's Turnpike (SR 91) is directly accessible from Osceola Parkway just north of the community, while US 17-92 (John Young Parkway) itself provides a north-south corridor connecting to downtown Kissimmee and the broader US 192 tourist corridor. SR 417 (Central Florida GreeneWay) access is available via Osceola Parkway within minutes, making both Orlando International Airport and Lake Nona Medical City accessible in a single non-highway leg of the drive. The community's position just south of downtown Kissimmee also places it close to the city's lakefront park, marina, restaurants, and cultural institutions along Broadway.

Osceola Village Center Amenities & Lifestyle

Osceola Village Center is designed for residents who want the benefits of brand-new construction — modern finishes, energy efficiency, and smart-home integration — in a location that puts Kissimmee's greatest natural assets within reach. The community's proximity to Lake Tohopekaliga and the Shingle Creek Regional Trail means that world-class bass fishing, kayaking, hiking, and waterfront recreation are not a long drive but a daily opportunity. The Shingle Creek trail along the community's northern boundary is part of a 32-mile regional greenway connecting to downtown Kissimmee's Kissimmee Lakefront Park and the Big Toho Marina.

For everyday conveniences, The Loop outdoor shopping mall on John Young Parkway is just minutes north, and the planned Publix-anchored commercial center within the Osceola Village Center development itself will eventually bring grocery access to the walkable perimeter of the community. Downtown Kissimmee's revitalized Broadway corridor — with its independent restaurants, lakefront parks, weekend farmers markets, and Osceola Arts performances — is accessible in under ten minutes by car, giving residents a genuine urban amenity experience without sacrificing the security and quiet of a planned neighborhood setting.

How Osceola Village Center Compares

Osceola Village Center occupies a niche that few Kissimmee communities can claim: brand-new construction by recognized national builders, positioned directly on the Lake Tohopekaliga and Shingle Creek waterfront corridor, at a price point that remains accessible for first-time buyers and move-up buyers alike. While a CDD assessment is part of the ownership equation, the combination of modern construction warranties, smart-home technology, and immediate access to two major natural amenity corridors differentiates Osceola Village Center from comparable new-construction options in more inland Kissimmee locations.

Osceola Village Center HOA & CDD Information

Osceola Village Center was established with a Community Development District (CDD) — the Osceola Village Center CDD — created on March 31, 2021 by City of Kissimmee Ordinance No. 3039. The CDD functions as a special-purpose local government authorized under Florida Statute Chapter 190, and is responsible for financing, acquiring, operating, and maintaining community infrastructure improvements including roads, utilities, stormwater systems, and shared amenities. CDD assessments appear on the annual property tax bill as a separate line item alongside regular county property taxes.

In addition to the CDD, residents are subject to homeowners' association governance — with separate HOA documents applicable to the single-family home section (Stanley Martin) and the townhome section (D.R. Horton). The HOA governs architectural standards, landscaping, and use restrictions within the residential areas. Both the HOA and CDD components represent the typical governance structure for planned new-construction communities in Osceola County.
