About Parkview at Lakeshore Neighborhood
Parkview at Lakeshore occupies a prime position in southern Kissimmee along the western shore of Lake Tohopekaliga, one of Central Florida's most celebrated natural lakes. The community was developed in multiple phases beginning in 2005, with Avex Homes serving as the primary builder and continuing to offer new construction into the 2020s. The subdivision name reflects its defining characteristic — panoramic views across community ponds and green corridors that lead toward the Toho lakefront.
Homes in Parkview at Lakeshore range from approximately 1,529 to nearly 4,000 square feet, with a mix of three- to five-bedroom single-family residences and select townhome configurations. Architectural styles lean toward contemporary Florida design with stucco exteriors, two-car garages, and open floor plans. Avex Homes offered both front-loaded and alley-loaded configurations, giving the streetscapes a varied and attractive appearance. The community consistently averages around 40 resale transactions annually, making it one of the more active subdivisions in the 34746 corridor.
What distinguishes Parkview at Lakeshore from many neighboring subdivisions is the sheer volume of water features integrated throughout the community. Roughly twelve large ponds are distributed across the development, providing water views for a substantial number of homesites. A community pool area, splash pad, pavilion, tennis courts, volleyball courts, basketball court, playground, and scenic walking trails round out the on-site amenity package — delivering a resort-style experience within a primary residential setting.
The community's eastern boundary approaches Lake Tohopekaliga, giving residents proximity to one of Florida's premier bass fishing destinations and the broader Kissimmee Chain of Lakes waterway system. The nearby Granada Public Boat Ramp provides convenient public launch access to Lake Toho for boating, fishing, and kayaking.

Parkview at Lakeshore HOA & CDD Information
Parkview at Lakeshore has a mandatory homeowners association that manages the community's extensive amenity package, common areas, and shared infrastructure. The HOA covers maintenance of the community pool, splash pad, tennis and volleyball courts, basketball court, playground, pavilion, walking trails, landscaped common areas, and the network of community ponds throughout the development.
A significant financial advantage for Parkview at Lakeshore homeowners is the absence of a Community Development District (CDD) fee. Many newer Kissimmee communities — particularly master-planned developments along the Turnpike corridor — carry CDD assessments that can add $2,000–$5,000 or more annually to a homeowner's cost of living. Parkview at Lakeshore's infrastructure was funded without a CDD, meaning residents benefit from the amenities without this additional tax layer. To learn more about how CDDs work, see our guide to understanding CDD fees.
