About Pennyroyal Neighborhood
Pennyroyal is a newer-construction residential community in the southeast section of Kissimmee, developed and built by Beazer Homes between 2022 and 2024. Addressed on Leaf Lane off Kings Highway, the neighborhood occupies a geographically distinctive position — tucked between two of Osceola County's most iconic bodies of water, with Lake Tohopekaliga to the west and East Lake Tohopekaliga to the east. This placement gives Pennyroyal a natural, lake-adjacent character uncommon in communities built at this price point.
Beazer Homes brought several floor plans to Pennyroyal ranging from approximately 1,948 to 3,200 square feet, primarily four-bedroom designs with a range of two- and three-bathroom configurations. Select plans offer second-floor lofts, providing flexible bonus space that works well as a home office, media room, or play area. The majority of homesites in Pennyroyal were platted with no rear neighbors — backing to ponds or greenspace — a feature that Beazer highlighted as a differentiator during the community's sellout. Energy efficiency is a Beazer hallmark; the company is a ten-time ENERGY STAR® Partner of the Year, and Pennyroyal homes reflect modern construction standards for insulation, HVAC efficiency, and water conservation.
The community includes a neighborhood pool with cabana and playground, giving residents shared resort-style amenities at a modest HOA price point. Sidewalks run throughout, and the surrounding street network connects easily to the Cross Prairie Parkway and Partin Settlement Road corridors, which form the primary east-west connectors in this part of southeast Kissimmee. The Florida Turnpike's Exit 244 — the same interchange that serves communities like Breckenridge and the broader southeast Kissimmee residential corridor — is approximately five minutes from the neighborhood entrance.
Pennyroyal's position in the 34744 ZIP code places it within the same Osceola County school district as many of southeast Kissimmee's most established residential areas, with Partin Settlement Elementary, Neptune Middle School, and Gateway High School serving the community. Downtown Kissimmee, Kissimmee Lakefront Park, and the Big Toho Marina on Lake Tohopekaliga are roughly 15 minutes northwest.

How Pennyroyal Compares
Pennyroyal delivers something genuinely unusual in the Kissimmee new-construction market: Beazer Homes quality and modern floor plans in a between-lakes setting without a CDD assessment layered on top. Most new-construction communities in the Kissimmee growth corridor — particularly along the Turnpike — carry CDD fees that can add $1,500–$4,000 or more annually to ownership costs. Pennyroyal does not, making its total cost of ownership meaningfully lower than comparably priced communities with similar home sizes.
The comparison below places Pennyroyal against two alternatives frequently considered by southeast Kissimmee buyers — the master-planned Kindred community to the north and established resale communities in the Neptune Road area.
| Feature | Pennyroyal | Kindred (Turnpike Corridor) | Established SE Kissimmee Resale |
|---|---|---|---|
| Builder / Year Built | Beazer Homes 2022–2024 | Multiple builders, 2018–present | Various, 1990s–2010s |
| CDD Fee | No | Yes | Varies |
| Home Size | 1,948–3,200 sq ft | 1,600–3,000+ sq ft | 1,200–2,500 sq ft |
| Lake Proximity | Between Lake Toho & East Lake Toho | Not lake-adjacent | Varies |
| Turnpike Access | ~5 min (Exit 244) | ~5 min (Exit 244) | 5–12 min |
| Energy Efficiency | Beazer ENERGY STAR® construction | Modern — varies by builder | Older systems |
💡 Value Proposition: Pennyroyal delivers modern Beazer Homes construction in a between-lakes natural setting without the CDD fees that add thousands of dollars annually to ownership costs in comparable new-construction communities — making it one of the more cost-efficient new-build options in southeast Kissimmee's 34744 corridor.

Pennyroyal HOA & CDD Information
Pennyroyal has a mandatory homeowners association (HOA) that maintains the community pool, cabana, playground, and shared common areas. There is no Community Development District (CDD) — a meaningful financial distinction from many newer communities in the Kissimmee market where CDD assessments are added to the property tax bill annually on top of HOA dues.
The HOA structure at Pennyroyal is relatively straightforward, focused primarily on common area maintenance and the neighborhood pool facility. Beazer Homes established the association during the development process, and management transitioned to homeowner control as the community sold out. For a general overview of how HOA and CDD structures work, see our guides: What's an HOA? and What's a CDD?
