About Preserve at Tapestry Neighborhood
Preserve at Tapestry is a gated single-family community built by Beazer Homes and situated within the broader Tapestry corridor of northern central Kissimmee, just off Dyer Boulevard south of West Osceola Parkway. Development ran from approximately 2013 through 2016, resulting in a neighborhood of consistent architectural character featuring one- and two-story homes designed under Beazer's Energy Star standards. The community is distinct from the larger Tapestry master-planned community immediately to the north — it is a separate, self-contained gated neighborhood that shares the Tapestry corridor's location advantages without being part of Tapestry's guard-gated amenity center.
Homes in Preserve at Tapestry were built across eleven different floor plans ranging from approximately 1,630 to 3,509 square feet under air. Floor plans offer three to five bedrooms and two to four bathrooms, with features that reflect mid-2010s new construction: open-plan main living spaces, owner's suites with walk-in closets, dine-in kitchens, upper story lofts on two-story plans, and energy-efficient systems. Many lots back to conservation ponds — one of the community's most requested features — providing a natural backdrop that buffers rear yards from neighboring properties.
The setting places Preserve at Tapestry adjacent to the Shingle Creek watershed, the ecologically significant headwaters system that flows south toward the Everglades. Natural wooded areas and conservation ponds are visible throughout the neighborhood, giving Preserve at Tapestry a more naturalistic feel than typical suburban developments in the corridor. Flora Ridge Elementary School is approximately one mile from the community entrance — a rare walkable-school proximity for Kissimmee families.

Preserve at Tapestry Location & Connections
Preserve at Tapestry is located in northern central Kissimmee, accessed via Dyer Boulevard south of West Osceola Parkway. The community sits within a natural corridor framed by the Shingle Creek Preserve to the west and northwest, conservation ponds along the community perimeter, and the growing residential cluster that includes Tapestry, Stonefield, and Flora Ridge. West Osceola Parkway provides a direct toll road link westward to the Walt Disney World area and eastward to the Florida Turnpike — giving residents exceptional regional connectivity with minimal traffic compared to the US 192 surface street corridor.
The community's position places it approximately 1.6 miles from the US 192 corridor, bringing Kissimmee's extraordinary density of dining, retail, and entertainment within a 5-minute drive without subjecting residents to the daily traffic of living directly on the resort strip. The Loop shopping center is approximately 10 minutes north on John Young Parkway, and Shingle Creek Regional Park — with kayaking, hiking, and wildlife corridors — is approximately 2.5 miles away.

How Preserve at Tapestry Compares
Preserve at Tapestry occupies a thoughtful middle ground in the Kissimmee single-family market. Buyers comparing it to the larger Tapestry community directly to the north will find a trade-off: Preserve at Tapestry lacks Tapestry's expansive guard-gated amenity center (zero-entry pool with slide, fitness center, ballroom, etc.) but offers comparable home sizes, a conservation-forward setting, and generally lower price points — along with no guard gate overhead in the HOA. Against Stonefield next door, the communities are similar in age and gating, but Preserve at Tapestry's Beazer Homes construction is well-regarded and the community's pond/conservation lot availability is a meaningful differentiator.
For families prioritizing Flora Ridge Elementary proximity and the West Osceola Parkway toll road connection — especially for Disney employment commuters — Preserve at Tapestry is among the most strategically located gated communities in the 34741 ZIP code.

Preserve at Tapestry HOA & CDD Information
Preserve at Tapestry is governed by the Preserve at Tapestry Homeowners Association, which oversees the community's gated access, pool and cabana, playground, dog park, trails, and common area maintenance. The HOA has historically maintained fees that are competitive relative to similarly amenitized gated communities in Kissimmee.
