About Sonoma at Tapestry Neighborhood
Sonoma at Tapestry is a gated single-family community within the larger Tapestry master-planned development, situated in Kissimmee's northern central corridor off West Carroll Street and Dyer Boulevard, just south of West Osceola Parkway. Developed by Park Square Homes between 2014 and 2018, the community contains 121 homesites and stands apart from its Tapestry-district neighbors by permitting short-term vacation rentals — a rare allowance in an otherwise primary-residence-oriented master plan.
The homes in Sonoma at Tapestry are among the largest in the entire Tapestry district, ranging from 1,848 to an impressive 6,404 square feet, with configurations spanning four to fifteen bedrooms and three to fifteen bathrooms. These expansive floor plans were purpose-designed to maximize rental income for investors while simultaneously appealing to large-family buyers seeking generous living spaces. Each home is situated on a generously sized lot that typically includes an oversized pool deck and private pool — a standard feature rather than an upgrade, reinforcing the community's resort identity.
The community is enclosed within its own gated perimeter and features a dedicated clubhouse, resort-style pool with cabanas, fitness center, playground, walking trails, conservation ponds, and wooded natural preserves. Shingle Creek Preserve borders portions of the community, providing a rare backdrop of natural Florida wetland beauty that contrasts beautifully with the community's polished amenity spaces. The 18 different floor plans available from Park Square Homes offer meaningful variety, with notable features including first-floor owner's suites, multiple principal suites, multiple living and gathering spaces, and ultra-premium finish packages suited for discerning vacation home guests.
Because of its short-term rental zoning, Sonoma at Tapestry attracts a diverse buyer pool: investors seeking high-yield vacation rentals, multi-generational families needing large homes, and primary residents who want resort-style living with maximum flexibility. The HOA's all-inclusive fee structure — which typically bundles lawn care, cable, internet, and valet trash pickup — makes the community particularly attractive for absentee investors or vacation homeowners who prefer a turnkey experience.
