About Tapestry Neighborhood
Tapestry is a 250-acre master-planned community in western Kissimmee, developed beginning around 2014 across multiple phases. The primary builder, Mattamy Homes, is responsible for the bulk of the community's 1,076 single-family and townhome residences, though early phases also included Beazer Homes product. Tapestry's location at West Carroll Street and Palisade Boulevard places it directly across from The Loop on John Young Parkway, giving residents extraordinary day-to-day retail convenience without sacrificing the privacy and security of a guard-gated environment.
The community's layout weaves through conservation ponds and Shingle Creek Preserve corridors that thread through the property — a design philosophy that creates natural buffer zones, water views, and wildlife-facing rear exposures for a substantial portion of the homes. Architectural styles span Florida Traditional, Craftsman, Coastal, and Contemporary, giving Tapestry's streetscapes a more visually varied feel than communities built to a single elevation standard. Homes on 40-foot, 50-foot, and 60-foot homesites offer meaningful lot variety, and townhome options provide a lower-entry-point alternative within the same guard-gated address.
What truly distinguishes Tapestry in the western Kissimmee market is the scale and quality of its central amenity campus. The community's clubhouse complex includes a resort-style zero-entry pool with a water slide, a dedicated splash pad, a full fitness center, a multipurpose ballroom, an activity room with a catering kitchen, and an open-air veranda — a package more commonly associated with 55+ active adult communities than a general-market suburban development. Sports fields, a dog park, BBQ pavilions, a fire pit, a playground, and scenic nature trails round out an amenity roster that makes the community genuinely self-contained for many recreational purposes. For residents with school-aged children, Renaissance Charter School at Tapestry — a K–8 campus — sits immediately adjacent to the community entrance on West Carroll Street.

Tapestry Location & Connections
Tapestry occupies a prime western Kissimmee position bounded roughly by West Carroll Street to the west, Palisade Boulevard internally, Dyer Boulevard to the north, Osceola Parkway to the south, and North Thacker Avenue to the east. This geographic positioning places the community at one of western Kissimmee's best-connected intersections — directly across from The Loop shopping center on John Young Parkway, within a mile of Osceola Village (Publix), and with immediate access to Osceola Parkway for toll-road connectivity in both directions.
SR 417 (the Greeneway) is reachable within minutes, providing a north-south expressway connection to Orlando International Airport, the UCF corridor, Lake Nona Medical City, and the broader I-4 corridor.

How Tapestry Compares
Tapestry holds a distinctive position in western Kissimmee's master-planned community landscape. It is large enough to offer a full resort amenity campus — something smaller communities simply cannot justify — yet remains fully built-out and established, meaning buyers get the benefit of completed infrastructure, mature plantings, and a functioning community social scene from day one. It occupies the middle ground between smaller gated communities like Stonefield (established but less amenitized) and the newest Turnpike-corridor master-plans like Tohoqua (highly amenitized but far from established).
The key tradeoff for Tapestry buyers relative to surrounding options is the presence of a CDD fee — a financial obligation that should be factored into total cost of ownership comparisons with non-CDD communities. Buyers who prioritize amenity access, guard-gated security, and the direct proximity to The Loop and Osceola Parkway typically find that Tapestry's overall value proposition justifies that tradeoff.
| Feature | Tapestry | Stonefield | Enclave at Tapestry |
|---|---|---|---|
| Year Built | 2014–2021 | 1999–2002 | 2015–2019 |
| Builder | Mattamy / Beazer | Pulte Homes | KB Homes |
| Total Homes | 1,076 | 381 | 175 |
| Home Size Range | 1,525–3,279 sq ft | 1,492–3,270 sq ft | 1,972–3,733 sq ft |
| Guard-Gated | Yes (24-hour guard) | Yes (gated, no guard) | No (ungated) |
| CDD Fee | Yes | No | Yes |
| Resort Pool / Slide / Splash Pad | Yes | Pool only | Pool / pavilion only |
| Townhome Option | Yes | Yes (villas) | No |
| Adjacent Charter School (K–8) | Yes | No | No |
💡 Value Proposition: Tapestry delivers the broadest amenity package and the highest security standard (24-hour guard-gated) of any community in the immediate western Kissimmee corridor — paired with an unmatched location directly across from The Loop and adjacent to Shingle Creek Preserve — making it the benchmark master-planned community for this part of Osceola County.

Tapestry HOA & CDD Information
Tapestry is governed by a Homeowners Association that manages the community's guard-gated entry, resort amenity campus, common area landscaping, conservation area maintenance, and community events programming. As a Mattamy Homes master-planned development completed across multiple phases from 2014 through 2021, the HOA is a professionally structured organization with the infrastructure to manage a community of more than 1,000 homes. Monthly community events, facility reservations for the ballroom and catering kitchen, and ongoing amenity upkeep are all HOA responsibilities.
Tapestry carries a Community Development District (CDD) fee in addition to the monthly HOA. CDD fees in master-planned communities are assessed as part of property taxes to fund the infrastructure bonds that financed roads, utilities, and community amenities during construction. This is a standard structure for master-planned communities of Tapestry's scale in Florida, and the fee reflects the community's investment in its resort-quality amenity campus. Buyers should factor the current CDD amount — which appears on the annual property tax bill — into their total monthly ownership cost calculation. To learn more about how CDDs work, see our guide to what's a CDD and the companion what's an HOA guide.
