About The Fountains Neighborhood
Officially platted as "The Fountains on Pleasant Hill Road," this Kissimmee community was developed in two units during the late 1990s, with homes constructed between 1995 and 2000 by various custom home builders. Unlike the production-built subdivisions that dominate Osceola County's newer corridors, The Fountains features individually designed concrete block and stucco homes with composition shingle roofs, above-average construction quality ratings according to county assessor records, and floor plans that vary from home to home rather than repeating a handful of builder models.
The community's defining physical feature is the central pond with its decorative fountain — a natural water feature that provides scenic views for surrounding lots and serves as a stormwater management amenity. Conservation and wetland areas border portions of the community, adding buffer space and privacy while supporting the area's natural ecology. Lots in The Fountains are substantial, with most measuring approximately half an acre (21,000–22,000 square feet), providing homeowners with generous yard space for pools, outdoor living, workshops, and gardening.
Homes in The Fountains range from approximately 1,260 to 2,154 square feet of living space, with 3 to 4 bedrooms and 2 to 3 bathrooms. Many include attached two-car garages, vaulted ceilings, split floor plans, and covered patios overlooking the spacious lots. The absence of HOA governance means homeowners maintain full autonomy over their properties — there are no association dues, no architectural review restrictions, and no CDD assessments layered onto the property tax bill.
The Fountains sits in the Pleasant Hill corridor of south-central Kissimmee, near Valencia College's Poinciana Campus and the Village Shops at Bellalago retail center. This location provides a peaceful residential environment with convenient access to the services and commuting routes that connect southern Kissimmee to the broader Orlando metropolitan area.

How The Fountains Compares
The Fountains occupies a unique niche in the Kissimmee housing market — it combines custom-built concrete block construction on half-acre lots with zero recurring HOA or CDD fees. This profile is extremely difficult to replicate in newer communities, where half-acre lots are virtually nonexistent and combined monthly fees often add $300–$700 to the cost of ownership. For buyers who prioritize land, construction quality, and financial flexibility, The Fountains presents a compelling value proposition.
| Feature | The Fountains | Bellalago | Newer Master-Planned |
|---|---|---|---|
| Typical Lot Size | 0.50 acres | 0.15–0.25 acres | 0.10–0.15 acres |
| Construction | Custom Concrete Block | Production Builder | Production Builder |
| HOA Fee | None | $200–$350/mo | $150–$350/mo |
| CDD Fee | None | Yes | Yes ($150–$350/mo) |
| Home Age | 1995–2000 | 2006–2015 | 2018–Present |
| Gated | No | Yes | Varies |
| Community Amenities | Pond/Fountain | Pool, Marina, Clubhouse | Pool, Clubhouse, Fitness |
💡 Value Proposition: The Fountains delivers half-acre lots and custom concrete block construction at a fraction of the total monthly cost of newer communities. Buyers who prioritize land area and financial freedom over resort amenities and gated access will find The Fountains among the strongest values in the Pleasant Hill corridor.

The Fountains HOA & CDD Information
The Fountains does not have a homeowners association. There are no monthly dues, no architectural review boards, and no management company. Property maintenance responsibilities — including landscaping, exterior upkeep, and any improvements — are the sole domain of each individual homeowner, subject only to Osceola County code enforcement standards.
There is also no Community Development District (CDD) assessment in The Fountains. This is a significant financial differentiator: many comparable-era and newer communities in southern Kissimmee carry CDD assessments ranging from $1,500 to $4,000 or more annually, added directly to the property tax bill. The absence of both HOA and CDD fees in The Fountains means buyers can allocate more of their housing budget toward the mortgage itself, property improvements, or savings.
