About Tuscany Neighborhood
Tuscany is one of the most distinctive boutique communities on Kissimmee's Westside — a small, exclusive enclave of roughly 40 detached single-family homes built around 2014 and designed from the ground up with an Italian Tuscan architectural identity. Whitewashed stucco walls, terracotta barrel-tile roofs, arched entryways, and Mediterranean-inspired landscaping give each home a cohesive resort character that stands apart from the mass-production aesthetics of larger nearby communities. Homes range from three to five bedrooms, each with a screened-in private pool, and most enjoy rear exposures overlooking either protected conservation woodland or natural lake areas — a rear buffer that delivers genuine privacy and a calming natural backdrop even when the parks are packed.
The community's location is a significant part of its appeal. Tuscany sits just off Westside Boulevard, approximately one mile south of US 192 (W. Irlo Bronson Memorial Highway) and within easy reach of the SR-429 Daniel Webster Western Beltway, placing Disney World's western entrance gates within roughly a five-minute drive. This combination of authentic Tuscan design, conservation-view privacy, private pool standard, and vacation-rental zoning eligibility makes Tuscany a compelling option for both short-term rental investors and full-time homeowners seeking a quiet retreat that feels worlds away from the tourist bustle of the surrounding resort corridor.
Because it was completed as a single phase with no expansion, Tuscany has remained an intimate, stable community. There are no community-wide amenities such as a shared clubhouse or resort pool — every home is self-contained with its own private pool. This design philosophy keeps HOA costs focused on common area maintenance rather than large-scale amenity management, while ensuring every resident's outdoor experience is entirely private. For owners running vacation rentals, the individual pool and game-room potential is a strong booking driver in the competitive Kissimmee short-term rental market.

Tuscany Amenities & Lifestyle
Life at Tuscany revolves around the private pool and the extraordinary access to Central Florida's premier entertainment corridor. Because each home is self-contained with its own screened pool and outdoor space, the community attracts both vacationing families and full-time residents who value privacy over shared amenity centers. The conservation woodland and natural lake views that most homes back to create a tranquil atmosphere — mornings on the lanai feel far removed from the resort activity surrounding the community.
For day-to-day living and leisure, Kissimmee's Westside corridor delivers exceptional convenience. US 192 (W. Irlo Bronson Memorial Highway) — accessible in under two miles — is one of Central Florida's most richly developed tourism and retail corridors, offering everything from grocery chains and pharmacies to dining, entertainment, and outlet shopping without ever needing to access the highway.

How Tuscany Compares
Tuscany fills a specific and underserved niche in the Kissimmee Westside resort market: a boutique community of genuine single-family detached homes with private pools, conservation views, and Italian architectural character — without the high HOA overhead of large resort communities with shared waterparks or massive amenity complexes. For buyers who want all the hallmarks of a quality Kissimmee vacation-rental property (Disney proximity, private pool, rental eligibility) in a quieter, more exclusive setting, Tuscany is genuinely differentiated.
| Feature | Tuscany | Windsor at Westside | Paradise Palms |
|---|---|---|---|
| Community Size | ~40 homes (boutique) | 500+ homes (large resort) | ~700 homes (large resort) |
| Pool Type | Private pool on every home | Community + private pools | Community + private pools |
| CDD Fee | No CDD | Yes | Yes |
| Architectural Theme | Italian Tuscan | Contemporary resort | Varied |
| Conservation / Lake Rear Views | Majority of homes | Select homes | Select homes |
| Distance to Disney Western Gate | ~5 minutes | ~5 minutes | ~8 minutes |
| Vacation Rental Eligible | Yes | Yes | Yes |
💡 Value Proposition: Tuscany offers the rare combination of boutique community scale, genuine privacy through conservation-view lots, a uniform Italian architectural identity, no CDD fee, and Disney-distance vacation-rental eligibility — qualities that are genuinely difficult to find together in a single Kissimmee community of any size.

Tuscany HOA & CDD Information
Tuscany is governed by a homeowners association that manages the community's shared entrance, common landscaping, and neighborhood standards. Because the community does not operate a shared pool or resort amenity center — all recreational amenities are private to each home — the HOA's scope is focused primarily on maintaining the aesthetic standards and common areas that give Tuscany its cohesive Italian character.
Tuscany does not have a Community Development District (CDD) fee. This is a meaningful financial advantage over many newer Kissimmee resort communities, where CDD assessments can add $1,200–$2,800 or more annually to the effective cost of ownership. Learn more about what a CDD fee is and how it affects your budget.
