About Veredas Neighborhood
Veredas is a gated single-family community situated off Boggy Creek Road just west of Narcoossee Road in the rapidly growing Boggy Creek corridor of Kissimmee. With only 80 homes accessed through a single entrance off Holiday Woods Drive, Veredas offers an unusually intimate scale for this part of Osceola County — a true neighborhood rather than a sprawling development. That controlled size also means less cut-through traffic, stronger neighbor relationships, and a cohesive community feel that larger subdivisions along this corridor simply cannot replicate.
Homes in Veredas were constructed between 2009 and 2014, placing them firmly in the post-recession era of Florida residential construction when builders returned to quality concrete block construction, open floor plans, and upgraded standard finishes. The largest homes in the community reach approximately 2,963 square feet with four bedrooms, while the typical floor plan offers three to four bedrooms across 1,600 to 2,500 square feet of living space. Most homes feature two-car garages, tile roofs, and the stucco exterior finishes characteristic of Central Florida residential construction from this period.
The geographic position of Veredas is one of its defining advantages. The East Lake Tohopekaliga shoreline lies within a short distance, giving residents proximity to one of Central Florida's premier recreational lakes without the premium lakefront price tag. Boggy Creek Road connects the community quickly to Narcoossee Road, which in turn provides a direct corridor to the Lake Nona Medical City employment center, Orlando International Airport, and the SR 528 (Beachline) expressway. Residents of Veredas find themselves genuinely equidistant between the attractions of downtown Kissimmee to the west and the burgeoning innovation hub of Lake Nona to the north.
The community includes a pool and playground centered within the neighborhood, providing the core amenities that families expect while keeping HOA operational costs manageable. For buyers seeking a gated community with a genuine sense of place, a modest HOA, and exceptional positioning along the Boggy Creek corridor, Veredas represents a compelling and frequently overlooked value in the 34744 market.

Veredas Location & Connections
Veredas is positioned in the Boggy Creek corridor of Kissimmee, off Boggy Creek Road approximately one mile west of Narcoossee Road. This location places the community at a genuine crossroads between two of Central Florida's most dynamic growth areas: the established recreational landscape of East Lake Tohopekaliga to the south, and the booming Lake Nona Medical City and SR 528 corridor to the north. The East Lake Toho shoreline, conservation areas, and Boggy Creek Resort & RV Park are all within close proximity, giving the neighborhood an unmistakably natural Florida character that contrasts with the more intensively developed communities to the west along US 441.
The Boggy Creek Road corridor itself is evolving rapidly. The Austin Tindall Sports Complex on Boggy Creek Road — a major multi-field athletic facility used for regional tournaments — brings consistent activity to the area. Narcoossee Road provides the primary north–south artery for residents commuting toward Lake Nona, Orlando International Airport, and SR 528 east to the Space Coast. For those heading west or south, US 441 and the Florida Turnpike provide connections to downtown Kissimmee, Walt Disney World, and the broader Osceola County employment base. The neighboring Lake Nona community in Orange County lies just across the county line to the north, making Veredas particularly well-suited for households with employment at the Medical City or at companies in the Lake Nona Innovation District.

Veredas HOA & CDD Information
Veredas is governed by a mandatory homeowners association that oversees the gated entry, community pool, playground, common area landscaping, internal road maintenance, and trash removal. The HOA structure at Veredas is intentionally straightforward — with only approximately 80 homes, the association operates efficiently, and residents generally find the community well-maintained without the bureaucratic complexity of much larger master-planned developments.
Veredas does not carry a Community Development District (CDD) fee, which is a meaningful financial advantage over many comparable communities in Osceola and Orange Counties. CDDs can add anywhere from $1,000 to $3,000+ annually to a homeowner's property tax bill; the absence of a CDD at Veredas keeps total carrying costs lower over the long term.
