Encantada is a gated community in Kissimmee built for the kind of buyer who wants a low-maintenance townhome within easy reach of Walt Disney World and the rest of Central Florida's attractions. The neighborhood leans heavily toward pool homes and gated security — 22 of the 28 active listings sit behind a gate, and 17 come with a pool — which tells you a lot about who lives and vacations here. It's a popular short-term-rental and second-home pocket, close enough to the theme parks that a 25-minute drive to Disney is part of the appeal. For buyers browsing Kissimmee homes for sale, Encantada reads as a tidy, amenity-forward alternative to larger resort communities like Storey Lake and Solara.
The market here is modest in size and priced for accessibility: 28 homes are active at a median list of $315,000, with the median sale over the past year landing at $289,500. Homes run smaller — around 1,295 sqft at the median — and spend about 78 days on market, so there's room to negotiate, with sellers collecting roughly 96% of asking. The HOA is the number to watch, with a median fee near $594/month that reflects the gated, pool-heavy, resort-style setup. Compared with master-planned neighbors like Solivita or Lake Marion Village, Encantada is a more compact, entry-priced way into the Kissimmee resort corridor.

Living in Encantada
Encantada is a gated residential community in Kissimmee, positioned within the busy attractions corridor of western Osceola County. The defining features are security and amenities: of the 28 homes currently on the market, 22 are gated and 17 include a pool, which tells you this is a place built around a resort-style, low-maintenance way of living. Homes tend to be compact — the median size is about 1,295 square feet — which makes the community a natural fit for townhome and villa-style living rather than sprawling single-family lots.
The community draws a mix of residents and visitors. Because it sits just 25 minutes from Walt Disney World, Encantada is popular with second-home buyers, snowbirds, and investors alongside full-time owners. That means you'll find neighbors who live here year-round as well as homes used for vacation stays, a common pattern in this part of Kissimmee.
Who does it suit best? Buyers who want a gated address and shared amenities without the expense of a larger house, and who value proximity to Central Florida's attractions over acreage or quiet seclusion. If a compact, manageable home near the parks fits your plans, Encantada delivers that profile at an accessible price point.
Neighborhoods and communities in Encantada
Encantada itself is a defined gated community, but it sits among several notable resort-oriented neighborhoods along the Kissimmee attractions corridor. Larger master-planned communities nearby include Storey Lake and Solara, both known for amenity-heavy, vacation-friendly housing. Comparing these helps buyers understand where Encantada fits — generally smaller and more entry-priced than its bigger neighbors.
For buyers weighing lifestyle, the contrast matters. Communities like Solivita and Lake Marion Village offer different scales and setups, from active-adult living to more traditional residential layouts. Windsor at Westside is another name in this resort corridor that buyers often shop alongside Encantada.
Within Encantada, the housing is consistent in character: gated, frequently pool-equipped, and resort-styled. That uniformity can be a plus for buyers who want a predictable product and clear HOA structure, versus the broader variety found when you widen your search across the surrounding Kissimmee communities.
Homes for sale in Encantada: prices and housing
The numbers paint a clear picture. There are 28 active listings with a median list price of $315,000, ranging from about $214,000 to $425,000. The average price per square foot is roughly $239, and with a median home size near 1,295 square feet, these are smaller, more affordable homes than you'd find in a typical single-family subdivision. Over the past 12 months, 18 homes sold at a median price of $289,500.
The market moves at a measured pace. Homes take a median of about 78 days to sell, and sellers net roughly 96% of their asking price on average — a combination that gives buyers some negotiating room without signaling a distressed market. The housing mix is heavily gated (22 of 28 active) and pool-oriented (17 of 28), with two waterfront listings; there is no active new construction, no golf-course product, no 55+ inventory, and nothing listed above $1 million.
Carrying costs deserve attention. The median HOA fee is about $594 a month, which reflects the gated access and pool amenities, while median property taxes run around $3,727 a year. The HOA figure is a meaningful part of the monthly budget here, so confirm precisely what it covers before you commit. For buyers considering a rental strategy, the median rent is $2,450 a month, which helps explain the community's appeal to investors.
Schools in Encantada
Encantada falls within the Osceola County school system, and the most commonly assigned schools for this area are Osceola County School for the Arts, Celebration High School, and Westside K-8 School. These assignments cover a range of grade levels and should be verified for any specific property, since zones don't always follow neighborhood boundaries.
School attendance zones in Florida can and do change over time. Before making an offer, confirm the current assignment for the exact address you're considering directly through Osceola County Schools, which maintains official zoning information. This is the reliable way to be certain which schools a given home feeds into.
For families, it's also worth considering the broader mix of public, charter, and magnet options available across Osceola County. Programs like the School for the Arts operate on application or audition in some cases, so if a specialized program is a priority, research its admission process early.
Getting around Encantada
Location is one of Encantada's strongest selling points. Walt Disney World is roughly a 25-minute drive, placing the community squarely within the theme-park corridor that defines this part of Kissimmee. Universal Orlando and Orlando International Airport (MCO) are each about 39 minutes away, and downtown Orlando is around 38 minutes.
That central positioning means residents and visitors can reach most of Central Florida's major destinations within a reasonable drive. The community's proximity to the attractions is a practical advantage for commuters working in the hospitality and tourism sectors, as well as for second-home owners who want quick access to the parks.
As with most of the Kissimmee area, a car is essential for day-to-day life, and traffic along the attractions corridor can build during peak tourist periods and holidays. Factor that into your commute expectations, especially if you'll be traveling at the same times as park guests.
Is Encantada a good place to live?
Encantada works well for buyers who want a gated, amenity-rich home near the theme parks at a price that undercuts the larger resort communities nearby. With a median list price of $315,000 and recent sales around $289,500, it's one of the more accessible ways into this corridor. The compact home sizes and high share of pool and gated properties define exactly what you're buying: a low-maintenance, resort-style product rather than a traditional single-family neighborhood.
The trade-offs are worth weighing honestly. The HOA, at a median of about $594 a month, is a significant ongoing cost, and the community's popularity with investors and vacation guests means it's not a quiet, owner-occupied-only enclave. Homes also take a median of about 78 days to sell, so this is a market that rewards patience over urgency, both buying and selling.
For the right buyer — someone who values proximity to Disney, a gated address, and shared amenities over space and seclusion — Encantada delivers a clear, consistent value proposition. Confirm the HOA scope, the current school zoning, and your intended use (full-time, second home, or rental) up front, and the community's strengths line up neatly with its price point.
