Fortune Lakes

It suits buyers who want a quiet, live-in neighborhood rather than a short-term rental enclave, with lake frontage and a low median HOA of about $41 a month. Commutes are easy — MCO is roughly 26 minutes and downtown Orlando about 31 — and assigned schools include Osceola County School for the Arts. Weigh it against nearby communities like Windsor at Westside depending on whether you want resort amenities or everyday calm.

It sits in a mid-range band for the Kissimmee area, with a median list price of $439,950 and homes running about $186 per square foot. That buys a sizable house — the median is around 2,388 square feet — and the light $41 monthly HOA keeps carrying costs down.

Active listings are priced from $409,900 to $470,000, with a median of $439,950. Sold data over the past year skews higher, with a median sold price of $605,000, so larger or waterfront homes can command a real premium here.

Inventory is very thin — just two active listings at the moment — and homes take a while to move, with a median of about 78 days on market. That said, sellers averaged 99% of asking price over the last 12 months, so well-priced homes still close close to list.

The median HOA is about $41 a month, which is low for this part of Kissimmee where resort communities like Solara run much higher. Median property taxes come in around $4,859 a year, in line with Osceola County norms for homes at this price point.
