Runaway Beach sits in the thick of Kissimmee's vacation corridor, a gated enclave of compact, low-maintenance homes built for easy living just about 20 minutes from Walt Disney World. The scale here is intimate — think condos and townhome-style residences rather than sprawling single-family lots — which makes it a natural fit for buyers who want a lock-and-leave base close to the theme parks. If you like the idea of being near resort-driven communities like Storey Lake and Solara without the price tag of a full-size home, this pocket of Kissimmee is worth a serious look.
The market here is small and slow-moving, which cuts both ways for a buyer. With just five active listings and a median list price of $215,000, inventory is thin, but homes are sitting an average of 156 days and sellers are netting about 94% of asking — meaning there's real room to negotiate. Compare that to the broader Kissimmee landscape, including communities like Windsor at Westside and Lake Marion Village, and Runaway Beach stands out as an affordable, patient-buyer's entry point near the parks.
Runaway Beach is a community in Kissimmee, Florida.

Runaway Beach FAQs
Is Runaway Beach a good place to live?+
It's a gated, low-maintenance community that works well for buyers who prioritize being close to the theme parks — Walt Disney World is about 20 minutes away and Orlando International Airport roughly 29 minutes. The homes here are compact, with a median size around 942 square feet, so it suits downsizers, investors, and part-time Florida residents more than families needing a lot of space.
Is Runaway Beach expensive?+
No — it's among the more affordable options near the parks, with a median list price of $215,000 and listings ranging from $145,000 to $295,000. For comparison, nearby resort communities like Solara tend to command higher prices for larger homes.
What do homes cost in Runaway Beach?+
The current median list price is $215,000, and homes are running about $223 per square foot on a median size of roughly 942 square feet. Over the past year, eight homes sold at a median price of $211,250, so list and sold prices are tracking closely.
How is the market in Runaway Beach?+
It's a small, slow-moving market with only five active listings and a median of 156 days on market. Sellers are accepting about 94% of asking on average, which means a prepared buyer has real negotiating room — but thin inventory means you'll want to act when the right unit appears.
What are the HOA fees and taxes like?+
The median HOA runs about $559 per month, which is on the higher side and typically reflects the resort-style amenities and maintenance common in gated vacation communities. Property taxes are modest by comparison at a median of $2,916 per year, and you can factor rental potential against those costs given the median rent of $1,750 a month.
