Laurel Elementary School

It suits buyers who want theme-park access without theme-park prices, sitting about 44 minutes from Walt Disney World and under an hour from downtown Orlando and MCO. The area leans family-oriented and offers zone options near schools like Westside K-8 School. It's practical rather than flashy, which is exactly the appeal for many buyers.

Not by Central Florida standards — the median list price is $281,900 and homes have sold at a median of $270,000 over the past year. With listings ranging from $135,000 to $530,000 and none above $1M, it's one of the more approachable Kissimmee homes for sale markets.

You're looking at about $176 per square foot on a median home size of 1,626 square feet, which lands the typical list at $281,900. Prices span from $135,000 for smaller or entry-level homes up to $530,000 at the top of the current inventory.

It's steady and balanced. There are 224 active listings and 339 homes sold in the last 12 months, with sellers averaging 99% of asking and a median 41.5 days on market — buyers have negotiating room but shouldn't expect deep discounts.

The median HOA runs about $100 per month, which is modest, and 49 active listings sit in gated communities where fees are common. Median property tax is around $2,457 per year, and if you're weighing renting versus owning, median rent in the area is about $1,750 per month.
