Further along than almost anything else we write about, and that is the point of reading this now. The final plat recorded in June 2026, which legally created the forty-three lots. Between late July and mid August 2026 the builder pulled issued home permits on thirty-six of those forty-three lots, which is eighty-four per cent of the community, and one of those permits is for a model home with a sales office and its own parking lot. So the houses are going up. What has not appeared is a price: the builder's own community page currently asks you to call for information rather than listing one, and we will not publish a number its page does not show. That gap between houses being framed and a price sheet existing is narrow, and it is where you are standing right now.

No, and this one is worth getting right because it affects your tax bill. The mailing address is Kissimmee, but the site itself is in unincorporated Osceola County, outside the city limits. We checked that three ways: the federal geocoder returns the county and the census subdivision but no incorporated place and no census-designated place for this location, a control query at downtown Kissimmee correctly returns the city, and the county's own city-limits layer returns nothing for this site. The practical effect is in your favour: there is no municipal levy on top of the county and school levies, which an otherwise identical house inside the city would carry. Anyone describing this as being in the city of Kissimmee is describing the postal address rather than the jurisdiction.

No, and in this county that is genuinely the headline. We searched the clerk's official records for any district instrument or district party connected to this community across several years and found none at all. There is a homeowners association, recorded, and that is the only community-level charge structure here. That matters because a community development district is a special-purpose local government that borrows to build the roads, water, sewer and stormwater and repays the bonds through an annual assessment on every home, which lands as a second line on your tax bill and typically runs twenty to thirty years. Several of the larger communities you will be shown nearby do carry one. Comparing a sticker price here against a sticker price in one of those is not a comparison at all, and on a forty-three-home infill community with a play structure rather than a clubhouse, the absence of a district is a structural cost advantage rather than a coincidence. Get written confirmation anyway, and get the association dues in writing, because no dues figure has been published.

Two streets only: Oak Hammock Place and Red Fish Run. Forty-three detached homes on just under eighteen acres. That is a small, self-contained infill community rather than a masterplan, and the consequences are worth thinking through in both directions. On the good side, with thirty-six of forty-three lots already permitted this community will be finished quickly rather than leaving you living beside construction for a decade, and there is no long build-out of further phases to dilute what you bought into. On the other side, forty-three homes cannot support an amenity programme: the recorded plan here is a play structure at the park tract, with no clubhouse and no pool. One search warning: the street name Oak Hammock Place is very close to an established neighbourhood on an adjacent road with a similar name, so a bare search on the street string mostly returns that neighbourhood's resale listings rather than anything about this community.

D.R. Horton is the builder. Forestar is the lot developer, and it is the sole dedicator on the recorded plat, meaning it is the entity that platted the land and put in the lots and the infrastructure. They are related companies but they do different jobs, and Forestar should not be called the builder. The structure is also why this community was hard to find: Forestar bought the two parent parcels at the end of 2024 and the entitlement and permitting ran under its name, so for most of the project's life the records sat under the lot developer rather than under the brand that eventually goes on the sign. That changed during 2026, when the builder took title to the lots in two separate takedowns, in July and September. So the builder is not merely marketing here, it is the recorded owner of the lots and the holder of thirty-six issued home permits.

Because we tested it with a positive control rather than just failing to find listings, and that distinction matters. We searched the county clerk's deed index for sales by this builder across the whole county over a recent four-month stretch. It returned well over two hundred recorded sales across sixteen other Osceola communities, and not a single one at this community. A search that finds hundreds of results everywhere else and zero here is strong evidence rather than an absence of evidence. We also checked the national new-homes listing site, which carries a price for every one of this builder's other nearby communities and shows this one as pricing to come. And we searched both street names and specific street numbers and found no listing and no separate brand. What we could not establish is whether the permitted model home and sales office has physically opened, because the county permit data we can reach does not record completion. That is the single fact most likely to have changed since we published.

The builder's own page lists five named plans ranging from roughly 1,670 to about 2,730 square feet, which is a straightforward spread of single-family sizes rather than anything exotic. We are deliberately not reproducing the floor plan details, elevations or specification here, because those are the builder's published material and they change; go and read them at source, and then use an agent to find out what is actually standard against what is shown in a model. One thing to ask specifically on a forty-three-lot infill site: the plotted site plan for your particular lot showing the house footprint, the setbacks and the drainage. On a small site the lots backing the park tract and the stormwater pond are materially different from the interior ones, and on a community this size that difference is a meaningful share of the available homesites.

On the federal mapping, no. We queried the national flood hazard layer across the whole parcel rather than at a single centre point, which is the test that usually turns an optimistic answer pessimistic, and here the answer held across the entire site: minimal flood hazard, and therefore mapped outside the special flood hazard area. Two caveats, as always. Mapped outside the hazard area means a lender will not require flood insurance as a condition of your mortgage; it does not mean water never stands anywhere on a property, and a new subdivision grades and retains stormwater for a reason, so ask where your lot sits relative to the pond. And flood maps get revised. Get a determination for your specific lot at contract rather than relying on a site-wide statement, including ours.

We are not going to publish a tax figure, and we would rather explain that than give you a number we cannot stand behind. We read the county's general levy and a separate countywide levy for this budget year, but we did not assemble the full district total that applies to this specific unincorporated parcel, and a partial millage figure is worse than none. What we can give you is the structure, which is more useful than you might think. The site is unincorporated, so there is no municipal levy. There is no community development district, so no district assessment. There is an association, with dues not yet published. And the land is still assessed as raw acreage on the current roll even though thirty-six houses are under construction, so any tax figure you find attached to this address today describes an empty field: a completed home is assessed as of the January the first after it is finished. Florida's additional homestead exemption of fifty-one thousand four hundred and eleven dollars is set statewide by Florida law rather than by this county, and applies only from the January after you establish residency. Get a written monthly estimate built on the actual purchase price for your specific home.

The county district, which covers the whole county, and we are not going to name individual schools. That is a deliberate refusal rather than a gap. Builder and aggregator pages do print three school names for communities like this, and the aggregator carrying them for this community disclaims its own zone data in the same breath. Attendance boundaries are set by address, they get redrawn, and a fast-growing part of this county redraws them more often than most. Get the assignment for the exact address in writing from the district before you rely on it, and ask specifically about capacity, because a community adding forty-three families at once can arrive after a school has already closed enrolment.

This is the Poinciana and Pleasant Hill side of Osceola County, west and south of the Kissimmee core: established residential country with an older neighbourhood directly adjacent to this site, rather than a raw highway frontage. It is a workaday part of the metro rather than a tourist one, and that is reflected in the price point. The main routes put you into the Kissimmee and wider Orlando employment areas, with the theme park corridor north-east of here and Lake Tohopekaliga and the chain of lakes to the east. We have deliberately printed no drive times, because we did not measure any and a published figure on a corridor growing this fast would be stale quickly. The honest tradeoffs: this is car-dependent, the surrounding road network is carrying heavy growth, and a forty-three-home community gives you a quiet street and a play structure rather than amenities. Against that, a new house, outside a city, with no district assessment, mapped outside the flood hazard area, and finishing fast rather than slowly, is a sensible piece of product.

Less than an older house nearby, for structural reasons rather than as a discount. Florida requires insurers to credit verified wind-mitigation features, and a house built to the current code earns most of them automatically: the roof covering and deck attachment, the roof-to-wall connections, the roof shape and the opening protection. Roof age is the single biggest underwriting question in this state, so a brand-new roof matters more than almost anything else, and being mapped outside the flood hazard area removes the lender-required flood policy. On the wider market, the state-backed insurer filed a statewide average multiperil rate decrease of nearly nine per cent in the spring of 2026 and several private carriers filed decreases in the same window, so the recent direction has been downward after several genuinely hard years. We gathered no premium figures for this community and will publish none. Get real quotes on the actual specification and ask for the mitigation credit breakdown in writing.
