Homes for Sale on New Communities

There are currently few opportunities to buy new construction here. There are several communities like Aviana where construction isn't complete, but where building has been put on hold. The few communities where you can still buy a new home include Veranda Palms (single family pool homes), Bellavida (townhomes), Paradise Palms (townhomes), Watersong (single family homes) and The Shire at Westhaven (single family homes).

Veranda Palms

Description: Description: Description: Veranda Palms banner

The only truly active new community of single family homes at present is the innovative Veranda Palms by Park Square Homes. Located ten minutes from Disney in West Kissimmee, this community offers some great features including outdoor recreational facilities and direct access to one of Central Florida's best free attractions, the 1000 acre Shingle Creek Regional Park. New pricing for 4 bed pool homes on Veranda Palms starts around $235,000 for homes to be constructed in four months, up to $275,000 for 5/6 bed models.

PHASE TWO NOW RELEASED

I have lot details, models and pricing for phase two, which has recently been released. Email me if you would like to be kept informed. I have access to some great conservation and water view lots on this phase.


Beginners Guide To Buying a Vacation Home

If you have never bought a home in Florida before it can seem confusing at first. In fact it is a straightforward and logical process. The beginner's guide section of my website puts each step in perspective, and describes the various stages from making an offer to closing the deal and beyond. Here are some of the areas covered in this section:

These links will show all the homes that are currently listed for sale in the most popular communities. Results are ranked in price order, lowest price first.


SHORT TERM RENTAL COMMUNITIES

Go to my communities search engine

Or my TOP TEN communities search

Hightower Realty provides services to buyers of vacation homes (short term rental homes) and residential homes on communities that are available for short term rental licensing. There are about 200 of these communities, situated in Osceola, Polk and Lake Counties, Florida, although many of the older communities are now primarily residential.

All the short term rental approved (STR) communities are located in the Kissimmee, Davenport, Haines City or Clermont areas. There are none located in Orlando, Celebration, Poinciana or Orange County. If you want to search by zip code, check my zip code location map.

The list of communities shown here is not complete. It shows only sub-divisions where rental homes represent a significant proportion of the total. There are also a number of older communities that still permit STR use, but which are no longer used for that purpose to any extent.

The communities in bold type are the more suitable ones for good rental income. Others may be be more appropriate if you want a home just for your own vacation use.
