Lake Marion Golf

It suits buyers who value a gated, low-key setting over proximity to the action — eight of ten current listings are gated, and the compact homes keep upkeep light. You're about 54 minutes from Walt Disney World and 74 from downtown Orlando, so it trades commute time for affordability and quiet. If you want a calm home base in south Osceola County, it delivers.

Not at all by Central Florida standards — the median list price is $157,500, with active homes ranging from $134,000 to $189,999. At an average of $155 per square foot, it's one of the more budget-friendly gated options in the Kissimmee area. The main ongoing cost to plan for is the HOA, which runs a median of $419 a month.

Expect a median around $154,000 based on what actually sold over the past year, with current asking prices centered on $157,500. Homes here are small and efficient, with a median size near 981 square feet, which is why the totals stay accessible. Listings currently span $134,000 to $189,999.

It's a measured market, not a bidding war — the median home takes about 56 days to sell, and sellers are getting roughly 96% of their asking price. With only 4 homes sold in the past year and 10 active now, inventory is thin, so serious buyers should move decisively when the right one appears. There's room to negotiate, but not to lowball.

The median HOA here is $419 a month, which is meaningful relative to the home prices and typically covers the gated-community services. Property taxes are modest, with a median of $1,786 per year. Factor the HOA into your monthly budget carefully, since it's a significant piece of the total cost of ownership at this price point.
