Emerald Island sits on the Disney side of Kissimmee, a gated community built around vacation-friendly living — pool homes, resort landscaping, and a location that puts Walt Disney World about 22 minutes from your driveway. It's a neighborhood that draws short-term rental investors and second-home buyers as much as full-time residents, which gives the streets an easygoing, well-kept feel. If you like the idea of theme-park proximity without living on top of the crowds, this pocket delivers, and it neighbors familiar names like Storey Lake, Solara, and Windsor at Westside.
For buyers today, the math is straightforward: 40 homes are active with a median list price of $404,500, while the 46 that sold over the past year closed at a median of $455,000. That gap reflects a market where well-priced homes move and sellers are getting about 96% of asking. With a median 52.5 days on market, there's room to negotiate but not to dawdle on the sharpest listings.
Emerald Island is a community in Kissimmee, Florida.
