Paradise Palms is a gated, resort-flavored community in Kissimmee where every active listing has a pool and the whole neighborhood leans into short-term vacation living just 16 minutes from Walt Disney World. It sits among Osceola County's cluster of vacation-home communities like Storey Lake, Solara and Windsor at Westside, which means buyers here are usually weighing rental income as much as lifestyle. With Universal Orlando about 29 minutes out and MCO around 40, it's a genuinely central address for guests and owners alike.
For buyers today, the market is active but measured: 42 homes are listed with a median around $392,445, and homes are taking a median 57 days to sell. Over the past year 48 homes closed at a median of $351,500, with sellers netting about 95% of asking — so there's room to negotiate if you come prepared. Just know the HOA runs high here at a median $738/month, which reflects the resort amenities and short-term-rental infrastructure baked into the community.
