As a local Orlando realtor with over 34 years in Central Florida, the area surrounding Walt Disney World is one of the most active new construction markets in Florida. Builders are developing communities throughout Kissimmee, Celebration, Davenport, ChampionsGate, and Reunion specifically for families, vacation investors, and relocating buyers who want modern homes close to Disney.
Where New Homes Are Being Built
Kissimmee has the largest concentration of new construction near Disney. National builders like Lennar, Pulte, Meritage, and Taylor Morrison are building communities along the US-192 corridor and south toward St. Cloud. New homes in Kissimmee typically start in the low $300,000s and range to $600,000+ for larger models.
Celebration continues to expand with new residential phases that maintain the town's signature walkable design. New homes in Celebration tend to be priced higher than surrounding areas due to the community's brand recognition, amenities, and HOA-managed landscaping.
Davenport is one of the most affordable new construction markets near Disney. Builders are developing large communities with homes designed for both primary residents and vacation rental investors. Entry-level new construction in Davenport starts in the mid-$200,000s.
ChampionsGate combines resort-style amenities with new construction homes that range from townhomes to single-family estates. The community's golf courses, water park, and proximity to I-4 make it popular with both families and investors.
Builders and What to Expect
Major national builders in the Disney corridor include Lennar (known for Everything's Included packages), Pulte (Del Webb and Centex brands), Meritage (energy-efficient designs), DR Horton (affordable entry points), and Taylor Morrison (premium finishes). Each builder offers different floor plans, lot sizes, and included features.
New construction timelines in Central Florida typically range from 6 to 12 months from contract to closing, depending on the builder and community. Buyers can often customize finishes, choose lot positions, and negotiate structural options during the pre-construction phase.
Benefits of Buying New Near Disney
New homes near Disney offer modern energy efficiency, smart home technology, impact-resistant windows, and current Florida building code compliance. For vacation rental investors, new construction minimizes maintenance costs in the early years and attracts premium nightly rates from guests who prefer modern accommodations.
