Emerald Lake sits in the heart of Kissimmee, Osceola County, where a small collection of homes trades the resort-density feel of nearby communities like Storey Lake and Solara for something quieter and more residential. Several homes here front the water, and the location keeps you within an easy drive of the region's anchors — about 33 minutes to Orlando International Airport, 36 to Universal, and 42 to Walt Disney World. It's a practical spot for buyers who want to be near the theme-park economy without living inside it.
The market here is tight and moves quickly: just 7 homes are active right now, with a median list price of $260,000 and a range that stretches to about $425,830. Over the past year 13 homes sold at a median of $312,000, with sellers collecting roughly 97% of asking and listings going pending in a median of 20 days. If you're comparing against short-term-rental hubs like Windsor at Westside, Emerald Lake reads as a more traditional residential buy.
Emerald Lake is a community in Kissimmee, Florida.
