Acadia Estates has plenty of options for entertainment, including the Wharf in Sunset Walk.
Luxury and entertainment abound in Acadia Estates
Acadia Estates is a luxury gated suburb offering homebuyers a resort lifestyle immersed in entertainment. Located in Osceola County, Florida, residents are a stone’s throw from Walt Disney World Resort, a menagerie of other theme parks, golf courses, sports arenas and Margaritaville. “It’s a mix of tourists, snowbirds with second homes and full-time residents,” says Michelle Howard, a local Realtor with Keller Williams Realty, serving the area for over six years. “The people who live there enjoy the combination of feeling like they’re on vacation while also being able to get to know their neighbors.” Part of the Orlando–Kissimmee Metro Area, Acadia Estates is also surrounded by outdoor recreational opportunities, from prestigious Professional Golf Association courses to lakes within the neighborhood to a cluster of lakes to the north and Lake Tohopekaliga, the largest lake in Osceola County, is a short drive south. The wealth of amenities combined with luxury real estate is drawing more permanent residents to this heavily touristed town.
A short drive to Walt Disney World Resort's theme parks and Margaritaville
Acadia Estates has retail and dining options in and around the resorts and sprawling shopping complexes like the Promenade at Sunset Walk and Formosa Gardens Village. El Jefe Tequilas Taco Cantina is known for its birria tacos and elote and carries 250 tequilas. The walkable and bikeable shopping complex also offers pulled pork sandwiches and other barbecue classics at Lizzie’s Memphis-style BBQ, brick oven pizzas from Anthony’s Coal Fired Pizza and upscale options like BR77 Brazilian Steakhouse and seafood spot, The Wharf. For nightlife, GameTime provides the classic arcade experience with pub fare and tiki drinks, and beachy tunes can be found at Bahama Breeze or the Salty Rim Bar & Grill, poolside at Margaritaville Resort Orlando. Walmart is off Route 192 for essentials 3 miles away, and Target and Dollar Tree are a few miles north of the neighborhood. The closest grocery store is Publix at The Town Center at Orange Lake, 4 miles north. One of the closest communities to Walt Disney World Resort, Acadia Estates residents enjoy easy access to multiple theme parks and sports facilities. The Sunset Walk Slingshot is a thrilling way to see them from a bird’s eye view. Located at the Promenade at Sunset Walk, the 240-foot ride launches thrill-seekers into the air at speeds up to 100 mph. For those who prefer to experience the magic on foot, Disney’s Animal Kingdom Theme Park is 5 miles away, with Magic Kingdom, EPCOT, Hollywood Studios and SeaWorld all just a few miles further.

Coastal contemporary homes, Key West cottages and million-dollar villas
Acadia Estates homes sit in the middle of the action, with smaller communities throughout the neighborhood that offer a variety of lifestyles, from custom homes at the 55+ active adult community of Four Seasons at Orlando to the gated Formosa Gardens community and townhouses in Westgate Vacation Villas. “It’s a coveted neighborhood because there are just so many amenities in easy reach,” Howard says. “Everyone is really friendly and active. There are always people out and about, walking their dogs and visiting and going golfing.”
Most properties were built in the early 2000s, and single-family homes range from approximately $336,000 for a three-bedroom home around 1,400 square feet to over $1 million for custom lakefront or golf course builds with five or six bedrooms over 4,500 square feet. Condos and townhouses range from $260,000 for a 1,1100 square foot three-bedroom to approximately $620,000 for a four-bedroom over 1,700 square feet.

Margaritaville boasts one- to eight-bedroom pastel-colored coastal contemporary and craftsman-style homes with private pools and views of Lake Wilson. Homeowners’ association fees are $554 a month, and the community is within walking distance of the beach-style Margaritaville Resort and St. Somewhere Spa. Key West-style cottages, ranch-style homes and Mediterranean and Spanish-inspired homes comprise the rest of the neighborhood. Communities like the Encore at Reunion Resort, the guard gated golf community, give homeowners access to a clubhouse, tennis and volleyball courts, two playgrounds, a restaurant and a water park. Homeowners’ association fees here are $784 a month. Lot sizes range from 6,500 square feet to a quarter acre.
