A busy city center with lakefront views
Although known as the gateway to Walt Disney World Resorts, Downtown Kissimmee has its own distinct flair. From its historic downtown to stunning views of Lake Tohopekaliga, the community offers a comfortable suburban life that will keep residents close to Central Florida's favorite theme parks. "Kissimmee is a small name for a huge area. The city is like any other suburb, but downtown is more historical," says Corlia MacDonald, a local Weichert, Realtors Hallmark Properties manager. "The city itself has plenty of events, so there's always a lot of people walking in Downtown Kissimmee. It is crawling with foot traffic, lots of little shops and restaurants. The neighborhood has more of a city-like feel."

A collection of charming shops and eateries
Downtown Kissimmee is also home to the largest independently owned restaurant district in Central Florida. The no-frills Willy's Wieners is a counter-service restaurant that offers nearly two dozen uniquely named hotdogs. After walking in the sun, locals can cool down with nitrogen ice cream at the outdoor Abracadabra Ice Cream Factory. Three Sisters Speakeasy is a chic establishment with an eclectic menu. "Soul Tapas and Bar is a new restaurant with great food and atmosphere. The interior design is also well-done," MacDonald says.
Downtown Kissimmee contains rows of vintage buildings with pastel exteriors outlining the walkable streets. Shoppers get second-hand items at Lanier's Historic Downtown Marketplace, a 10,000-square-foot antique store. Casa Del Artesano showcases works of art, but residents also step outside into an outdoor gallery of colorful murals throughout the city center. Locals can walk past the Monument of States, see the stunning Osceola County Historical Courthouse and then stroll by the 19th-century Makinson Hardware Store. Those looking for fresh produce and specialty foods visit Kissimmee Valley Farmers Market on the weekends.

Buying in Downtown Kissimmee
Homes in Downtown Kissimmee have a median price below the national average. Potential buyers will often pay anywhere between $200,000 to $425,000. The community contains contemporary bungalows, small ranch-style homes and midsized homes with multiple stories and attached garages. "Living in downtown, the streets are restricted to certain rules and regulations to preserve the historic nature. So, those wishing to modify their properties should know there are restrictions. But the area also has newer, more modern condos," MacDonald says.

Lakefront Park and nearby greenspaces
Lakefront Park is the neighborhood gathering space for outdoor recreation. "The city renovated downtown's lakefront and it is gorgeous. There are different parks along Lake Toho, even an accessible playground for children. It's a beautiful area for people to walk downtown," MacDonald says. At Brinson Park, visitors cast out on the fishing pier while enjoying sunset views. Others can take to the gym and tennis courts at Oak Street Park & Community Center, just beyond downtown. Designated as one of "America's Great Outdoors" by President Obama, Shingle Creek Regional Park sits along the headwaters of the Florida Everglades.
The main attraction of Lakefront Park is the large lighthouse at the end of a walking path.

Festivals on the lake
Many of the city's festivals take place within the neighborhood. The Taste of Kissimmee is a single-day event showcasing an array of flavors through food and music. During winter, locals gather for the Festival of Lights parade and holiday-themed activities in the park.
Traffic and commuting downtown
Commuters can expect traffic congestion along South John Young Parkway and surrounding roads. The Florida Department of Transportation has plans to increase the number of traffic lanes to ease driving conditions over the next few years. "Downtown Kissimmee does not have a lot of parking, but the city constructed a parking garage near the lakefront. People can easily park there and take the SunRail from Kissimmee Station," MacDonald says. Kissimmee Gateway Airport sits right next to the community, and Orlando International Airport is about 15 miles north. For health care needs, locals can visit HCA Florida Osceola Hospital.
Buses take commuters all throughout Florida from the Downtown Kissimmee station.
