"The Community Disney Built," Celebration, Florida, was established in 1994 thanks to an investment by the Disney Development Company. Although Disney eventually sold its local assets, the area still retains some of its original magic and storybook charm. Expect a peaceful ambience complemented by street names that bring to mind flowers like honeysuckle, golden rain, and iris.

Many of the homes for sale in Celebration are bungalows, garden homes, and cottages that borrow elements of older architecture styles, including Colonial, Victorian, and Craftsman. Spacious Mediterranean-style condos for sale near Walt Disney Resort are also available, with some even overlooking man-made Lake Rianhard. Just when the sights begin to seem predictable, new residents will discover playful and postmodern structures, such as Celebration's post office. 

Local events, such as the Oktoberfest celebration, Fall Porch & Yard Sale, Exotic Car Festival, and Posh Pooch Festival, ensure entertainment throughout the year. Lakeside Park offers a variety of amenities, ranging from a swimming pool to tennis courts. Golfers will want to visit the Celebration Golf Course, an 18-hole course that features narrow fairways and plenty of water hazards.

While it's only five miles from Walt Disney World Resort, Celebration is almost a world unto itself. It's hidden away from the bustle of big-city life , but  those who frequently crave a change of pace can use Interstate 4 as a gateway to places like Orlando, Daytona Beach, and even Tampa.
