It lies 17 miles south of Orlando and only 10 miles from the Walt Disney World Resort. The many attractions and competitive real estate pricing make Kissimmee homes.More About Kissimmee The first thing that people often say about Kissimmee is, "How did it get its name?" "Kissimmee" is thought to originate in a tribal word, perhaps a name for a settlement. What we do know is that today's spelling comes from a 1752 Spanish map that labeled the community as "Cacema", which eventually evolved into its present spelling. Kissimmee has been honoured by winning the 2008 All-America City Competition. This award is the oldest community recognition in the country, and the most prestigious. This award is given to communities where people work together to effectively resolve local issues and make their community a better place.
There is also the Osceola County Softball Complex, with five softball fields, the Austin-Tindall Regional Park and a number of golf clubs. Lake Toho is known for its bass fishing and boating opportunities, as is the Kissimmee Chain of Lakes. There are still working cattle ranches in the area that are open to touring. There are many beaches near enough Kissimmee homes to allow for day trips to the ocean. If you're looking for a home near Orlando or the Walt Disney World Resort, consider Kissimmee real estate. |
