🏘️ 1. How New Construction Works in the Disney Area (The Big Picture)

The region surrounding Walt Disney World is filled with growing communities…Horizon West, Lake Nona, Winter Garden, Davenport, Four Corners, Reunion, Kissimmee, and more.

Here’s what’s unique about them:

✔ Many are master-planned

Communities often include parks, walking paths, pocket greens, clubhouses, neighborhood pools, or shared amenities.

✔ Large variety of builders

Local, regional, and national builders all operate here. Each builder has its own structure, design packages, and timelines.

✔ A mix of to-be-built homes and quick-move-ins

Some homes are built from the ground up… others are already under construction at various stages.

✔ Growth means boundaries, amenities, and roads evolve

New schools, new parks, new road connections… the Disney corridor is constantly developing.

None of this is a problem… it simply means having a guide matters.

🧱 2. What’s Typically Included in a New Construction Home

Every builder is different, but most new construction homes include:

✔ Core structural components

Foundation, framing, roof, plumbing, electrical, HVAC, etc.

✔ A standard finish package

This usually includes flooring in main areas, cabinetry, countertops, and appliance packages though specifics vary.

✔ Basic landscaping

Often minimal front landscaping with sod; backyard requirements depend on the community.

✔ A warranty

New construction homes typically come with a builder warranty, but the terms differ by company.

✔ Basic lighting and hardware

Standard fixtures are usually included unless upgraded at the design center.

This sets your baseline…and from here, buyers choose what they want to personalize.

🌳 4. Community Considerations That Affect New Construction

These aren’t “costs” in the numerical sense they’re structural realities of Florida’s master-planned communities.

✔ HOA or COA

Most communities near Disney have associations because of shared amenities, architectural consistency, or maintained common areas.

Each community’s rules, amenities, and requirements vary.

✔ CDD (Community Development District)

Some communities use a CDD to finance infrastructure such as:

• Roads
• Sewer and water systems
• Community amenities
• Landscaping in common areas

This is not a fee you negotiate it’s part of how the community is structured.

✔ Lot-specific considerations

You choose your lot based on:

• Orientation
• Surroundings
• Conservation or water views
• Corner placement
• Proximity to community amenities

Buyers choose lots based on lifestyle, privacy, and long-term enjoyment.
