Property Summary: 

The Celebration Community was formed with the concept of building a better place and a better way to live. There’s a reason Celebration is not a town, but a community in every positive sense of the word.

In order to draft a blueprint for fulfilling such a vision and oversee its creation, the Walt Disney Company founded The Celebration Company. Utilizing the combined experience of a specialized group of world-renowned city and social planners, as well as the best architects of our time, The Celebration Company conceived five principles that would guide every aspect of the community’s creation. Those five guiding principles known as the Celebration Cornerstones, consist of: Sense of Community, Sense of Place, Focus on Technology, Focus on Education & Focus on Health. 

This is a beautiful masterplan community situated in northwest Osceola County, Florida. 

• The homes and condominiums are a cross-pollination of Classical, Colonial, French, Coastal, Mediterranean, and Victorian exteriors with modern floor plans. Most homes have a welcoming front porch and access to rear garages via a service alley.
• Residential offerings include single family terrace, bungalow, garden, cottage, village, manor and estate homes along with townhomes and condominiums.
• Residents enjoy large recreational areas with multiple amenities, a Community Center, over 40 neighborhood parks and more than 26 miles of walking trails.
• Commercial areas include Downtown Celebration, Shoppes at Celebration Place and Water Tower Shoppes with multiple restaurants and shops. Within the Community’s boundaries residents benefit from schools (Celebration K-8, Celebration High School, Foreign Language Immersion School), Osceola County Fire Station, office complexes, a boutique hotel, gas stations, churches and AdventHealth Hospital and Fitness Centre.
