Kissimmee FL Area Guide
Right next to the famed city of Orlando FL lays another blossoming community that holds just as much, if not more, wonder and excitement within its city limits, the popular city of Kissimmee Florida. Located in Osceola County, Kissimmee is a principal city among the Orlando-Kissimmee Metropolitan Statistical Area which is home to just about 2 million residents. Kissimmee itself though is home to just about 62,000 citizens, but that also makes it one of the area’s most populated communities and the fourth fastest growing area in the United States. Though it is in a constant state of growth, Kissimmee has not lost any of its small town sensibilities and appeal. The city and its community have found a way to cultivate those charming qualities and retain them, while providing the amenities and services of larger urban areas. A combination for a successful community if there has ever been one.
Kissimmee rests on the northwest shore of Lake Tohopekaliga or as it has been shortened, “Lake Toho,” “West Lake Toho,” or just “West Lake.” Whatever the name, this area still remains one of the most stunning anywhere in the region. Coupled with the desirable year-round climate, Kissimmee’s vast recreational opportunities and outdoor settings have attracted some attention throughout the years. Causing many of the world’s most famous developers and innovators to take notice in city and region, aiding in transforming Kissimmee into the Florida staple it is today. One of the most famous developers that took notice in the Kissimmee area was a man with an affinity for mice.
Kissimmee is most well known for being home to “The Happiest Place on Earth,” Walt Disney World and its various theme parks and resorts as well as the new residential community of Celebration Flroida.
