Emerald Island sits in the resort corridor of west Kissimmee, where gated streets, tropical landscaping and vacation-home energy define daily life. It's a community built around short-drive convenience — Walt Disney World is about 22 minutes away, with Universal Orlando and Orlando International Airport each roughly 39 minutes out. You'll find plenty of pools and secured entrances here, and neighbors range from full-time residents to owners running short-term rentals near communities like Storey Lake and Solara.
For buyers today, there are 40 active listings with a median list price of $402,000, spanning a wide $210,000 to $699,000 range.
