The neighborhood of Mill Slough is a reminder that Kissimmee offers more than just proximity to Disney World. “It’s one of the city’s older neighborhoods. It’s very quiet and family-oriented,” says Julio Salgado, a Realtor with Re/MAX Premier Properties who has been serving Orlando and its southern suburbs for 15 years. “Lots of residents in this neighborhood have been here for a while – 15, 20, sometimes 30 years.” That means several of them have been witness to Kissimmee’s continued evolution from a vacation hot spot to an appealing residential destination.

Traditional ranch-style homes anchor the neighborhood's mix of housing
Mill Slough’s traditional single-family homes are mostly ranch-style options with driveways, attached garages and spacious yards. These homes, built primarily between the late 1970s and the 1980s, mingle with a mix of contemporary custom homes. Prices typically range from the low $200,000s to the mid-$400,000s. The average home cost about $335,000. Lower taxes in Osceola County compared to Orange County provide relative affordability compared to neighboring Orlando. One of the benefits of living in this area of Kissimmee is that there are no HOAs, so homeowners enjoy residential freedom. One-bedroom manufactured homes starting in the $15,000 range offer a cheap and cozy alternative.

Elementary, middle, charter schools, college in the neighborhood
Students are served by the Osceola County School District, rated B-minus by Niche. Mill Creek Elementary School, rated C-plus, and Denn John Middle School, rated C, are neighborhood schools located near the aquatic center. Nearby Gateway High School is a B-rated institution that features the county’s only International Baccalaureate Programme. Parts of the neighborhood are served by Central Avenue Elementary School, rated C-minus, and Osceola High School, rated B-minus. Also located in the neighborhood is Imagine Kissimmee Charter School, a C-plus-rated K-8 institution that gets an A-minus for diversity. Kissimmee’s population is more than 70 percent Hispanic, but Salgado said this neighborhood also has a large number of non-Hispanic residents, making it one of the city’s more diverse communities. In addition to the secondary schools, the neighborhood is home to the Osceola campus of Valencia College, which has expanded from its original academic mission as a junior college and now offers bachelor’s degrees.

Bob Makinson Aquatic Center is a featured amenity
Neighborhood activity is concentrated at the Bob Makinson Aquatic Center and the recreational spaces that surround it, including a soccer field and a playground. “That’s a plus for residents who have young kids, who can ride their bikes there,” Salgado says. The El Yunque Splash Pad and an 18-hole disc golf course are featured attractions at 65th Infantry Veterans Park in neighboring Buenaventura Lakes. Lakefront Park offers relaxing recreation in downtown Kissimmee just south of the neighborhood, while nearby East Lake Toho is known for its fishing.
