Poinciana
Quiet cul-de-sacs and traditional suburbs
Manicured yards and home lots wind around suburban streets and quiet cul-de-sacs. Ponds and lakes dot the landscape, so several waterfront homes are in the neighborhood. Most of the residential landscape is made up of one and two-story single-family houses situated in traditional suburban and private gated communities. Colorful stucco facades and tile roofing typical of Spanish revival mix with more contemporary touches in Poinciana’s houses. There is also a collection of more modest ranch-style houses with spacious floor plans. Most homes feature large, landscaped yards perfect for lawn games and cultivating gardens. Paved driveways and garages are typical amenities, leading onto sidewalks that provide routes for joggers and cyclists. Though most locals only routes out are Pleasant Hill Road and Poinciana Parkway, it's distance from major traffic routes provides an extra level of quiet and comfort, as LPT Realty agent Elijah Paige says, "it's nice to come home and relax in a quiet area.". Poinciana’s home prices range from $250,000 for smaller ranch-style houses to as much as $590,000 for larger contemporary houses.

The GreatSchools Rating helps parents compare schools within a state based on a variety of school quality indicators and provides a helpful picture of how effectively each school serves all of its students. Ratings are on a scale of 1 (below average) to 10 (above average) and can include test scores, college readiness, academic progress, advanced courses, equity, discipline and attendance data. We also advise parents to visit schools, consider other information on school performance and programs, and consider family needs as part of the school selection process.
