Quiet suburban living in southern St. Cloud

Deer Creek’s vibe toes the line between suburban and rural in far southern St. Cloud. “It’s good for people with young families or anyone running away from the tourists, the busyness of Orlando,” says Realtor Orianna Gil Hernandez of Florida Prestigious Homes, who has over five years of real estate experience in the metro. “It’s a little south of the busiest parts of St. Cloud, too, a little outside the heavy traffic areas, and close to some local farms and ranches,” says Chad Vaughan, a St. Cloud-based Real Broker Realtor with almost 10 years of experience. Its secluded, but not terribly remote, location draws homebuyers to Deer Creek.

Canoe Creek elementary/middle school has a STEM magnet

Deer Creek is zoned for Canoe Creek Charter Academy and Harmony High School, part of the Osceola County Public Schools district. The charter school, which is about a mile away and gets a B from Niche, serves kindergarten through eighth grades. Vaughan says the neighborhood’s proximity to the elementary/middle school appeals to families with multiple kids. “It’s a unique setup; most elementary and middle schools are separate. But families like it because their kids can stay at the same school longer,” he says. Canoe Creek has an environmental STEM magnet program with class topics like agriculture, engineering, foods and natural resources.

“St. Cloud’s parks and rec system is really impressive for its size,” Vaughan says. There are 17 public parks and recreation facilities packed into the less-than-10-square-mile city.

Nearby Royal St. Cloud Golf Links has several nine-hole courses and a driving range. Ted Broda Memorial Park, not much farther north, has lighted tennis courts, a bigger playground and a shaded nature trail.
