About the Area

From the moment you arrive in Poinciana, you will discover there's just something different about this place. Something special. Perhaps it's the picture-perfect setting for outdoor activities such as walking, biking, or jogging; or maybe it's the magnificent parks and pristine lakes perfect for fishing and canoeing. And what Florida community would be complete without golf, tennis and swimming. At Poinciana, you can enjoy all of these amenities as well as peace and serenity just minutes from shopping, fine dining, Osceola's and Polk's best schools are the most popular attractions.

Just like the good old days when many families grew up in small towns across rural America, Poinciana has its own town center with a special sense of place where families can experience an intimate hometown environment. A place where friends and neighbors can join each other for a morning cup of coffee at a local restaurant or share current events while shopping at a nearby supermarket. Complete with its own local ice cream store and the neighborhood library.
