Celebration
Real Estate Guide
The real estate market of
Celebration reflects the “New Urbanism”
movement, which can be seen in the homes close
to each other and to the sidewalk to promote a
better sense of community. Celebration’s
residential areas are not gate-guarded because
that does not fit in with the “New Urbanism”
concept. The
city emphasizes parks, sidewalks and a mix of
residential and commercial space. The bank, the
post office, town hall other downtown buildings
were designed by renowned architects and the
majority of the residential real estate of
Celebration is located within one mile of the
downtown area.
The community’s many
churches, community events, good schools and
recreational opportunities enhance celebration
real estate values.
An eighteen-hole golf course winds
through the town and residents and tourists
enjoy the beautiful lake surrounded by trees,
grass and a well-kept walkway.
There are eight developments in
Celebration.
Homes are built in various styles
including Victorian, Mediterranean, French,
Coastal and Colonial Revival.
There are seven general sizes of homes
ranging from cozy Bungalows to huge Estates. The
size and styles of homes are mixed through the
town.

looked at what made communities great
in our past, added what we've learned

combined that with a vision and hope
for strong communities in the
future," said Michael Eisner,
Disney's chair and CEO. "We
believe the result will be a very
special community." Master plans

| HISTORY
Celebration's
first residents moved in
the summer of 1996, and
are enjoying the town's
offerings. The community
is based on five
cornerstones: education,
health and technology,
place and community. Of
course, any town
attempting perfection
needs a quality school, so
Disney constructed
the county-run Celebration
School, serving students
from kindergarten through
8th grade. The innovative
public school sits on a
36-acre campus and
includes a 10-acre wetland
area, a gym, media center
and baseball, softball and
soccer fields.
The school opened August
of 1997. The curriculum
was created by a mix of
professors from Harvard
University, Auburn
University, John Hopkins,
the University of
Minnesota and a consortium
of Florida universities
|
|
.
A High School has opened now and serves grades
9 - 12. The original school was built
for Kindergarten through 12th grade and
because of the growing population of
Celebration, it was necessary to build a High
School and split the student enrollment.
