This incorporates those villa rental communities nestled near to the new SR429 toll road and Old Lake Wilson Road. This area provides a quick route through to US192 and the Walt Disney World Resort - especially Animal Kingdom. Magic Kingdom, EPCOT and the other Disney parks are easily accessible via the main thoroughfare of World Drive. Interstate 4 would be the preferred route for Seaworld, Universal Studios and the International Drive attractions.
Located just off US192 and within 3 miles of World Drive - the main route through to the Walt Disney World parks, Formosa Gardens is one of the closest communities to Walt Disney World. With a variety of luxury and executive 3 to 7 bedroom homes, which are well spaced for privacy and some with lake-side views.
Golfers are very much in for a treat as the central locality of the community offers a multitude of courses all within a 10 mile radius.
Within a mile are the local Formosa Gardens Village shopping complex, which has a Winn Dixie supermarket and pharmacy, walk-in medical centre, liquor store and a selection of other shops (including an ATM cash machine). The nearest Publix supermarket is just over 2 miles away at the Rolling Oaks shopping complex off US192. Alternatively, if it is WalMart you are looking for, this is around 6 miles away on US27 - north of the US192 intersection. If you are heading east on US192, there is also another WalMart on SR535 opposite the Lake Buena Vista shopping outlets. Both of which are around 10 miles away.
Closer to home, for eating out, there is a selection of restaurants and eateries, which include an Outback Steakhouse, Red Lobster, TGI Fridays, Giordano's Italian restaurant, as well as both a Chinese take-away and Japanese sushi bar. For quick snacks, there is also a Subway, Taco Bell and Dairy Queen.
Heading onto US192 towards Kissimmee, you will find countless shops and liquor stores, along with restaurants for eating out and an almost equal number of themed crazy golf to work off the meal!
