Life in the Magic Kingdom: Disney's Golden Oak Resort Community Expands

What’s more exclusive than living inside the Magic Kingdom? Disney’s Golden Oak community, an upscale residential and resort community within the boundaries of Florida's Disney World, offers a one-of-a-kind opportunity to those willing to put down millions for a custom home. It’s quaint, quiet, and three miles from the Magic Kingdom.

The new Kingswell neighborhood, named after the street in California where the Disney brothers set up their first studio, will consist of 53 custom homesites, and just went on the market late last month, with finished homes of 5,000 to 7,000 square feet expected to run $3 million each. Like the other parts of the Golden Oak community, it offers access to the nearby Four Seasons Hotel and all of its amenities, entry to the the Summerhouse clubhouse, Markham's dining room, and of course, VIP Magic Kingdom access including private and personalized transport to and from the park.
"For us, Golden Oak is one of a kind," says Page Pierce, Vice President of Disney Resort Real Estate Development, who says the company doesn't plan to expand. "It’s not a typical developer strategy, but it’s a theme park strategy, and I think that’s very interesting. There’s far more demand, but that’s all we’re going to build."The entire resort and residential development now contains 300 homes, golf courses and wetlands, spread over 980 acres (the homes take up a little more than 200 acres).

Although Disney will maintain the day-to-day operation of the community, the land was de-annexed from Reedy Creek and residents will be part of Orange County.
 
This is our dream retirement location. I'm not sure my planned retirement job ( Jungle Cruise Skipper) will support my dream. Maybe the lottery will be kind to me.
