As residents of Celebration, Florida since the first homes were occupied, Kim's family has had an opportunity to experience this new community through its growth and maturation.  Living in Orlando we had followed the philosophy and news of this community as Disney designed a place that would live up to Walt Disney's dream....a place where people can live, work and play in a place that valued the communities of yesterday combined with the today's technology.

We were there for the original lottery in November 1995, where 5000 people were vying for the first 350 lots.  You entered into a drawing to buy homes in 4 different categories and price ranges: townhouses, cottage homes, village homes and estate homes.  Each home category offered different size lots, square footage and, of course, prices. Our names were put into two categories...the cottage and village homes.  We were pleased to be number 120 for the cottage homes.

Since we moved into our home in February 1997 the community has grown and changed.  The original 350 homes has grown to new sales in the seventh, and final phase of construction.  Resales have become available in all phases: the Celebration Village (original 350 homes), West Village, North Village, South Village, East Village, Aquila Reserve and Artisan Park.  Additional home types were added to offer additional price ranges: condo, garden homes and bungalows.  New homes are available in the newest development section, Artisan Park. Condominiums are available in three new areas.

Each new development has included the amenities that has kept this a unique community.  Numerous local parks and recreation areas have been added to absorb the new families and keep recreation choices near your home.  Community swimming pools, community centers and additional walking and bike riding paths have been added.  The architecture featuring porches and backyard alleys for garages and services are standards for most homes in Celebration.|

Downtown restaurants and shops welcome our residents and guests.  Imagine enjoying a restaurant where you recognize and know many of the patrons as fellow residents.  The recently opened Water Tower Place offers additional restaurants and shops. Visit our office at Water Tower Place at 215 Celebration Place #315 . Numerous clubs and religious services have developed.  Our first church building, the Community Presbyterian Church, opened in September 2000. Other religious organizations are located in Celebration and hold services in the AMC Theaters, Celebration School or the Stetson University Learning Center.  Neighbors work and play together in an environment that encourages and creates opportunities for networking and teamwork.

Additional amenities include community halls in the Main, North and South Villages,  the 4 1/2 Star Celebration Golf Course, a 60,000 square foot fitness center at Celebration Health, and Lakeside Park with basketball and tennis courts.  Three community pools are available for Celebration residents and their families.
