First Look at Disney's New Affordable Housing Community in Central Florida

Disney is taking a bold step to address the affordable housing crisis in Central Florida by dedicating 80 acres of land for a new community near the Magic Kingdom. In partnership with The Michaels Organization, Disney plans to offer approximately 1,400 mixed-income housing units, with over 1,000 reserved as affordable.

This development, set to break ground later this year and complete its first units in 2026, is designed to help cost-burdened renters focus on personal growth and prosperity. The community will feature unique designs and amenities to promote wellness and a sense of belonging.

Located in the thriving Horizon West area, the community aims to seamlessly blend with the local culture and values, offering green spaces, parks, and vibrant gathering places. This initiative, which is not government-funded and will not financially benefit Disney, is part of the company’s long-standing commitment to supporting important causes in Florida and addressing housing insecurity.

Qualifying applicants, including Disney cast members, will have the opportunity to live in this thoughtfully planned community, marking a significant step towards a brighter future for residents in Central Florida.
