Sitting snugly at the edge of Lake Toho, just 40 minutes from Orlando and an hour from the nearest beach, Kissimmee is your new laid-back hotspot: the center of everything, yet the "Middle of Nowhere."

Yet even here, you'll want to outfit your new place with a quality home security system to help protect your loved ones and property. With ADT, you'll get 24/7 professional monitoring of security equipment and even remote control of your system via smartphone.

Looking for fun adventures to take visiting family after you've settled in? Believe it or not, Disney World is a quicker trip from Kissimmee than it is from Orlando! After all, the Magic Kingdom is its own city. Your new locale is also just a hop, skip, and jump away from Universal Studios Florida. So skip the hotel fees that many theme park guests pay and take the kids (or your adult friends!) to get a butterbeer at the Wizarding World of Harry Potter or a taste of the nations at EPCOT center.

Of course there's more to Kissimmee than some of the world's best theme parks. For a cheaper (but still delightful!) rendezvous, head to beautiful Toho for a day of fishing, go for a ferris wheel ride in Old Town, or head to Wild Florida Airboats & Gator Park to see some wildlife. There's no shortage of year-round outdoor fun in Kissimmee, a city with "communities of neighborhoods for families."
