Top 5 Things You May Not Know About Country Walk

Built by Our Favorite Mouse 

Believe it or not, Country Walk has a touch of Disney magic in its DNA! 

Designed and developed by Arvida Corporation, a company once owned by The Walt Disney Company that broke ground in the late 1970s, Country Walk existed long before Celebration, Florida.

In fact, you can say that Country Walk was Disney's quiet experiment in suburban planning. 

Mind you, its tree-lined streets, circular layout, and carefully placed parks weren't just for looks — they followed the same "storyboard" concept Disney used in its theme parks, where every detail had purpose and flow. 

Construction wrapped up by 1994, leaving behind a neighborhood master-planned with a heart. 

So, while you might not find a hidden Mickey in Country Walk, you're definitely living in one of Disney's earliest real-world dreams.

Fun for All Seasons     

If you think suburban life is boring, Country Walk and its jam-packed neighborhood calendar beg to differ. 

Here, there are seasonal celebrations left to right, from Valentine's "Music Under the Stars" concerts to festive Fourth of July fireworks that light up the lake. 

Come fall, the community pulls out all the stops with its Arts & Crafts Festival, featuring over a hundred local vendors, food trucks, live music, and a kid-friendly "Fun Zone," drawing around 2,000 visitors every year — not bad for a neighborhood party! 

And when you think things are winding down, the Holiday Party rolls in every December, wrapping the year with lights, laughter, and local pride. 

In Country Walk, you don't need a downtown district to keep the good times going — just good neighbors and great traditions.

Oh, Grass, Glorious Grass — It's Everywhere  

Take a stroll through Country Walk's Patio Homes section and you'll notice something rare in modern suburbs — wide, open lawns stretching behind homes instead of fences. 

These "green courts" link backyards together, creating shared spaces where kids play tag, dogs chase tennis balls, and neighbors chat over morning coffee. 

It's an idea born from the community's original master plan, aiming to blend privacy with connection. 

The result? Streets that breathe, homes that feel larger, and blocks that look like pocket parks; unique greenbelts that give Country Walk an airy, park-like vibe you won't find in most cookie-cutter suburbs. 

Where Fitness Meets Fountain Views

At the center of Country Walk sits a sparkling lake that's more than just a pretty sight, but the heartbeat of the community. 

Here, locals come to jog, walk, or try out the "Vita Course," a looping fitness trail dotted with exercise stations where you can stretch, squat, and sweat with a view. 

On weekends, the lake buzzes with activity — kids feeding ducks, friends fishing from the dock, and neighbors chatting between laps. 

It's functional, scenic, and social all at once, so that even those who prefer relaxation over reps can enjoy the calming fountain spray and the reflection of palms on the water. 

Indeed, in a place like Country Walk, staying active feels like a lifestyle perk!

A School (Literally) A Stroll Away 

For Country Walk families, the morning rush looks a little different, with zero traffic jams and long drives on their quick walk or bike ride to Jack D. Gordon Elementary School, located right inside the community. 

Yes, this is not a drill — Country Walk has a school within its perimeter!

The school even partners with the HOA for local events, so kids know that the fun never stops after class! 

Plus, having a great public school within walking distance enhances the community's value and appeal, another built-in benefit that connects families to each other and strengthens Country Walk's small-town feel.
