Concept
Harmony is a Master-planned green community located in Osceola County, Florida. The community is designed to create a balanced environment where both humans and nature can thrive. Much of this balance has been created by leaving 7,700 acres of the community as open space, which provides a sanctuary for the local wildlife and stunning views for the residents.
Harmony has been recognized by several organizations as a great eco-friendly place to live. In addition to being certified by the Florida Green Building Coalition, Harmony was also chosen as a top Master-planned community by Where to Retire Magazine®.
In addition to the sprawling open prairie, the community also offers the following green amenities:
- 2 fishing lakes offering nearly 1,000 acres of open water
- A championship golf course, which borders a beautiful wildlife habitat
- Streetlights designed to prevent unnecessary up lighting - Harmony is committed to maintaining dark skies
- Dozens of parks, nature trails, and dog parks for residents and animals to enjoy

There are great K-12 schools all within walking distance from the community, which makes getting the kids to school a breeze. Within the community there is a Town Center, which plays host to many community activities. There is also a large pool, where families can come enjoy the sunny Florida days.
There is a full time social director who puts out a monthly calendar of activities, which include things like kids fishing, golf tournaments, mom & me activities, and yoga, among many more.
