In the Disney magic world you can live
Movies and cartoons, filmed by Walt Disney, know everything. Visitors to the Disney World theme park are also dreamed of by children and adults around the world. But Disney's activity in the real estate market is not so widely known.
Meanwhile, the idea of combining expensive housing with an amusement park was born even at Walt Disney itself, Forbes said. The company's founders call this settlement "an experimental prototype of the future community" - it is planned that about 20 thousand people will live in it, and most of the roads will be laid underground. However, this idea remains on paper.
In the residential real estate market, Disney just entered in 1996, when building a town near Disney World in Florida called Selebreyshn. On the one hand, the project is distinguished by its sophisticated layout and excellent transport accessibility. However, the dream of many rich people to own their own home in the Disney magic world and remain unrealized - the houses are located right next to the famous park.
Everything changed in 2011. At the heart of Disney World, on the golf course grounds, the company designed a luxury residential area on Golden Oak with an area of 396 acres, named after Walt Disney farm in California. In Golden Oak there are no apartments - all housing in this village is a separate house area of 278-1115 square meters.
By the way, those who want to settle in Golden Oak can not buy a finished house, but build it independently, after buying only a piece of land. But there are some significant limitations. Home construction can only be done by companies authorized by Golden Oak Realty (the Disney unit managing the project), and their design should not be out of the general concept of the village.
With the infrastructure in Golden Oak everything is organized: for example, in the complex area there are aquapark, spa and tennis courts. There is also the only restaurant in Florida, which receives the prestigious AAA Five Diamond award. And the management company provides residents of Golden Oak with a variety of different services - from cleaning and repairing homes to organizing parties and celebrations.
It is such a pleasure not cheap - house prices in Golden Oak start at $ 2 million, and have to pay at least $ 5 million, but those who want to settle in Walt Disney World price is not scaring for housing in the most prestigious part of the complex called Four Seasons -. 70% of the plots in Golden Oak have been sold and built.
