The town is truly a celebration of architecture, public space, color, and nature. It's a celebration of sensible values, good community and the best of small-town life.

Residential neighborhoods radiate out from the downtown business district in a plan that allows for a variety of house types and mixed-income neighborhoods. Front porches mediate between streets and houses. Garages are located off mid-block alleys, keeping sidewalks pedestrian-friendly.

Houses are designed according to the town's Residential Architectural Guidelines, ensuring an appropriately Southern character.

Apart from its imaginative design and proximity to the Walt Disney World Resort, the town of Celebration is known for not allowing short term rentals.  This ensures a peaceful, family-friendly community inhabited only by residents instead of transient vacationers.
