In certain places in the world, everyday life lives with a fantasy environment. Every detail is rigorously thought and the concept of exclusivity reaches rarely viewed dimensions. The luxury mixes with the imaginary and becomes an integral part of the routine.
Houses surrounded by magic
This is the case of a private residential community located within Walt Disney World Resort in Orlando, Florida. It’s called Golden Oak and was developed by Disney herself about 15 years ago.
The goal was to create a space for a highly exclusive audience, willing to pay millionaire values to live close to thematic parks.
Available properties include a mansion at the 10138 Enchanteed Oak Drive address, with over 650 square meters and five bedrooms. The requested amount is around $ 13 million, about 12 million euros. According to the Realtor.com portal, luxury housing has elegant arches, a large living room with exposed beams, abundant natural light, as well as pool, spa and a summer kitchen with porch.
The housing also offers views for natural conservation, garage and private balcony areas. As the same source indicated, the great differential is in the services associated with life in Golden Oak. Residents benefit from early entry in the parks with Extra Magic Hours, dedicated transport and the continuous support of the Golden Oak Member Services team.
Comfort and exclusive services
Residents have access to Summerhouse, a private luxury club where exclusive events and experiences take place. It is part of the Club Life program, designed to ensure a high lifestyle. Also according to Newsweek, the community is close to Four Seasons Resort Orlando, where there is an 18 -hole professional golf course, luxury spa, restaurants and conference rooms.
To purchase a property at Golden Oak, interested parties must submit a formal proposal. If accepted, there are monthly condominium charges worth $ 2,830, about 2,600 euros. There are also adhesion and maintenance expenses, which can reach very high values depending on the services used.
According to Alan Chang, expert in titles and scriptures in the United States, this type of investment is far beyond what is accessible to the average American. As you mentioned to Newsweek, only adhesion rates and life can be higher than the installments of most housing loans in the country. For those who have great financial resources, this can be a way to quickly apply high capitals.

Investment for the few
Also Alex Beene, professor of financial literacy at the University of Tennessee, stressed the same source that this type of acquisition represents the maximum dream for some Disney fans.
However, he stressed that for most he will continue to be just a fantasy. Even if they can afford the value of the property, the annual charges are substantial and require a high level of income.
Still, there is a small group of buyers with emotional links to Disney brand and financial capacity to realize this type of purchase.
According to, it is these people who support the high prices and the prestige of this restricted community.
A neighborhood with stable appreciation
Even with fluoride real estate oscillations after Covid-19 pandemic, Golden Oak properties maintain solid appreciation.
According to the same source, this stability results not only from the location, but also from the lasting force of the Disney brand and the constant demand on the part of the wealthy fans.
In this place, where the imagination gets shape and the fantasy enters the front door, Mickey rat is not just a childhood character. For those who can live there, he becomes neighbor of everyday life.
