Walk score: 28/100 · Bike score: 45/100
Harmony features miles of internal paved multi-use paths and nature trails, though it is not yet connected to the wider Central Florida regional trail system.
Reasons to go, and reasons to think twice
Pros
- Significantly lower violent and property crime rates compared to both county and national averages
- High median household income and high homeownership rate with well-maintained modern housing stock
- Extensive internal multi-use trail network and tranquil lakefront parks
Cons
- Geographically isolated east of St. Cloud, requiring significant driving for major commercial services
- High-speed traffic along US-192 immediately bordering the community entrance
- Limited public transit and emergency infrastructure requiring extended travel times
Homelessness: Visible homelessness is not a notable presence in Harmony due to its isolated, master-planned suburban location far from county service hubs.
