Gogo's take on Reunion
“Go. Reunion is an upscale master-planned resort community that offers an exceptionally safe, secure, and well-maintained environment for vacationers and residents alike. While it is highly car-dependent and primarily built around golf and short-term luxury rentals, security presence and low crime rates make it very welcoming.”

Walking and biking in Reunion
Walk score: 14/100 · Bike score: 32/100
Biking and golf carting are popular within the resort's internal residential streets and paved multi-use paths, but there is no municipal bike-share system or direct connection to regional off-resort bike trails.
Reasons to go, and reasons to think twice
Pros
- Gated resort community with 24/7 manned security checkpoints and very low violent crime
- Affluent economic profile with high property values and pristine landscaping
- Abundant resort amenities including multiple golf courses, pools, and on-site dining
Cons
- High volume of transient short-term renters can occasionally lead to noise complaints or minor opportunistic property theft
- Completely car-dependent for standard retail, groceries, and services outside resort grounds
- High vacancy rates driven by seasonal and vacation-home ownership rather than permanent residency
Homelessness: Visible homelessness is practically non-existent within Reunion due to perimeter gating, private property restrictions, and round-the-clock security access control.

Transit, parking and getting around
Reunion is not directly served by public transit. Osceola County is served by LYNX bus services along major corridors like US-192 and US-27, but reaching the nearest stop requires a car or rideshare, and the nearest SunRail commuter train station (Poinciana) is roughly 10 miles away.
Parking is ample and convenient, primarily consisting of private driveways, garages at vacation homes, and free dedicated lots at resort clubhouses and amenities.
