What it’s like
The place. Kenansville is a town in Osceola County, Florida. Across the county, most homes are lived in by their owners rather than rented. Winters are mild, summers are hot, and rain falls heavily through much of the year.
Work. Many residents work in restaurants, hotels and entertainment, in schools, hospitals and social care, in shops, or in professional and business services. Unemployment in the county has risen somewhat over the past year, while the number of jobs grew slightly last year. A minority of adults hold a four-year degree, and few work from home.
Things to do. Three Lakes Wildlife Management Area is a protected area in or beside town, good for an easy outing into open land and wetlands. Lake Kissimmee State Park, a protected area a longer drive away, and Bok Tower Gardens, a botanical garden also a longer drive away, make fuller day trips.
