Del Webb Lakewood Ranch
Del Webb Lakewood Ranch is a gated 55+ active adult community located within the highly desirable master-planned community of Lakewood Ranch on Florida's Gulf Coast. Development began in 2016 and was completed in 2025, creating a community that combines relatively recent construction with completed amenities, beautifully landscaped neighborhoods enhanced by years of homeowner improvements, and a thriving resident lifestyle.
At the heart of the community is a 21,000-square-foot clubhouse and amenity center featuring a fitness center, group fitness studio, activity and gathering spaces, arts and crafts areas, Wi-Fi cafe, and spaces for clubs, classes and social events. Outdoors, residents enjoy two community pools, pickleball, tennis and bocce courts, a dog park, event lawn, outdoor gathering areas, and walking and biking opportunities throughout the community.
The main amenity center features a heated resort-style pool with a separate dedicated lap-swimming section and large spa. A second neighborhood pool, affectionately known by residents as the "Little Dipper," provides another convenient setting for swimming and relaxing.
One of Del Webb Lakewood Ranch's greatest strengths is the depth and variety of its active resident lifestyle. More than 70 resident clubs create opportunities to connect through shared interests, recreation, culture and community service, while an equally active sports and fitness community keeps residents moving. Pickleball and tennis are particularly popular, complemented by swimming, water volleyball, billiards, fitness classes and other organized recreational activities and team involvement.
The social calendar extends well beyond sports and fitness. Residents participate in on-site parties and gatherings, special-interest activities and philanthropic events benefiting local charitable organizations, as well as outings to cultural performances, restaurants and attractions throughout the Sarasota-Lakewood Ranch area. Residents can maintain a very full calendar or participate selectively, making it easy to create a lifestyle that reflects their individual interests and pace.
Del Webb Lakewood Ranch does not have its own golf course or require a golf membership, giving residents flexibility in choosing how and where they play. A variety of local golf opportunities are available throughout Lakewood Ranch and the surrounding area, including public and daily-fee play, resident-organized golf groups and optional private club memberships. Nearby golf and club choices include Lakewood Ranch Golf & Country Club, Calusa Country Club, Rosedale Golf & Country Club and other area courses, with access and membership options varying by club.
Location is another important part of the Del Webb Lakewood Ranch lifestyle. The community is positioned near one of the area's most developed concentrations of shopping, dining, fitness, wellness and personal services. Lakewood Ranch Main Street, Waterside Place and the University Town Center area offer an impressive selection of restaurants, shops, specialty markets, fitness studios, spas and everyday conveniences. Sarasota's downtown cultural district, St. Armands Circle and Gulf Coast beaches expand those choices even further.
The surrounding area continues to add exceptional lifestyle options. Life Time Lakewood Ranch, scheduled to open in October 2026, will add a luxury athletic country club experience with extensive fitness and studio programming, indoor and outdoor pickleball, resort-style aquatic facilities, spa and recovery amenities, dining and social spaces. Membership is optional and separate from Del Webb.
Homebuyers can choose among attached villas and single-family residences representing a variety of floor plans, homesite settings and architectural styles built throughout the community's development. Many resale homes have benefited from thoughtful owner upgrades, expanded outdoor living spaces and enhanced landscaping, giving buyers opportunities to purchase homes that have evolved beyond their original builder finishes. Buyers can also see the actual homesite setting, surrounding properties, views and landscaping before making their purchasing decision.
For buyers considering Del Webb Lakewood Ranch, experienced independent representation can be particularly valuable when comparing floor plans, homesite locations, resale improvements, community fees and other active adult options throughout Lakewood Ranch.
