Del Webb recently announced it’s planning to open a new active adult community in North Fort Myers, with at least 900 homes.

Dubbed Del Webb Oak Creek, the gated community will be off Bayshore Road, a mile west of Interstate 75, according to a statement. Single-family homes in the community will range from 1,405 to just more than 3,000 square feet of living space with two to four bedrooms, two to four-and-a-half bathrooms, and two- and three-car garages. Sales are expected to begin this summer, the release adds.

“We’re excited to introduce Del Webb Oak Creek to the area, a special community offering a new way of living, not just a place to live,” says Richard McCormick, the area president of PulteGroup’s Florida Divisions, parent of the Del Webb brand.

Del Webb Oak Creek is well underway with land development and a five-home model park, the release states. The community offers a dozen new home designs and homesites overlooking 80 acres of lakes and more than 90 acres of preserves. The project includes a 6-acre amenity campus that features a grand clubhouse with a state-of-the-art fitness center, a movement studio for exercise classes, a catering kitchen, and community and activity rooms. A separate, full-service poolside bar and grill offers casual daytime and dinner fare, open-air and patio dining and additional seating under the adjacent Tiki hut. Poolside destinations include a fire pit lounge area and heated spa overlooking the lake, and chaise lounges and seating areas immersed in palms and tropical landscaping.

The community also has eight pickleball courts and three bocce ball courts. A full-time, on-site lifestyle director will plan a year-round calendar of community clubs, classes, outings and events.

“Del Webb is the country’s leading builder of new homes and communities for active adults for a reason — we understand the lifestyle discerning adults want for this chapter of their lives,” says McCormick. “They want resort-style living, and they deserve to feel like they’re on vacation every day.”
