Deciding to design your home in one of North Port’s neighborhoods is an excellent way to start the next chapter of your life. You want to make sure you trust your home to only the best quality home builders. For decades Del Webb has been helping adults 55+ find new homes in active adult communities that are perfect for them.

The process starts with our collection of dream house floor plans, each designed with inspired spaces and smart home technology that help to make life in our 55+ communities more enjoyable. Many of our plans incorporate natural light and seamless indoor-outdoor flow with pocket sliding doors that connect your living spaces with your lanai, perfect for outdoor entertaining. Other plans offer innovative spaces like our Everyday Entry® where you can leave shoes and coats, helping to minimize the chances of tracking dirt and sand through the house. Regardless of plan, Del Webb also provides you with the opportunity to make your home more personalized to your style. Choose from our curated selections of granite countertops, wood-like tile and hardwood floors or consider adding tray vaulted ceilings to your rooms to help make your home uniquely yours.

Outside of the home, enjoy chances to forge new relationships in our amenity rich community. Enjoy access to our clubhouse or practice your swing on one of our tennis courts. With numerous clubs and activities organized by our on-site Lifestyle Director, there are plenty of ways to connect with other active adults.

Those who call the retirement communities in North Port home can experience serene Florida living. Some of the favorite attractions in North Port include access to nearby beaches, rivers and parks. Nestled along the Gulf Coast, the area boasts more than 40 miles of shoreline and is close to Siesta Key, one of America’s best beaches. The area is also home to several parks including the Myakka State Forest, an 8,592 acre park with four multi-use trails. Spend the afternoon on a leisurely bike ride or stroll and enjoy looking at the park’s 100+ species of birds as well as snakes, turtles and even the occasional bobcat. For the sports fan, Charlotte Sports Park, home of Tampa Bay Ray’s spring training center, is nearby.

For people looking at active adult communities and who are still working or thinking about a second career, there are several options for employers in North Port and the surrounding area. For healthcare professionals, SMH Health Care is nearby; while educators can explore opportunities at the local Sarasota County School District. Other positions in manufacturing and finance are also available.

Whether you are looking forward to retirement, or are already there, the over 55 communities in North Port provide opportunities to work and relax.

Buying your dream home in one of North Port’s over 55 communities is exciting. Don’t let concerns around home financing stand in the way of enjoying your new life. To properly plan for your retirement budgeting you should look at the values of homes in the area and explore North Port’s overall cost of living. This will help you understand how much you need to set aside to buy a new home and still have funds to enjoy the lifestyle offered by 55+ communities. While North Port’s overall cost of living is close to national average, Florida is a very senior tax-friendly state with no state income, estate, or inheritance tax and property and sales tax rates near national marks. This makes a new home in North Port more affordable for active adults.
