Del Webb Minneola stands as a premier 55+ active adult community nestled in the rolling hills of Minneola, Florida, offering residents an elevated living experience both literally and figuratively. Situated on one of Central Florida's higher points near Sugarloaf Mountain, the community provides sweeping panoramic views toward Lake Apopka and beyond, setting it apart from the typically flat landscapes of the region. Developed by Del Webb, a PulteGroup company renowned for crafting lifestyle-focused retirement communities, this master-planned neighborhood emphasizes resort-style amenities, social engagement, and low-maintenance living for active adults.
The development spans multiple phases with a total of 846 single-family homes planned across three distinct series: Scenic on smaller 40-foot lots, Distinctive on 50-foot lots, and the premium Echelon on 65-foot lots. Homes range from cozy two-bedroom designs around 1,400 square feet to expansive four-bedroom residences exceeding 3,400 square feet, all featuring modern open-concept layouts, gourmet kitchens, and outdoor living spaces tailored for Florida's climate. The community's unique topography allows for elevated walking and biking trails that take full advantage of the 130-foot elevation changes, creating scenic paths that wind through the landscape.
Location enhances accessibility while maintaining a sense of seclusion. Minneola sits conveniently near the Florida Turnpike, providing quick connections to Orlando's theme parks, downtown Clermont, Winter Garden, and major employers. Residents enjoy proximity to the Green Mountain Scenic Byway, Clermont Chain of Lakes, local wineries like Lakeridge, and emerging retail such as the Hills of Minneola Town Center and a new Crooked Can Brewery location. This blend of natural beauty, recreational opportunities, and urban conveniences makes daily life both relaxing and vibrant.
Lifestyle at Del Webb Minneola revolves around wellness, socialization, and leisure. A full-time lifestyle director organizes a calendar of events, clubs, and activities centered around the impressive two-story Vista Club clubhouse. The on-site Vue 232' Bar & Grille offers residents a dedicated dining venue with indoor and outdoor seating, complemented by an annual food and beverage minimum that supports the venue. Fitness enthusiasts benefit from a state-of-the-art center, movement studio, and various sports courts for tennis, pickleball, and more. The zero-entry pool and spa provide year-round relaxation, while community gardens and event lawns foster casual gatherings. Golf cart-friendly streets add to the carefree atmosphere.
