Two new Del Webb communities in Central Florida's 55+ market
Del Webb has opened two communities in Central Florida aimed at active adults: Del Webb Oasis and Del Webb Minneola. The price points overlap, the builder is the same, and both are still under construction, but the day-to-day experience in each will be pretty different. Here's what separates them.
Del Webb Oasis: smaller scale, simpler fee structure
Del Webb Oasis is planned for 422 homes, which is small by Del Webb standards. That size tends to produce a tighter neighborhood feel, and it's a real selling point for buyers who don't want to feel lost in a sprawling development.
Pricing and fees at Del Webb Oasis
Base home prices run $421,000 to $738,000. Lot premiums add $20,000 to $250,000, with conservation lots at the top of that range. At closing, there's a one-time capital contribution of $3,000. Monthly HOA fees are $504 to $566 and cover all maintenance. There is no CDD, so that single HOA payment is everything you owe.
Del Webb Minneola: lower lot premiums, more future upside
Del Webb Minneola is a larger community with a more complex fee structure, but the total monthly cost lands close to Oasis once you add everything up.
Pricing structure at Del Webb Minneola
Base prices range from $416,000 to $704,000. Lot premiums top out at $100,000, well below Oasis. The one-time capital contribution is the same $3,000. Monthly HOA fees are $374 to $394, and CDD fees run $1,650 to $2,150 annually depending on lot size. Split that CDD figure across 12 months and you're looking at roughly $137 to $179 more per month on top of the HOA, putting the real total in a similar range to Oasis.
The on-site restaurant
Minneola has an on-site restaurant open exclusively to residents. Every homeowner contributes $800 annually, and that amount converts to dining credit. Because everyone pays in, the restaurant has a built-in revenue base whether or not any individual eats there often. It's a practical way to keep a neighborhood restaurant viable long-term, and it gives the community a genuine social anchor.
Location: why Minneola's setting matters
Del Webb Minneola sits five minutes from the Green Mountain Scenic Byway and connects directly to a bike path network linking Winter Garden and downtown Clermont. The longer-range plan is the Coast to Coast trail from St. Petersburg to Titusville, which would pass through. On a bike, Winter Garden's breweries and restaurants are 15 to 30 minutes away.
The Hills of Minneola development
Adjacent to the community, the Hills of Minneola project will bring retail, restaurants, medical offices, and a Crooked Can Brewing Company location. Residents will have golf cart access. When finished, the setup will resemble the walkable, cart-friendly commercial zones around The Villages, On Top of the World, or King's Ridge in Clermont, though that completion is still years out.
The timing trade-off
Minneola's clubhouse isn't expected until 2025, and the Hills of Minneola development will take longer still. Buyers who move in early will be living alongside active construction for the first few years. Del Webb Oasis is further along, so amenities are closer to ready now. For buyers in their mid-60s or beyond who want to use the pool and fitness center from day one, that gap matters.
How to choose between them
Pick Del Webb Oasis if you want a smaller community and don't want to wait on amenities. Pick Del Webb Minneola if golf cart access to a future commercial district and a longer trail network are worth waiting for.
