Del Webb Savannah at Heartwood

Del Webb Savannah at Heartwood is a gated 55+ active adult community of 700 new-construction single-family homes taking shape along the Jericho River in Richmond Hill, Georgia, about 30 minutes south of historic Savannah. Del Webb, a division of Pulte Homes, broke ground in 2024 with full buildout scheduled by 2027, and the community is already drawing thousands of prospective buyers drawn to its blend of Lowcountry setting and resort-style amenities. The community sits inside the 7,000-acre Heartwood master-planned development — a live-work-play town plan that also includes Pulte and Centex single-family neighborhoods, the St. Joseph's/Candler Heartwood Medical Campus, and planned retail and dining. Del Webb's 55+ section is gated and golf-cart-friendly, with marsh views of the Jericho River threading through many homesites. Homes span 1,345 to 2,712 square feet across 11 floor plans organized into three collections. The Scenic Series (Contour, Compass) offers right-sized single-story ranches starting at 1,345 sq ft with two-car garages. The Distinctive Series (Prosperity, Mystique, Palmary, Mainstay, Prestige) starts around 1,600 sq ft with flex rooms and covered lanais. The Echelon Series tops out at the 2,712 sq ft Renown with chef's kitchens, three-car garages, and optional second-story lofts. All homes feature two or three bedrooms, smart-home technology, and Del Webb's 10-year structural warranty. The heart of the community is a 15,725-square-foot Lifestyle House amenity center opening in early 2026, featuring an indoor resistance pool, fitness center, aerobics and dance studio, card room, business center, grand ballroom, catering kitchen, café, and multi-purpose meeting rooms. Outside, residents gather at a resort-style pool with cabanas, a baja deck, and patio seating overlooking a scenic pond. Pickleball, tennis, and bocce courts plus landscaped walking, biking, and jogging trails round out the active-outdoor side. The community's signature differentiator is The Fish Camp — a riverfront gathering spot on the Jericho River with a dock, kayak launch, and firepit that gives residents direct water access most Del Webb communities can't offer. A full-time Lifestyle Director programs year-round clubs, classes, and social events spanning kayaking, pickleball, tennis, bocce, fitness, cards, and special-interest groups. Heartwood homebuyers also get an exclusive opt-in to Sapelo Hammock Golf Club with the initiation fee waived. Richmond Hill itself is a small coastal Georgia town with an authentic main-street feel, easy I-95 access, and Highway 144 running through it. Residents are roughly 30 minutes from downtown Savannah's historic squares, waterfront, restaurants, and cultural scene, and about 30 minutes from Savannah/Hilton Head International Airport. Fort McAllister State Park, Fort McAllister Marina, the Ogeechee River, and the Georgia coast are all within a short drive, making this a strong fit for active adults who want a quiet Lowcountry home base with real water access and a major city in reach.
