Stoney Creek

Stoney Creek is Northwest Ohio's premier 55+ active lifestyle community, developed by Gulfstream Development on a scenic 115-acre site in Monclova, just outside Toledo. Upon completion, the community will include 273 single-family villa-style homes clustered around a central lake and an 8-acre wooded nature preserve threaded with walking trails. Residents enter through a Florida-style roundabout that overlooks the lake, setting a resort tone the moment you arrive. Gulfstream Homes offers three home collections with more than 20 floor plans, giving buyers unusual flexibility for a community this size. The Classic Collection ranges from 2,008 to 2,560 square feet with two bedrooms, two bathrooms, and an attached two-car garage. The Premier Collection spans 2,230 to 2,713 square feet and steps up to two or three bedrooms and a three-car garage. The Estate Collection, the largest of the three, runs from 2,500 to 2,987 square feet. Every home is EnergyStar-rated with 2x6 exterior walls, and plans can be customized by Gulfstream's in-house architect. Lakefront homesites are a standout — owners on the water can build a small dock and keep an electric pontoon boat, and residents regularly kayak and canoe on the lake. The lifestyle here is low-maintenance by design. The monthly HOA starts at $135 (depending on lot size) and covers lawn mowing, fertilization, snow removal, and use of the amenity center — a big draw for buyers tired of Ohio winters and weekend yard work. The amenity campus includes a clubhouse with multipurpose rooms, a fitness center, an outdoor pool and patio, and pickleball courts, with additional walking trails planned through the wooded preserve. Location is one of Stoney Creek's quieter advantages. The community sits in a pocket of Monclova Township surrounded by established upscale neighborhoods like Breckenridge and The Quarry, with Anthony Wayne Local Schools nearby (a plus for resale and for visiting grandkids). Everyday shopping — Aldi, Kroger, Walmart, Walgreens — is just minutes away, and the Shops at Fallen Timbers outdoor mall offers dining and a Cinemark theater. Downtown Toledo is a roughly 20-minute drive, putting the Toledo Museum of Art, the Toledo Zoo, Hollywood Casino, and Mud Hens baseball within easy reach. Nature lovers have Oak Openings Preserve Metropark and Side Cut Metropark nearby, and golfers can choose from Valleywood, Fallen Timbers Fairways, Brandywine Country Club, and Riverby Hills. Toledo Express Airport is under 10 minutes away, and Detroit Metro Airport is about an hour north via the Ohio Turnpike, which is just minutes from the community entrance.
