Catalina Palms at Sundance
There’s an exciting new development on the horizon. Catalina Palms at Sundance is a 55+ active-adult community coming soon (early 2026) that offers resort-style living, modern homes and a sense of belonging tailored for grown-ups who want comfort, connection, and easy living. Here’s a look at what makes Catalina Palms worth pursuing.
🌴 What Is Catalina Palms at Sundance?
Catalina Palms is a 55+ active-adult community by Akel Homes — part of the larger 2,500-acre master-planned community Sundance in Port St. Lucie.
It’s planned as a gated, amenity-rich neighborhood offering a lifestyle built around ease, comfort, and community.
The development is positioned just off Becker Road—about two miles west of the Village Parkway & Becker Road intersection—giving residents convenient access to nearby shopping, dining, services, and major roads.
🏡 Homes & Price Range
Homes at Catalina Palms will begin in the $300s, making it a competitively priced new-construction option for active adults seeking a mix of value and amenity-rich living.
Expect a variety of designs: floor plans from roughly 1,300 to 3,400 square feet, across several collections, offering choices from cozy single-story homes to more spacious layouts — ideal whether you want downsizing simplicity or extra room for hobbies, guests, whatever you like.
As with other offerings from Akel Homes, you can anticipate a semi-custom building experience, meaning some personalization and quality features are built-in.
🎯 Lifestyle & Amenities—Club Catalina
At the heart of this community is Club Catalina—a resort-style clubhouse and amenity hub designed to elevate everyday living. Some of the highlights:
A 56,000-square-foot clubhouse — described as the social and recreational hub for residents.
Resort-style pools with cabanas for relaxing or socializing under the Florida sun.
A fitness & wellness center featuring state-of-the-art equipment, group fitness, perhaps even steam rooms/saunas—offering wellness options right in the neighborhood.
Sports and active recreation: pickleball courts, tennis courts, and for those wanting casual competitive play or social fun.
Social, creative, and lifestyle spaces: think card rooms, art studios, an exhibition/test kitchen, restaurant or bar, possibly a performance hall or lounge — great for community events, hobbies, classes, or simply gathering with neighbors.
🌆 Why Catalina Palms Makes Sense in Port St. Lucie
Since you live in Port St. Lucie, you already know some of its advantages—but Catalina builds on them:
Port St. Lucie is growing fast, yet it retains a more relaxed, suburban/suburban-resort vibe compared to urban Florida. For many 55+ buyers, that balance is ideal. Catalina Palms taps into that by offering a resort-style lifestyle without sacrificing proximity to necessities.
With easy access to shopping, dining, medical services (nearby hospital/health-care facilities), and local amenities, residents don’t have to drive far for essentials.
The fact this is new construction — built by a respected regional builder with a semi-custom approach — means buyers can expect modern design, convenience, and new-home warranties rather than the unknowns of older homes.
🕰️ What’s the Timeline—And What’s Next
As of mid-2025 (August), construction is “well underway,” with model homes and a sales center under development.
The opening and availability are planned for early 2026.
Interest is high: many prospective homeowners are already watching closely or joining interest lists—meaning early buyers may get the best picks or pre-construction pricing.
💬 For Whom Is Catalina Palms a Great Fit
Catalina Palms seems tailor-made for:
Seniors looking for a relaxed but engaging lifestyle—with amenities, community, and low-maintenance living.
People wanting a new home instead of renovating older ones—modern floor plans, fresh construction, and semi-custom options.
Neighbors or couples who value social connection, staying active (fitness, pickleball/tennis), and communal amenities without living in a big city.
Residents who want convenience, access to healthcare, shopping, and still enjoy the laid-back Florida lifestyle, especially knowing other parts of Port St. Lucie are familiar to you.
