Del Webb Bexley sits in the Tampa Bay area as a 55+ gated community developed by PulteGroup, and you'll find it's built specifically for active adults who want comfort, care, and plenty to do, so you get single-family homes, duplexes, quadruplexes, and manufactured homes to choose from, each with their own features like attached garages with openers, private bathrooms, and things like solid wood cabinets, stone counters, and walk-in closets, as well as ceiling fans to help with the Florida heat. Many homes have a screened lanai with a privacy wall, and some are pre-plumbed for a wet bar and beverage center, which can be nice if you like having things set up for guests, and you'll also see open floorplans that let in a lot of natural light, kitchen/family room combos, and in many cases a primary suite with water views and a bathroom with dual sinks and a walk-in shower, and the houses are all single-story with block and stucco construction and shingle roofs.
In the community, there's maintenance-free lawn care, so you don't need to worry about mowing or edging, and you get a lot of outdoor amenities too, like walking and biking trails that wind around gardens, dog parks, lakes, and green spaces, which makes it easy to get outside or just take a relaxing stroll. There's a big clubhouse called The Meridian-17,000 square feet-where residents hang out, join over 45 clubs and activities, and use things like the arts and crafts studio, the library, a ballroom for big gatherings, a movie theater, and a game room for cards or billiards, so you can stay as busy as you'd like without leaving the community. You'll find a café and bistro in the clubhouse, serving snacks, drinks, and simple meals, and dietary needs, like for diabetes or allergies, can be accommodated by the dining services there, so you don't have to worry if you're on a special diet. A full-time Lifestyle Director keeps an active calendar of social, recreational, mental, and physical activities, so residents have many ways to stay engaged.
Most residents like the resort-style pool, fitness center, aerobics studio, and sports courts for tennis, pickleball, or bocce ball, and there's a resistance pool for water aerobics too, plus a dog park and a community garden for folks who enjoy those things. There's even a planned bike shop on-site with rentals and repairs, which works well since there are over 10 miles of Avid Trails™ in the larger Bexley community, and Bexley itself offers all-ages amenities like parks, play areas, a soccer field, and a lakefront club and café if residents want to pay an extra fee for access. There's a Flex Room in some homes that can work as a home office, hobby space, or guest retreat, and homes have features like 42-inch cabinetry, granite countertops, stainless steel appliances, and large center islands with breakfast bars.
Extra services cover utilities like high-speed Wi-Fi, cable TV, air conditioning, and a 24-hour call system for emergency help, and there's housekeeping, laundry, move-in coordination, and a concierge to help out. For those who need more care, Del Webb Bexley uses a Continuing Care Retirement Community (CCRC) model offering independent living, assisted living, nursing, and memory care, so residents can get help with daily tasks, medication, or special needs if needed, and each person can get care that fits their situation. The homes built in 2022 and after have hurricane shutters, irrigation, lighting, rain gutters, and sliding doors, which fits the standards people expect in Florida.
You'll see community areas for gatherings and leisure activities, outdoor amphitheater with an event lawn for performances, multipurpose rooms for group meetings, and a wellness room with spa and sauna, so there's something for everyone, whether you're looking for quiet space or social interaction, and all of this is surrounded by landscaped outdoor areas and lots of walking paths. Del Webb Bexley tries to make things easier for seniors by having choices for room types, meal services, activities, and medical or personal care levels, aiming for both independence and support as folks age in place.
