Del Webb at Traditions sits on Gilcrest Farm Road in Wake Forest, North Carolina, and is part of the Traditions Neighborhood, where folks aged 55 and up can settle into homes designed for easy living and plenty of activity, and the whole area is pretty close to downtown Raleigh with quick routes to I-540, shopping, restaurants, parks, and golf courses, so you don't feel far from anything you might need or enjoy. There are nine home designs, most of them with options for one-story or two-story living, and things like open living spaces, laundry rooms next to the main bedroom, and fixed attic staircases, which make moving around and taking care of chores a lot simpler. The community features 455 homes, all designed with energy efficiency and a certain standard of craftsmanship, and residents can have anywhere from two to four bedrooms and bathrooms to fit their needs, with ways to make homes feel more personal.
There's a good bit to do around Del Webb at Traditions because it has walking and biking trails, and sits within walking distance to parks like JB Flaherty Park and Wake Forest Reservoir Park, while outside folks can enjoy tennis courts, pickleball courts, bocce courts, and they even plan on adding a dog park and a place where people can garden. The big draw for social activity is the 18,000 square-foot clubhouse and the Regency Manor community center, as well as a four-season pool, fitness room, spa, games room, library, and a movie theater, and there's a Lifestyle Director onsite who helps run activities, programs, and clubs which residents can join or even create themselves. This community aims to keep people active physically, mentally, and socially, with scheduled daily activities, arts rooms, a wellness room, and space for aerobics.
Each home comes with things people often want as they age, like walk-in showers, private bathrooms, kitchenettes, air conditioning, cable TV, Wi-Fi, and a phone, so everyone can stay comfortable. Professional staff helps with housekeeping, laundry, meal preparation with all-day dining available, and they serve meals in a dining room with options for allergies or diabetes. For those who need extra support, Del Webb at Traditions provides assisted living and memory care with services like help with bathing, dressing, and medication, and there's a 24-hour call system and supervision to give peace of mind.
There's a homeowner portal called the Del Webb Portal for logging in requests or handling service needs, and the mortgage learning center and Pulte Mortgage service help make buying a home more manageable, plus they offer a 10-year warranty and resources like home care guides. The site covers 14 acres zoned for different uses-including single-family and townhomes, assisted living, and some light commercial spaces-so it feels more like a well-rounded neighborhood than a lonely retirement spot, especially with places like Regency Manor opening as a community hub where people gather, relax, or join in activities, with early access for folks who like to be up at dawn. With housekeeping, move-in help, concierge service, scheduled programs, and the variety of resident-led gatherings, Del Webb at Traditions works for those who aim to stay as independent and active as possible while having services nearby if help is needed.
