It’s true! The fast-growing master-planned community in south Sarasota County has a new name and lots of plans for future development. It’s not only the fast growing in the area, it is the fourth fastest-selling master-planned community in the entire U.S., with an average 1,300 sales per year. Keep reading to find out why.

The West Villages is now a district within Wellen Park which has gained an additional 7,000 acres and includes two more districts: Playmore, which encompasses CoolToday Park, spring training home of the Atlanta Braves; and Downtown Wellen, an adjacent shopping and entertainment district scheduled for completion in early 2022. Downtown Wellen’s 175 lakefront acres will include waterfront dining, a town hall, children’s playground and splash pad, food truck kiosk area, plus e-bike, paddle board, and kayak rentals.

Wellen Park is a next-generation community designed to deliver an approachable, fun-loving experience focused on living well at every stage of life. It includes Florida’s most beautiful beaches — Just 15 minutes away, highly ranked arts & culture, 18-hole golf courses & country clubs, and a network of parks & trails connecting it’s neighborhoods. It also has A-rated schools & renowned continuing education with the best healthcare right around the corner including numerous hospitals and health centers. There’s something for everyone – and everything for you.

From boutique shops to live music, all-day eateries to stunning sunsets, there’s always something fun happening and Cool Today Park is a big part of the action. Baseball fans have plenty to cheer about at the new Spring Training Facility for the Atlanta Braves. And when it isn’t hosting games, CoolToday Park is the perfect place for concerts, movie nights, happy hours, and other fun events for the community.

Just down the road from Cool Today park is GranPark, the best location to live that ballpark life. It’s the newest exceptional community from Sam Rodgers Homes, known for superior craftsmanship, fresh designs, and customized luxury!

We’re excited to announce that Sam Rodgers Homes will soon be breaking ground in our brand new, upscale neighborhood of GranPark within the master-planned community of Wellen Park! This September we will begin the construction of 42 homes in the $500,000 to $1 million range in the new Playmore District at the southwest corner of Tamiami Trail and West Villages Parkway. It will be a 63-acre gated community, of which 21 acres will get developed. The balance of the property is nature preserves and wildlife habitats. This new Sam Rodgers Homes location is on the same larger block of space in which the Atlanta Braves spring training complex sits and will also have common boundaries with Island Walk.

Rebranded back in April, Wellen Park was formerly known as the West Villages and began along Tamiami Trail and River Road at the former Taylor Ranch. North Port annexed parts of it in 2000 and now consists of several gated neighborhoods including a commercial district. At build­out, Wellen Park will contain some 20,000 homes and 50,000 residents, or about two ­thirds of North Port’s current population. It’s compared to other master-planned or contained communities such as Lakewood Ranch in northern Sarasota County and Manatee County, The Villages near Ocala, or Babcock Ranch in Charlotte County.

Wellen Park is a special place, full of good vibes and fun times that only slow down when you decide it’s time. You’ll begin each day with a smile, surrounded by everything you need to be your best and happiest self. Thriving connections. Friendly neighborhoods. A downtown with shops, restaurants, and sunsets galore. There are hundreds of ways to brighten your days, enlivened by the natural wonderland of Florida’s always amazing West Coast. Imagine your best day ever… every day with the same quality construction, customized design and personalized floor plans you’ve come to know from Sam Rodgers Homes in nearby Gran Paradiso.
