Situated right in the thriving center of the rapidly expanding West Villages, the first sight that greets visitors at the new IslandWalk community is the gorgeous and stately main gate tower. An unforgettable landmark, the tower promises luxury, space, exclusivity and security, all of which are indeed found within IslandWalk’s broad and winding streets. With a wide array of attached villas and single-family homes starting from the mid-$200,000s, IslandWalk’s modern designs and spacious floor plans offer models to please everyone.
Location is everything, and IslandWalk could not be better placed. With its main entrance opening right onto South Tamiami Trail, the region’s beautiful beaches and Venice’s historic downtown are just short drives away. Surrounding IslandWalk are numerous championship golf courses, and planned back entrances will lead directly to the Atlanta Braves’ newly opened $100 million Spring Training stadium and sports facility, as well as quick access to Manasota Beach. Even more exciting, just next door to IslandWalk is the site of West Villages’ Future Town Center, which will feature shopping, services and restaurants and become the very heart of the greater West Villages development.
IslandWalk has true 24/7-gated security. Residents within the community enjoy forested preserves; fishable lakes; miles of walkways; and the beautiful homes themselves, all completely new and luxurious. Taking advantage of its 65 years of experience, builder DiVosta—part of PulteGroup—has met or exceeded every industry requirement to create these energy-efficient smart homes. Lavishly landscaped with every space manicured and green, IslandWalk has the uplifting look and feel of an exclusive resort.
Of the 2,400 total homes in IslandWalk, just 500 remain to be sold, and the full build-out of the community is expected to be completed in two years.
“This robust sales activity reflects our great combination of quality homes paired with resort-style living and upscale amenities,” says Josh Graeve, vice president of sales for PulteGroup’s Southwest Florida Division. “IslandWalk appeals to homebuyers seeking a year-round residence or a winter retreat.”
At the community’s design studio, prospective residents can spend time browsing through the more than 8,000 home changes and fully personalize their living spaces. The low Home Owners Association fees, roughly $300 for most residents, provide for lawn irrigation and maintenance; care for all common areas; security; and two Resort Centers, one of which has already been completed.
Currently, the main Resort Center features two expansive clubhouses, a state-of-the-art fitness center, a movement studio, a lap pool, a tropical resort pool, eight tennis courts, four pickleball courts and six bocce ball courts. A main gathering room and other activities rooms allow plenty of space for meetings and parties. Residents can relax in the evenings with friends around the fire pit by the events lawn or enjoy the sunset over the lake. The second Resort Center will feature a resort-style pool with lap lanes, a spa, fitness and activity rooms, basketball, pickleball, an outdoor bar, as well as a playground and community garden.
An active lifestyle community, IslandWalk has a full-time lifestyle director, property manager and other staff, as well as a fully programmed calendar of events. At IslandWalk, there is regular live music, dance parties, yoga, wine classes, drop-in-bocce ball and tennis. There are plenty of opportunities to socialize and visit, including men’s nights, ladies’ lunches, trivia nights, bingo, poker and painting.
At IslandWalk, there is always something to do and plenty of room to do it in. Close to everything and luxuriously designed, IslandWalk is a premier address in one of the most exclusive and growing corners of our region.
