The Most Included Value in Port St. Lucie
March 25, 2026 3 Minute Read
What’s Included in Your New Home Matters More Than You Think
When comparing new homes in Port St. Lucie, it’s easy to focus on base price alone. But what truly defines value isn’t just the starting number, it’s everything that comes along with it. At Catalina Palms at Sundance, the difference is clear the moment you look beyond the price sheet. Because here, many of the features that other builders consider upgrades are already included from the start.
Designed Around What Today’s Buyers Want
At Akel Homes, we understand that today’s buyers, especially those 55+, value a home that feels complete without the need for costly upgrades. They’re looking for a home that already includes the features that matter most. That’s why, instead of offering a long list of upgrades, we’ve taken a different approach: we’ve built those sought-after features into the home from the beginning. The result is a more complete home, a simpler process, and a better overall value, without the need to continually add on.
More Comes Included at Catalina Palms
From the inside out, every home is designed with a level of quality and completeness that allows you to move in with confidence. Every element is curated with intention, down to the details you see and the ones you don’t. Such as:
- Elevated Kitchens & Cabinetry: Designer cabinetry, granite or quartz countertops, oversized islands, and a full suite of LG® or KitchenAid® stainless steel appliances
- Refined Flooring & Interior Finishes: Large-format porcelain tile throughout main living areas, 8’ interior doors, and clean, modern trim details that create a cohesive, upscale look
- Spa-Inspired Bathrooms Frameless glass shower enclosures, zero-entry walk-in showers, comfort-height cabinetry and commodes, and designer tile carried through floors and walls
- Smart Home & Connected Living: The Akel Connect Smart Home package, including a touchscreen control panel, smart thermostat, video doorbell, and mobile control of your home from anywhere
- Advanced Electrical & Lighting Design: LED recessed lighting, CAT6 wiring, ceiling fan pre-wiring, and a modern electrical package designed for today’s lifestyle
- Built for Florida Living: Concrete block construction, impact-resistant windows and doors, spray foam insulation, energy-efficient systems, and a screened lanai with brick paver driveway and entry
These aren’t features you have to add; they’re already part of the home. And that’s what sets Catalina Palms apart: a level of quality, comfort, and completeness that makes it one of the best values in Port St. Lucie.
The Value Is in What You Don’t Have to Add
In many new home communities, the price you see is just the beginning. Structural options, design upgrades, and essential features can quickly add up. At Catalina Palms, much of that is already built in.
That means:
- Fewer unexpected costs
- Less decision fatigue during the building process
- And a home that feels finished from the start
Why It Adds Up to the Best Value in Port St. Lucie
When you combine quality construction, thoughtfully included features, and a home designed around what today’s buyers truly want, the value becomes clear.
At Catalina Palms, you’re not just getting a new home, you’re getting more of what matters, already included.
