Why So Many are Choosing to Get in Early at Catalina Palms at Sundance
February 26, 2026 3 Minute Read
During our Grand Opening Month, guests traveled from near and far across South Florida and beyond to experience the lifestyle taking shape at Catalina Palms at Sundance.
Many recognized the opportunity early, taking advantage of introductory pricing and securing their place at the ground level of what is quickly becoming one of Port St. Lucie’s most talked-about active adult communities. They saw the value of being among the first – selecting their ideal homesite, personalizing their space, and getting in ahead of the momentum.
But what exactly led so many visitors to make their move so quickly?
The Opportunity to Get in Early
For many future homeowners, timing played a key role.
Touring Catalina Palms early gave guests the opportunity to explore the widest selection of homesites currently available, whether they were seeking a peaceful garden view or a location close to planned community amenities. Early visitors also gained access to introductory pricing, allowing them to secure their new home while the community is still in its earliest stages of growth.
Beyond location, buyers have also been able to begin personalizing their homes through Akel Homes’ on-site Design Studio, selecting finishes and features that reflect their individual style and the way they envision living in their next chapter.
For those planning a move into an active adult community, getting in early isn’t just about purchasing a home – it’s about becoming part of the foundation of a neighborhood as it begins to take shape.
A Lifestyle Designed for Connection
While the homes themselves made a strong impression, many guests were equally excited by what lies ahead.
Plans for Club Catalina – a future 56,000-square-foot clubhouse – offer a glimpse into the social and wellness-focused lifestyle that will define daily life at Catalina Palms. Designed as a central hub for connection, Club Catalina is planned to feature spaces for fitness, recreation, and gathering with neighbors.
Together with the broader amenities planned throughout the Sundance master-planned community, these future spaces are designed to support an active lifestyle where friendships, hobbies, and wellness become part of everyday living.
Spaces That Support the Way You Want to Live
Guests touring during the Grand Opening Month also had the opportunity to explore all 18 designer-decorated model homes, gaining a better understanding of how the thoughtfully designed floorplans support the flexibility today’s active adult buyers are seeking.
From open-concept living areas ideal for entertaining to multi-generational suites for family and versatile flex spaces suited for hobbies or home offices, the homes at Catalina Palms are designed to adapt to the lifestyle of each homeowner.
For many visitors, it wasn’t just about what they saw, it was about how they imagined living.
Why Touring in Person Still Matters
While photos and renderings offer a preview, many of our earliest buyers shared that it wasn’t until they stepped inside the model homes that they truly understood how the homes – and the lifestyle – come together.
Walking through the spaces, exploring the community, and learning more about the future amenities helped them envision not just where they would live, but how they would live.
If you’ve been considering a move to an active adult community in Port St. Lucie, now is the perfect time to experience Catalina Palms at Sundance for yourself – while introductory pricing and a wide selection of homesites are still available.
