Del Webb Sunchase

Del Webb Sunchase is a newer, roughly 1,000-home, 55-plus gated community under active construction in Parrish, anchored by the Solara amenity center and priced from the $300,000s.

Located in Parrish, part of the Sarasota-Bradenton / Gulf Coast region.

  • 55+ Age-Restricted
  • Gated

Del Webb Sunchase is an age-restricted, 55-plus, gated community developed by Del Webb, the active-adult brand of national homebuilder PulteGroup, in Parrish, Manatee County, within the fast-growing corridor between Sarasota-Bradenton and Tampa Bay. The community spans 427 acres and is planned for roughly 1,000 homes, with one source citing a more specific figure of 1,003 homes; construction began in 2024 and the community remains under active new-home sales as of this research. Del Webb Sunchase offers 18 unique home designs ranging from 1,256 to 2,269 square feet, with 2 to 4 bedrooms, 2 to 5 bathrooms, and attached 2-3 car garages. Pricing has shown some spread across sources: figures cited range from the $300,000s at the lower end up to roughly $652,570 to $658,950 for specific active listings, a range consistent with a still-actively-selling new-construction community where pricing typically trends upward as phases turn over. Buyers should confirm current pricing and available inventory directly with the Del Webb sales office rather than relying on any single historical figure, since new-construction pricing at actively selling communities changes frequently. The community’s amenity center, Solara, anchors daily life at Del Webb Sunchase and is reported at approximately 17,000 square feet, featuring a lounge, a modern fitness center, a multipurpose room and gathering space, and the "Beachwood Tap" bar and grille with both indoor and outdoor seating. Outdoor amenities include lap and resistance pools with a poolside fire pit, pickleball and bocce courts, cabanas, an arts and crafts room, a dog park, walking trails, and a community garden, all coordinated through a full-time lifestyle director. HOA fees run approximately $262 to $452 per month, a figure consistently reported across the sources reviewed for this research. Specific Community Development District information was not independently confirmed and should be verified directly with Manatee County or the HOA before purchasing. For healthcare access, Del Webb Sunchase sits near Manatee Memorial Hospital and HCA Florida Blake Hospital, with Lakewood Ranch Medical Center also serving the broader Manatee-Sarasota county area; no source provided a specific mileage figure from the community itself, so residents should confirm current drive times directly. Airport-distance estimates conflict meaningfully across sources: one describes both Tampa International and Sarasota-Bradenton International airports as roughly an hour away, while another describes the broader Parrish corridor as being about 30 minutes from both Sarasota and Tampa. Given this inconsistency, prospective residents who travel frequently should verify actual drive times themselves rather than relying on either figure in isolation. As one of the newer entries in Del Webb’s Florida portfolio, Del Webb Sunchase offers buyers the advantage of new-construction product and a currently forming community identity, distinct from more established, largely built-out Del Webb communities elsewhere in the state. Buyers should weigh the trade-offs of an actively developing community, including ongoing nearby construction and a gradually maturing amenity and social calendar, against the appeal of selecting from current floor plans and finishes as the community continues toward its planned roughly 1,000-home build-out. Del Webb Sunchase’s Parrish location places it within one of the Sarasota-Bradenton region’s fastest-growing corridors, positioned between the established amenity base of Lakewood Ranch to the south and Tampa Bay’s broader metro area to the north. That positioning gives residents a genuine choice of daily destinations for shopping, dining, and healthcare without being fully dependent on any single nearby city, though it also means the surrounding area continues to see substantial new residential and commercial construction as Parrish itself grows. Buyers who value being at the leading edge of a still-developing corridor, with the amenity investment and lower entry pricing that often comes with an actively selling new community, may find Del Webb Sunchase’s combination of new-construction product and 18 distinct floor plans a genuine advantage over more built-out, and often pricier, alternatives elsewhere in Manatee and Sarasota counties. Prospective buyers should nonetheless budget time for direct verification of the community’s current pricing, exact HOA obligations, and realistic commute times to the hospitals and airports serving the area, given the inconsistencies in drive-time estimates identified across the sources reviewed for this research, before making a final purchase decision, since much of the pricing and fee data available for this still-developing, actively selling community is likely to shift meaningfully as additional construction phases release over the coming years. As with any new-construction Del Webb community, early buyers into Sunchase’s first phases may benefit from lower relative pricing compared to later phases, a pattern seen consistently across Del Webb’s Florida portfolio as amenity investment and demand typically push later-phase pricing upward over a community’s multi-year build-out timeline.

Age Restriction

Del Webb Sunchase is an age-restricted, 55-plus, gated community developed by Del Webb, the active-adult brand of national homebuilder PulteGroup, in Parrish, Manatee County. The community is consistently described as "55+" and age-restricted across marketing and third-party sources, though an explicit citation of the standard Florida 80/20 Housing for Older Persons Act allowance by name was not found in this research and should be verified directly against the community’s governing documents before purchasing. Del Webb Sunchase is a distinct community from Del Webb BayView, also in Parrish; facts specific to one should never be attributed to the other.

Housing Types

  • Single-family homes

Pricing

Del Webb Sunchase spans 427 acres and is planned for roughly 1,000 homes (one source cites 1,003 specifically), with construction beginning in 2024 and active new-construction sales ongoing. The community offers 18 unique home designs ranging from 1,256 to 2,269 square feet with 2 to 4 bedrooms and 2 to 5 bathrooms and attached 2-3 car garages. Pricing sources conflict somewhat: figures cited range from the $300,000s up to roughly $652,570-$658,950 for active listings; as an actively selling new-construction community, buyers should confirm current pricing and available inventory directly with the sales office rather than relying on any single historical figure.

Getting Around

Healthcare: Del Webb Sunchase is positioned near Manatee Memorial Hospital and HCA Florida Blake Hospital (Blake Medical Center), with Lakewood Ranch Medical Center also cited as bridging the Manatee and Sarasota county area; no source provided a specific mileage figure to any single facility from the community itself, and this should be confirmed directly by residents.

Airport: Sources give inconsistent estimates: one describes both Tampa International Airport and Sarasota-Bradenton International Airport as "about an hour" away, while another describes the broader Parrish corridor as "30 minutes to both Sarasota and Tampa." These figures conflict meaningfully and no single authoritative mileage was found; residents should verify current drive times directly.

How Parrish Compares

  • Lakewood Ranch vs Parrish for Retirement: Two Manatee County New-Construction Communities Compared

    Lakewood Ranch and Parrish are both inland Manatee County master-planned communities built almost entirely on new construction, and both are magnets for retirees drawn to modern home construction over historic character. But they sit at very different stages of maturity. Lakewood Ranch is a large, mature, nationally ranked master-planned community with three walkable commercial nodes, an estimated population near 39,000, and more than two decades of build-out behind it — it has been repeatedly ranked the #1 selling master-planned community in the country. Parrish is a newer, still-forming community a short drive north, with almost no existing commercial core of its own, a younger overall median age, and its identity still very much in progress as developments like North River Ranch and Rye Ranch continue building out. Both offer Del Webb-branded active-adult sections, both sit largely outside the highest-risk coastal flood zones, and both are meaningfully more affordable to insure than Gulf-front communities in the same region. The practical choice between them usually comes down to how much a buyer values Lakewood Ranch’s established amenities, dining, and civic identity against Parrish’s lower price point, newer housing stock, and readiness to be part of a community that is still actively taking shape.
