Wellen Park continues to make waves on the national stage, landing the #6 spot on RCLCO’s prestigious Mid-Year 2025 list of Top-Selling Master-Planned Communities in the United States. That’s up three spots from this time last year and a clear sign that the momentum here in South Sarasota County isn’t slowing down anytime soon.
The report, released this week by real estate advisory firm RCLCO, ranks master-planned communities by total new home sales for the first half of the year. Wellen Park posted an impressive 728 new home sales between January and June 2025, placing it among the very top of the 50 ranked developments nationwide.
That number not only represents strong demand, but also a 10% year-over-year increase in sales volume despite a housing market that has seen moderating trends in many other parts of the country.
Wellen Park Among Top Florida Players
Florida dominated this year’s rankings, with 6 of the top 10 communities located in the Sunshine State and Wellen Park right there in the mix with other heavyweights like Lakewood Ranch (#1) and The Villages (#2). Wellen Park’s combination of lifestyle, location, and thoughtful community design continues to make it one of the most attractive places to call home.
Why Buyers Keep Choosing Wellen Park
From CoolToday Park to Downtown Wellen’s restaurants, retail, and waterfront vibes, the community offers something for everyone and new neighborhoods like Wellen Park Golf & Country Club, Avelina, and Wysteria are helping meet the demand. The city’s walkable, active-lifestyle vision, anchored by parks, trails, events, and schools, is resonating not just with retirees and snowbirds, but also with young families and working professionals seeking more balance and community connection.
Looking Ahead
With new builders entering the market, an expanding commercial footprint, and continued investment in public spaces and amenities, Wellen Park is poised for another strong finish heading into the end of the year. Whether you’re watching from a kayak on the lake or a patio in Downtown Wellen, it’s clear: the future here is bright — and busy.
We’ll be keeping tabs on how the second half of 2025 plays out. But for now, hats off to Wellen Park for another national nod.
