Edgewater at a glance
| Status | Coming in 2027. Listed by the developer with sales starting in early 2027. |
|---|---|
| Builders | David Weekley Homes (townhomes), Mattamy Homes (single-family) |
| Home types | Townhomes and single-family homes |
| Age | All ages |
| Gated | Not stated by the developer. Ask me and I’ll find out. |
| Where it sits | West edge of Downtown Wellen. The developer says Downtown Wellen is about half a mile away. Approximate, from the developer’s June 2026 master plan map, which isn’t to scale. |
| Mailing city vs. jurisdiction | Builder sales centers here use Venice, Florida or Englewood, Florida mailing addresses. Depending on the parcel, Wellen Park, Florida falls in the City of North Port, Florida or unincorporated Sarasota County, so I check each address. |
Heidi’s take
Sales have not started. The developer says sales begin in early 2027, with David Weekley Homes listing January 2027. Everything else about Edgewater is still a plan.

Checked November 10, 2026. I leave builder prices out on purpose, because they change often and rarely match what a finished home costs. Ask me and I’ll pull the real numbers for the specific home.
