Renaissance at a glance
| Status | Established · resale. Marked sold out on the developer's June 2026 master plan map. |
|---|---|
| Builder | Mattamy Homes |
| Home types | Paired villas and single-family homes |
| Age | Not listed by the developer as age-qualified |
| Gated | Yes, per the developer |
| Where it sits | North side of Downtown Wellen, near River Road. The developer calls it the hub of Wellen Park. 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
Paired villas share a wall and usually a sub-association. Ask what that association covers on the exterior and roof.
What the neighborhood has
- Clubhouse with events, classes, and clubs
- Resort-style pool with beach entry and lap lanes
- Tennis and pickleball
- Bocce
- Fitness center
- Tot lot
- Firepit area overlooking the lake
Amenity names are as the developer or builder describes them. Hours, access, and whether an amenity is included or a separate membership come from the association documents.
Before you write an offer
- Get the documents
Ask for the current association documents and budget for this neighborhood, plus any sub-association.
- Look up the parcel
The Sarasota County Property Appraiser and Tax Collector sites show any West Villages Improvement District line. District vs. HOA.
- Check flood and insurance
Look up the flood zone and get an insurance quote on the specific address.
- Check schools
Verify the school assignment with Sarasota County Schools.
- New construction?
Register your agent on your very first visit, and read the builder’s own contract.

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.
