It's organized into 18 subdivisions, so the feel changes from street to street — from maintenance-free villas to larger single-family homes and gated 55+ enclaves. Tying it all together is the Town Center: a charming, walkable village with restaurants, a luxury spa, fitness, a general store, and a stunning resort-style pool on the lake.

Amenities & lifestyle
At the center of it all is an 18-hole championship golf course and the Town Center, where you can walk to dinner, the spa, or the pool.

Many sections are set up for low-maintenance living, with the HOA handling exterior upkeep and lawn care — ideal for second homes and snowbirds. And you're only minutes from the New Smyrna Beach shoreline, Flagler Avenue, and the inlet.
