Keely Burd, our local new home expert, talks lifestyle and community living with Del Webb.
In Charleston, Del Webb active adult communities are redefining 55+ living by offering more than just homes—they create a lifestyle centered around wellness, social connection, and active engagement. At the core of this experience is a thoughtfully planned calendar of activities and amenities designed to bring neighbors together and promote a high quality of life.
Christina, a dedicated Lifestyle Director at one of the Charleston-area Del Webb communities, explains that each day is packed with purpose. “We focus on activity, inclusiveness, and creating a welcoming environment from day one,” she shares.
Mornings begin early with a wide range of fitness offerings, from yoga and strength training to cardio classes. Seasonal programs like water aerobics are especially popular in the summer, taking full advantage of both indoor and outdoor pools. The indoor pool features a lap-style design ideal for exercise, while the outdoor pool offers a more resort-style atmosphere for relaxation and community events.
Beyond wellness, Del Webb active adult communities provide an extensive selection of clubs and interest groups. Residents can choose from over 70 different options—everything from arts and crafts to tennis and the ever-popular pickleball. With demand growing, some communities are even expanding their pickleball courts to accommodate more players.
“We’re building six new courts to bring our total to twelve,” Christina says, pointing to the overwhelming interest in recreational activities that keep residents engaged and active.
Social opportunities extend well beyond the community gates. Walking, running, and cycling groups often organize off-site outings and field trips, supported by the community’s lifestyle team. These excursions provide a great way to explore the Lowcountry while maintaining a strong sense of camaraderie.
For new homeowners, Del Webb makes it easy to feel at home. Monthly orientation sessions introduce residents to all the available amenities, events, and clubs. There’s also a Club and Group Expo held during the year, allowing residents to meet club leaders, ask questions, and find the right fit for their interests.
“It’s like a mini fair,” Christina says. “Each group sets up a booth with displays, flyers, and even mock activities. It helps everyone find their community within the community.”
What makes Del Webb active adult communities especially unique is their focus on inclusive luxury. Residents can reserve beautifully designed clubhouse spaces for private events, complete with a demonstration kitchen, entertainment areas, and modern amenities. Every detail is crafted to make the community feel like an extension of each resident’s personal lifestyle.
From fitness and hobbies to meaningful friendships and top-tier amenities, these communities offer a complete package for active adults seeking more than just a home. They’re choosing a place where life can be lived to the fullest.
With thriving neighborhoods like Del Webb Nexton and upcoming developments like Del Webb at Point Hope, the Charleston region continues to be a destination of choice for retirees looking for vibrant, engaging, and luxurious active adult living.
