Explore by Del Webb Verona Homes for Sale in Land O' Lakes, FL

Explore by Del Webb Verona is a coming-soon, pre-construction community, not a place you can buy a home today. PulteGroup announced on June 29, 2026 that it had acquired roughly 419 acres in central Pasco County, said it would break ground within weeks, and set home sales to begin in mid-2027.

The plan is 843 homesites under the Explore by Del Webb banner. Floor plans, square footages, bedroom counts, and prices have not been released; listing portals show pricing as coming soon.

One point buyers should get right from the start: despite the Del Webb name, this is not an age-restricted 55+ community. Explore by Del Webb is PulteGroup's all-ages brand, built to deliver the amenity and programming model Del Webb developed for active adults, but open to buyers of any age. PulteGroup's announcement and Tampa Bay Business & Wealth's coverage both state the concept carries no age restriction. Verona is the fourth Explore community announced nationally and the second in Florida, after North River Ranch in Parrish.

The Del Webb piece sits inside a much larger master plan. Verona, led by Eisenhower Property Group, is planned for roughly 2,500 homes from multiple builders on about 1,500 acres (PulteGroup's release describes the master vision at up to 2,800 homesites with a school and commercial parcels; the developer's own figure is about 2,500 homes, so treat the total as a range until the plat settles).

Because this is pre-launch, the real work now is getting on the builder's interest list and lining up representation, not chasing a price that does not exist yet.

The announced amenity list is the most concrete thing about this community so far, and it is unusually specific for a pre-launch project: fitness and movement studios, massage rooms, infrared saunas, cold plunges, a lazy river, pickleball courts, a bar and grill, and gathering spaces, per PulteGroup's June 29, 2026 release.

The broader Verona master plan adds its own layer: a clubhouse, resort-style pool, fitness center, pickleball courts, playgrounds, picnic areas, a dog park, and a trail network, with the developer targeting summer 2027 completion for master amenities, per Mattamy Homes' June 2026 release.

The land story is also notable. Verona sits inside a roughly 3,500-acre property, and Eisenhower has committed about 2,000 acres to open space, agricultural, or recreational use under a restrictive covenant with Pasco County. That preserved acreage is a durable differentiator in a corridor that is otherwise building out fast.

Momentum is real on the ground: on July 7, 2026, Tampa Bay Business & Wealth reported that five builders closed on the first 667 homesites in the multi-builder section of Verona, with Homes by WestBay taking 174, David Weekley 152, Mattamy 145, Pulte Homes 102, and Highland Homes 94, and more builders expected to be announced later in 2026. The Del Webb 843-homesite community is separate from, and in addition to, those builder sections.

Treat every number as unconfirmed until Del Webb formally opens sales, targeted for mid-2027. There is no published HOA figure; an amenity package this heavy will have to be funded, so get the dues, the amenity-fee structure, and exactly what they cover in writing before you sign anything.

Confirm whether a Community Development District or similar special assessment applies. Large Pasco master plans commonly carry them, and nothing has been published either way for Verona; verify on the Pasco County tax roll rather than assume.

School zoning does not exist yet for this site. This is Pasco County Schools territory, the master plan reserves a school site, and assignments will be set closer to occupancy; confirm zoning by address with the district before you rely on any school assumption.

Confirm the exact location and entrance. The site is off SR 52 about four miles west of I-75 in the Land O' Lakes area; the mailing ZIP shown on listing portals (34639) and the final addresses should be verified once the plat records. And remember that on any new-construction purchase, the first-year tax bill often reflects the unimproved lot and resets sharply once the home is on the roll; budget the true post-construction number, and remember the builder's sales staff works for the builder, not for you.

The comparison that matters most is the one buyers will get wrong: Explore by Del Webb Verona versus Del Webb Bexley. Bexley is Del Webb's established 55+ age-restricted community in Land O' Lakes, already built and reselling; Verona is all-ages and will not sell its first home until mid-2027. A 55+ buyer who wants the age-restricted version of Del Webb in Pasco is shopping Bexley, not Verona. A buyer of any age who wants the Del Webb amenity model without the age restriction is Verona's actual target. Beyond that, the honest cross-shop set is Pasco's big master plans: Connerton and Angeline are established, actively selling master-planned communities in the Land O' Lakes area, and Wilderness Lake Preserve offers a resale route into an amenitized Land O' Lakes community today. Within Verona itself, the multi-builder sections (Homes by WestBay, David Weekley, Mattamy, Pulte Homes, Highland Homes) will offer non-Del Webb product on 40- to 60-foot lots on a similar timeline. The honest read: Verona's edge is the announced amenity package and the preserved acreage; its catch is timing, because nothing is for sale until roughly mid-2027.

Explore by Del Webb Verona fits the buyer who wants the Del Webb amenity-and-programming model without an age restriction, is early and patient, and is willing to wait out a mid-2027 sales launch to get ground-floor positioning in a new Pasco master plan. It does not fit the buyer who needs to move before 2027, who needs a confirmed price, HOA, or CDD figure before deciding, who specifically wants an age-restricted 55+ community (that is Del Webb Bexley, not this), or who wants finished amenities today. Anyone tracking this community should get on the builder's interest list, line up independent representation early, and confirm price, fees, CDD status, school zoning, and amenity scope in writing the moment sales open.
