Catalina Palms at Sundance is Akel Homes' first 55+ active adult community, a gated neighborhood inside the new Sundance master plan in west Port St. Lucie, FL 34987. It is expected to grow to roughly 1,100 to 1,300 homes, and Akel offers single-family homes and villas in five collections, from about 1,400 to 3,400 square feet.
Two things set Catalina Palms apart from other Port St. Lucie 55+ choices. First, the clubhouse: Club Catalina is planned at about 56,000 square feet, which Akel bills as the largest in Port St. Lucie. Second, Akel advertises no CDD fees, and a CDD can add a meaningful amount to the annual tax bill in many newer communities.

Akel groups its designs into five collections that step up in size and price: an entry collection of lifestyle villas for buyers who want low-maintenance living, then four collections of single-family homes that move from comfortable two-bedroom-plus-den plans up to large estate homes. That range lets a buyer who wants a lock-and-leave villa and a buyer who wants a three-car garage and a pool live in the same 55+ community.
Catalina Palms is still in its early phases, so most homes on the market are builder inventory, with resales starting to appear. See the live listings for what is available now, and call for a side-by-side of builder incentives versus a resale.
Club Catalina is designed as the social center of the community, with a resort-style pool and spa, a fitness center, a pickleball complex and tennis courts, an art studio, a culinary or demonstration kitchen, card and social rooms, on-site dining and space for live entertainment. For many 55+ buyers the clubhouse and activity calendar matter as much as the house, so ask to tour it and see the event schedule before you choose a lot.
Port St. Lucie already has well-established 55+ options in Tradition and Riverland from builders like GL Homes, Mattamy, Taylor Morrison and Del Webb. Catalina Palms competes on three points: a newer location in the growing Sundance area west of Tradition, the size of its clubhouse, and Akel's no-CDD positioning. On the other side of the ledger, it is a younger community with construction still under way nearby, while Riverland, Esplanade and Telaro have more resales and mature landscaping.
Before committing, compare the full monthly cost of ownership, including HOA, any master association fee and taxes, across two or three communities. We can put those numbers side by side for you.
