Grand Palm is a nature-focused, resort-style neighborhood by Neal Communities that truly lives up to its name. Spanning several hundred acres as Wellen Park’s northernmost village, Grand Palm offers a one-of-a-kind lifestyle where everyday living feels like a vacation. Lush preserves, lakes, and even a private island park give the community a tranquil, outdoor-centric character. Residents enjoy an on-site activities director and a multitude of amenities – from a state-of-the-art fitness center to a splash park and a spectacular pool with water slides – all right in their own backyard. Architectural renderings and model home tours showcase the community’s blend of timeless Florida architecture and modern design elements, highlighting open layouts and generous outdoor living spaces. In Grand Palm, families and retirees alike can savor resort-level recreation alongside the peace of nature.

Grand Palm features both single-family homes and paired villas, with designs ranging from comfortable 2-bedroom villas to expansive 4-bedroom estate homes. Many plans include 3-car garages and flex spaces (dens or bonus rooms). Square footages span roughly 1,500 to 3,000+ sq. ft., ensuring options for first-time buyers, growing families, and luxury seekers. Homes showcase open-concept great rooms, gourmet kitchens, and large lanais to enjoy the Florida sunshine.

Community plans and renderings illustrate Grand Palm’s scenic layout – winding streets, pocket parks, and the unique “Adventure Island” accessible by footbridge. Aerial renderings of the amenity center depict the resort pool complex with its twisting water slide and clubhouse set amid preserve views.
