And now, a new community is coming to town that’s generating buzz among savvy home shoppers: Catalina Palms at Sundance.
This lifestyle-focused neighborhood by Akel Homes, is the latest offering by the boutique Florida homebuilder known for elevated design, high-quality construction, and exceptional personalization.
Located within the master-planned Sundance community, Catalina Palms is poised to bring a fresh, modern take to active adult living—where luxury, comfort, social connection and wellness all come together.
A Boutique 55+ Community Built Around You

At Catalina Palms, Akel Homes is designing a collection of twenty-nine thoughtfully crafted home designs, including attached villas and single-family homes ranging from approximately 1,300 to 3,400 square feet.
Every home is created the way today’s 55+ residents want to live—open spaces, natural light, indoor-outdoor flow, designer finishes, and modern architectural styles.
Since Akel Homes includes several high-end features, residents enjoy elevated style without the need for extensive upgrades.
