Wellen Park is a master-planned community that is home to several different neighborhoods, shops, restaurants, and lots of amenities for residents (and non-residents) to enjoy.
The Venice area on Florida's west coast has seen a lot of demand and growth in recent years and that's thanks in large part to the development of Wellen Park.
Wellen Park spans approximately 11,000 acres and it is estimated that there will be about 22,000 homes at time of completion which is many years away.
Where is it?
Located in Southwest Florida, Wellen Park is just minutes from some of Florida's best beaches, and several other popular cities are also within easy reach.
Sarasota Bradenton International is about 30 minutes away, Punta Gorda Airport is about 35 minutes away, and Tampa International and Southwest Florida International are both about an hour away.
Why is it so popular?
To me, Wellen Park is a smaller version of Lakewood Ranch, which is the 2nd best-selling community in the nation.
One of the more popular places is Downtown Wellen. This vibrant premier shopping, dining, and entertainment destination is a pedestrian-friendly downtown and emphasizes connections to nature and community and celebrates a waterfront vibe.
But in my opinion one of the coolest things about Wellen Park is having CoolToday Park, the Spring Training home of MLB's Atlanta Braves, right in their own backyard.
