Wellen Park offers many of the perks of living along Florida’s Gulf Coast, but has some unique traits of its own too. Those drawn to this coastal region will find plenty of housing stock here – especially new housing – due to this community’s ongoing development. The area’s greater development plan calls for the construction of roughly 18,000 homes over the next 15 to 20 years. As such, Wellen Park’s downtown area has expanded to include an 80-acre manmade lake and a number of entertainment venues like the CoolToday Park, which the Atlanta Braves use for spring training. And more is expected to come, “In fact, phase one is still under construction. It’s going to be spectacular,” says Scott Johnston, Realtor with Michael Saunders & Company.

Variety of homes in planned subdivisions
Many homes in Wellen Park exist in planned and gated subdivisions, which means housing options here feature replicas of the same design. Common styles include single-family homes featuring red-tiled roofs and stucco siding paired with stone veneers. Others feature Spanish and Mediterranean influences situated on 6,000- to 8,000-square-foot lots complete well-manicured lawns and palm trees. A single-story house with at least three bedrooms in the Tuscan-inspired Gran Paradiso community can easily run for over $600,000. While a single-story, three-bedroom home in the Wellen Park Golf & Country Club — and one of the larger upcoming ones at approximately 2,800 square feet — can go for as high as $1 million. Wellen Park is also home to some properties at lower price points like modest single-story ranch-style homes in the Antigua at Wellen Park community; or a second-floor coach style home unit in the Gran Paradiso development can go for $400,000 to $500,000. The coach styles seen in the Gran Paradiso are two-story buildings comprised of at least several units that are each accessed from the ground floor. Then, some two-bedroom condos being planned for the Wellen Park Golf & Country Country Club will have price tags within the $200,000 to $300,000 range.

Catch Atlanta Braves spring training
The CoolToday Park on West Villages Parkway is arguably this community’s center piece. “That’s kind of the anchor of Wellen Park,” Johnston says. This roughly 7,400-capacity ballpark serves as the locale for the Atlanta Braves’ spring training and offers additional entertainment throughout the year like live music and a beer run that involves a mile run around the venue’s concourse. The park features the Superior Pools Tomahawk Tiki Bar & Grill, an open-air, covered restaurant.

Villani & Co. is a steak and seafood bar where patrons can start the night with some oysters or a charcuterie board paired with the white wine of their choice, before eventually working their way to a sauteed fresh-caught gulf snapper or a grilled New York Strip.
