Construction has begun on two large, upscale housing developments in central Ohio aimed at older adults and empty nesters. The new Del Webb senior housing resorts will bring resort-style living to the Midwest, allowing buyers to stay close to family and the communities they love.

Why it matters

For years, many Midwest homebuyers have had to relocate to warmer climates to experience true resort-style living in their retirement. These new Del Webb communities will provide that same level of amenities and lifestyle without forcing residents to leave the Columbus area.

The details

The two new Del Webb communities are being built in southern and northern suburbs of Columbus. They will feature high-end amenities like pools, fitness centers, walking trails, and clubhouses typically found in resort destinations. The developments are targeting older adults and empty nesters looking to downsize but remain close to family and friends in the region.

  • Construction on the two communities began in late 2025.
  • The new Del Webb resorts are slated to open in spring 2026.
