Published 6 months ago • 1 min read

I just put the finishing touches on my list of the best places to retire in Florida in 2026.

You'll see plenty of familiar places, but also a few you might not have expected.

Catalina Palms at Sundance is Akel Homes' newest 55+ Active Adult community in Port St. Lucie, FL that just opened in early 2026.

Located within the expansive 2,500-acre master-planned Sundance community, Catalina Palms is a thoughtfully designed retreat blending vibrant living with effortless leisure, creating the perfect setting to embrace life's next chapter.

At the core of Catalina Palms lies Club Catalina, a 56,000-square-foot resort-style clubhouse exclusive to residents, where the Catalina Palms lifestyle comes alive.
