Del Webb's First All-Ages Community in the U.S. Is in Palm Desert (Full Tour + Prices)

Del Webb Explore in Palm Desert is the first all-ages Del Webb community in the entire country — and it's working well enough that Pulte is already thinking about building more of them. I walked through the models with a buyer, so I came back to give you the full tour: every floor plan I could get into, real pricing, the HOA, the taxes, the solar, and all the things that are upgrades even though the model makes them look standard.

Before you walk into any new construction sales office — here or anywhere — register with an agent first. The sales rep works for the builder. You want someone in your corner. I can set up your appointment and walk the community with you, and it costs you nothing.

THE COMMUNITY
📍 North Palm Desert — minutes to the I-10, El Paseo, Costco, and right down the street from Disney's Cotino
🏘️ 332 single-story and two-story detached homes, about 100 already sold
🏡 11 floor plans across 3 series, with contemporary, traditional and mid-century modern elevations
💲 Base prices from the low $500s to about $847K
🏦 HOA currently about $257–$368/mo, projected around $331 at build-out
🧾 Tax rate about 1.7% including Mello-Roos — and you own the land
🏊 Clubhouse, community pool, pickleball courts, fitness center, clubs and activities, with a city park going in next door
☀️ Solar is required on California new construction — here it's a Sunrun power purchase agreement, roughly $150–$240/mo depending on the floor plan, and it comes with a Tesla Powerwall battery
