Stone Creek by Del Webb

Stone Creek is a Del Webb signature 55+ community in southwest Ocala, developed by PulteGroup under the Del Webb brand beginning around 2007. Del Webb, a subsidiary of PulteGroup, is the dominant brand in age-restricted active adult communities nationally, with dozens of communities across the Sun Belt. Stone Creek represents the brand's Florida interior strategy — delivering resort-caliber amenities and new construction quality in a market where land costs and local taxes are significantly lower than coastal alternatives.

The community was planned from the outset around a central amenity campus anchored by a resort clubhouse, and the site plan was organized around a resident golf course, giving the community the physical layout of a golf resort rather than a conventional subdivision. Construction proceeded through the late 2000s and 2010s in sequential phases, adding neighborhoods as earlier phases sold out. Pulte's national purchasing scale allowed the company to deliver amenity levels and construction standards that independent developers in the Ocala market could not match at comparable price points.

Stone Creek opened during the national housing crisis, which slowed early sales, but the community found steady footing by the early 2010s and has continued expanding. The combination of the Del Webb brand reputation, the golf resort layout, and Ocala's positioning as an affordable retirement market has sustained strong sales velocity through multiple market cycles.
