Del Webb at Rancho Mirage

By Marne Logan, CCAM

In 2018, a new 322-acre, active-adult, gated community with over a thousand homes in Rancho Mirage opened its doors to Valley residents and home seekers looking for the desert lifestyle. Del Webb at Rancho Mirage is located at 100 Del Webb Way in Rancho Mirage. The magnificent entrance is off Dinah Shore Drive between Los Alamos Road and Bob Hope Drive. The development is next to the Agua Caliente Resort Casino Spa Rancho Mirage and minutes from the 10 Freeway. About two thirds of the Del Webb property is being developed now with large sections along Ramon Road and Bob Hope Drive preserved for future commercial development.

We are all familiar with the Del Webb name, especially with two Sun City communities already located in the Coachella Valley. Del Webb Rancho Mirage is focused on health, wellness, and personal enrichment. The clubhouse will feature 20,000 square feet of beautifully designed activity space, all under one roof, exclusively for the use of its 55+ residents. Featured spaces will include an elegant courtyard, pickleball courts, tennis courts, bocce ball courts, covered and outdoor pools, a putting green, an event lawn, golf simulator, fitness facility, conference room, aerobic room, locker rooms and more.

The community is clearly designed to maximize the views of the surrounding mountains and lovely landscaping. In typical Del Webb style, your first reaction to the sweeping vistas is pure joy. Beautifully manicured streets, thoughtfully designed placement of homes and open areas, roomy parking for the outstanding clubhouse, and a stunning lake exemplify the perfect active adult community.

Accomplished General Manager, Sue Sweeney, CMCA, AMS, LSM, PCAM, was selected by Seabreeze Management Company to shepherd the new Del Webb Rancho Mirage HOA. Sue says, “I am privileged to be the GM of such a lovely property that is growing so quickly. The residents are wonderful and so grateful for the lifestyle provided by this amazing community.”

Since opening, Del Webb Rancho Mirage has become a very sought-after community. More than 300 homes have already closed escrow! When all the homes are completed, there will be a total of 1,029. These beautiful homes, all with solar capabilities, are priced from the low $400,000s to the

$800,000s. There are ten single-family home designs to choose from, including two to three bedrooms ranging in size from 1,438 square feet to 2,726 square feet. I encourage you to go there to see the beautiful models. You will be impressed.

Assessments are currently $337 per month and include access to all the amenities. The 20,000 square foot clubhouse will open in November and will have a ballroom with seating for more than 200 guests. In addition to tennis, swimming, billiards, and aerobics, there are six miles of meandering walking trails in the neighborhoods surrounding this community! Del Webb offers so many great amenities—keeping up with them is a fulltime job.

With its central location Del Webb Rancho Mirage is close to shopping, dining, hiking and biking trails, and farmers markets (in season) in Palm Springs, Palm Desert and La Quinta. There is something here that will appeal to everyone.

Unique to Del Webb is the “lifestyle” they offer homebuyers. As a new homeowner, you receive the assistance of the “Lifestyle Director” the first day at new resident orientation, and they’ll happily help you to find activities, clubs, and outings to perfectly compliment your lifestyle. The Lifestyle Director plans all the events and activities happening in and outside the community, from day trips and travel opportunities to dances and community socials.

The board of directors currently has five members who rely on the support of Sue’s management expertise. The Design Review Committee is the only chartered committee at this time. CAI business partners working with Del Webb Rancho Mirage include Hort Tech Landscape, Tinnelly Law Group, and Allied Universal.

Sue commented, “The Del Webb Rancho Mirage HOA is fortunate to have a great management company, Seabreeze, supporting them. It is a true pleasure to work with our developer Del Webb and homebuilder, Pulte Homes, who are both committed to providing a first-class lifestyle and experience for our homeowners.”
