IslandWalk at Wellen Park is a gated community in the West Villages district of Wellen Park, known for its lakes, preserves, bridges, and extensive resort-style amenities. Originally developed by DiVosta Homes, IslandWalk offers a mix of single-family homes and villas in a neighborhood designed around water views, outdoor recreation, and an active social lifestyle.
Although IslandWalk has a Venice mailing address and is commonly included in searches for Venice real estate, the community is located within the City of North Port in south Sarasota County. Its location places residents close to Downtown Wellen, CoolToday Park, shopping, dining, Gulf beaches, and the many attractions found throughout the greater Venice area.
Homes in IslandWalk at Wellen Park
IslandWalk was developed over multiple phases with a wide variety of predominantly single-story residences. Buyers will find attached villas, quad-style villas, and detached single-family homes ranging from efficient low-maintenance designs to larger estate-style floor plans with generous living areas and two- or three-car garages.
Many IslandWalk homes are positioned along lakes, canals, preserves, or landscaped open spaces, giving water and natural views an important role in the neighborhood’s design. Because homes were built over an extended period, resale properties can vary considerably in floor plan, interior finishes, outdoor living areas, private pools, and updates.
