Del Webb Carolina Overlook Debuts Clubhouse and New Villa Collection
Del Webb is redefining the active adult living experience in the greater Raleigh region with the grand opening of its highly anticipated Lakeview Manor clubhouse and the launch of a brand-new villa collection at Carolina Overlook, an expansive 55+ lakeside community located in Clayton, North Carolina. Throughout July, the community is hosting a series of celebratory events to mark these exciting milestones, inviting future homeowners to explore everything this thriving neighborhood has to offer.
A New Era Begins at Carolina Overlook
Del Webb’s Carolina Overlook is already known as one of the premier active adult communities in the Wake and Johnston County areas, and the unveiling of the Lakeview Manor clubhouse is a defining moment in its continued evolution. Officially opened to residents on June 16, 2025, this 20,000-square-foot facility is more than just a gathering space—it’s the social and recreational heartbeat of the community.
Positioned beautifully along the edge of a scenic lake, the clubhouse offers breathtaking views and first-rate amenities that support both fitness and connection. Residents now have access to indoor and outdoor swimming pools, multiple pickleball courts, a state-of-the-art fitness center, and a versatile fitness studio for group classes. The interiors are equally impressive, with cozy lounges, multipurpose meeting rooms, and flexible event spaces that cater to over 60 clubs and organized activities.
“We’re proud to open Lakeview Manor to our residents—it truly reflects our vision for Carolina Overlook as a place where active adults can engage, thrive, and form meaningful connections,” said Jeff Davis, Division President for Del Webb. “The response from the community has been overwhelmingly positive. This clubhouse sets a new standard for lifestyle-driven living in North Carolina.”
An Active Calendar and On-Site Lifestyle Team
One of the unique features of Carolina Overlook is its dedicated on-site Lifestyle Team, which curates a robust calendar of events designed to promote wellness, learning, and fun. Whether it’s morning yoga, bridge tournaments, art workshops, or themed social gatherings, there is something for every resident. The team also coordinates community outreach initiatives and off-site excursions, ensuring an engaging and purposeful experience for those who call Carolina Overlook home.
Beyond the clubhouse, the community includes a number of outdoor amenities that encourage residents to stay active and enjoy the natural beauty of the area. Meandering walking trails, a dog park, and a community garden offer spaces to unwind, exercise, or simply enjoy the lakeside setting.
Introducing the Villa Collection: New Options for Modern Living
In addition to the clubhouse grand opening, Del Webb has also introduced a new housing option that’s generating excitement—the Villa Collection, officially launched on June 21, 2025. This innovative series includes the thoughtfully designed Colton and Cranbrook floor plans, both of which are single-story layouts that emphasize comfort, convenience, and accessibility.
The villa homes feature open-concept designs, integrated smart home technology, and energy-efficient construction aligned with Energy Star standards. These homes are ideal for buyers seeking a low-maintenance lifestyle without compromising on style or functionality. Private patios, spacious kitchens, and two-car garages are among the many highlights.
To support the sales launch, Del Webb has opened two brand-new model homes for public tours, giving prospective homeowners a chance to explore the villas in person. Even more exciting are the upcoming Experience Homes, set to debut later in July. These “stay-and-play” residences allow interested buyers to live like a resident for a weekend, participating in community events, enjoying amenities, and experiencing the lifestyle firsthand.
“This collection speaks to the evolving preferences of today’s active adult,” added Davis. “Whether you’re downsizing from a larger home or simply looking for a fresh start, the villas at Carolina Overlook provide an elegant, practical, and connected living solution.”
A Grand Celebration with the Local Community
The buzz surrounding Carolina Overlook reached a peak during its grand opening celebration on Saturday, June 28, when over 300 guests RSVP’d to attend. The community came alive with music, food, tours, and a showcase of its new amenities. Residents and prospective homeowners mingled with staff, toured homes, and explored the newly opened Lakeview Manor.
Building on this momentum, Del Webb has partnered with the Clayton Chamber of Commerce to host a formal ribbon-cutting ceremony on July 17 at noon. Local officials, business leaders, and community partners are expected to join the celebration, highlighting the positive economic and social impact Carolina Overlook is bringing to the region.
A Growing Community with Thoughtful Design
Carolina Overlook is more than just a housing development—it’s a vision for vibrant, purposeful living. The master plan calls for a total of 1,500 homes at full buildout, and the community is well on its way, having recently expanded with the acquisition of a 700-home parcel across from the original 800-unit development.
Homes are built with sustainability and simplicity in mind. In addition to being Energy Star-certified, they come with low-maintenance exteriors, and residents benefit from a suite of services included in their Homeowners Association (HOA) fees. These include lawn care, cable TV, and high-speed internet, allowing residents to focus on what matters most—enjoying their lives.
With every detail, Del Webb has prioritized a lifestyle that fosters freedom, convenience, and community. The design of Carolina Overlook reflects years of insight into what today’s 55+ homebuyers truly want: high-quality homes, meaningful social opportunities, and access to nature and recreation.
