OakBend at Wellen Park is a gated, low-density luxury enclave in Venice, Florida, developed by Toll Brothers and ICI Homes. Planned for roughly 180 single-family homes, it is designed for buyers who want an upscale retreat with privacy, nature, and quiet streets, while still enjoying full access to the broader Wellen Park lifestyle.
Community Overview
Construction began in the 2024–2025 timeframe, with early move-ins anticipated around 2025–2026. That timing gives buyers the benefit of modern building codes, current wind and energy standards, and brand-new roofs, windows, and mechanical systems. For many people making a retirement or semi-retirement move, that level of peace of mind is as important as the floor plan itself.
Homes, Floor Plans, and Pricing
OakBend is an exclusively single-family community. Typical homes range from roughly 2,100 to 3,300 or more square feet. Two- and three-car garages, well-appointed owner’s suites, and covered lanais are common. Entry-level opportunities typically begin around the mid-$500,000s to mid-$600,000s. Once buyers select a preferred lot and invest in outdoor living enhancements, many final purchase prices land in the $700,000 to $900,000 range. Properties with the strongest lake or preserve views can run from approximately $900,000 into the $1.1M+ range.
HOA and CDD Fees
Monthly HOA dues are estimated at approximately $275 to $550, with the specific amount tied to the home type and service package. CDD assessments are expected to fall in the range of roughly $1,800 to $2,500 per year, paid through your property tax bill. HOA dues commonly cover the gated entry, resort-style pool, clubhouse, fitness center, maintenance of amenities, and upkeep of shared green spaces.
Amenities and Lifestyle
Inside the gates, OakBend is planned with a resort-style amenity center including a pool, clubhouse with social spaces, fitness center, pickleball and bocce courts, dog park, playground, and walking paths with a viewing dock. As part of Wellen Park, residents also enjoy Downtown Wellen’s lakefront dining and events, CoolToday Park, and more than 20 miles of trails.

Downtown Venice is roughly 10 to 15 minutes away. Venice Beach and Caspersen Beach are typically 15 to 20 minutes. Manasota Key is usually 20 to 25 minutes. Sarasota is generally 30 to 40 minutes.
