PulteGroup Introduces Del Webb Explore – The Next Generation of Resort Living
Extension of the iconic Del Webb brand targets buyers who desire a resort lifestyle
Del Webb Explore addresses the demand from Gen X buyers seeking resort-style living. This new offering captures the essence of Del Webb’s signature resort experience, which features amenities such as state-of-the-art clubhouses, high-end fitness centers, zero-entry lagoon-shaped pools, pickleball courts, walking trails and more, without the limitation of being 55 or older. The first Del Webb Explore communities are planned for
“Del Webb is the recognized industry leader in developing lifestyle communities that cater to the over 55 homebuyers,” said PulteGroup’s President and CEO Ryan Marshall. “We’re seeing a convergence of Gen X reaching their peak earning years, with sophisticated tastes shaped by decades of travel and lifestyle experiences. The extension of the ageless Del Webb brand means we can now offer a product to those who crave a vibrant, active lifestyle, regardless of age.”
In its extensive market research, PulteGroup identified an important difference between Del Webb’s traditional Boomer buyers compared with today’s Gen X consumers. A generation comprising 63 million people, who are 45-60 in 2025, Gen X is a diverse demographic with many seeking luxury, resort-style communities that address their wants and needs. PulteGroup’s research showed that 40 percent of potential Del Webb buyers desired the brand’s renowned active lifestyle, but without the limitation of having to be 55 or older. These buyers cited multiple reasons, such as having older children living with them, needing to help care for grandchildren, being younger than a traditional active adult buyer, and simply wanting to live around people of varying ages.
“The launch of Del Webb Explore represents PulteGroup’s commitment to innovation and deep understanding of our consumers’ evolving needs,” said Manish Shrivastava, Chief Marketing Officer at PulteGroup. “As pioneers in resort-style living, we’ve invested significant resources in understanding what the next generation of Del Webb buyers want and what they might be missing. By combining the best elements of our Del Webb and DiVosta brands with fresh consumer insights from today’s homebuyer, we've created a distinctive offering that brings resort-style living to Gen X buyers and beyond who seek luxury without limitations.”
Del Webb Explore communities are designed for an important demographic and buyer who is ready to embrace resort-style living on their terms. These communities draw buyers who appreciate luxury amenities, from state-of-the-art fitness centers to thoughtfully designed gathering spaces to foster natural connections with neighbors and accommodate vibrant social calendars filled with wine tastings, pickleball tournaments, and more.
Del Webb Explore homes include open-concept floor plans optimized for entertaining and everyday living, luxurious finishes, and flexible spaces to accommodate a dynamic lifestyle that includes friends and family of all ages. The homes also include desired features like zero-entry showers, widened hallways, and carefully planned storage. Designs have been fine-tuned based on homeowner feedback, resulting in floorplans that are Life Tested.
