Welcome to Sweetwater—Jacksonville, Florida

Live life on a first-name basis.

• 15 miles from Downtown Jacksonville

• Low-maintenance carriage homes

• 4 floorplans to choose from

• 1,438-1,857 square feet

If you prefer knowing your neighbors by name and not just the make of their car, you'll find life at Sweetwater to be sweet indeed. The friendly residents here (now close to 1,000) are big fans of barbecues, block parties, and community events where people are on a first-name basis.

That's not to say you have to be involved in everything. At this Del Webb community for active adults age 55 and better, you can be as active as you want. Tone your body at the fitness center and your mind in the business center. Get your kicks swimming laps, or relax in the pool or indoor hot tub at Summerland Hall. In the billiards room you’ll find pool, chess, board games, and darts. Spend time in the library relaxing or reading.

And to get the most out of your community, rely on our Lifestyle Director, a friendly resource who can link you with activities, classes and trips. (You might even start your own club or class.) Your calendar can be as busy as you like—it's up to you.
