Welcome to Eastport, the latest gem in The Villages^©, Central Florida’s iconic 55+ community where the good times don’t retire, they just get better. Tucked into the heart of this sprawling, vibrant hometown is a new neighborhood that’s making waves—quite literally—thanks to its recreational lake, sprawling trails and fresh twist on the active adult lifestyle.

A Fresh Chapter, Lakeside

Eastport isn’t just another neighborhood; it’s a destination for those who are ready to write the next (and best) chapter of their lives. With Central Lake at its center—a brand-new, 1,000-meter recreational lake—Eastport is setting the stage for water-loving residents to kayak, paddle or simply soak in the views. It’s the kind of place where wellness and fun intersect with just the right amount of lakeside leisure.

Where Play Meets Purpose

One of Eastport’s most charming new features is its waterfront playground—a spot perfect for reconnecting with family. It’s a place where laughter bounces off the lake and every visit with the grandkids turns into a memory-making adventure. And when playtime winds down, you’re steps away from dinner with a view, because Eastport’s design thoughtfully blends recreation with community.

Wellness, Walkability and Wow

Eastport is also about keeping residents young at heart and on their feet. It’s no accident that this “lifestyle center” was built with active living in mind. Start your morning on the Black Lake Park Walking Trail under a canopy of shade trees, explore wildlife along the Fenney Springs Nature Trail or glide through miles of preserve pathways that were practically made for birdwatching and biking.

And for the days you want to take your workout indoors? Eastport is introducing The Villages’ first-ever 20-foot-high ceiling indoor gym—a regional-size Recreation Complex built to impress.

Small-Town Feel, Big-Time Fun

Like all neighborhoods in The Villages, Eastport is designed to feel like a small town within a town. Picture it: a walkable town square, a cozy collection of shops, your favorite lunch spot, evening entertainment and your very own golf cart path to get there. It’s everything Villagers love—entertainment, dining, wellness and connection—bundled into one charming corner of Central Florida.

Homes for Every Dreamer

Whether you’re downsizing, upsizing or simply rightsizing, Eastport has a home for your lifestyle. From low-maintenance villas to custom lakefront estates, the choices are as varied as your new calendar of activities.

The Villages Vibe, Reinvented

If you’ve ever dreamed of starting fresh without slowing down, Eastport may be your perfect match. It’s more than just a neighborhood—it’s a place where mornings begin with lake views, afternoons are filled with laughter and every day offers a new adventure, right outside your front door.

So go ahead—bring your kayak, lace up your sneakers and say hello to the good life. Eastport is waiting.
