Arden isn’t your normal new home community. Located in Wellington, Florida, residents here enjoy fresh produce from the 5-acre working farm, resort-style amenities that make every day feel like a vacation, and a location that offers easy access to A-rated schools, employment hubs and more. But one of the most unique things about Arden is the year-round lifestyle programming, made possible by our Lifestyle Director.

Arden is thrilled to introduce Donald Smith, our new Lifestyle Director. Donald brings extensive recreational experience to Arden, having previously worked for both nonprofits and other new home communities in the past. In fact, he most recently served as the Lifestyle Director for Orchard Ridge – another Freehold community located in Texas – so he has plenty of first-hand experience planning events and activities that residents love.

Donald is elated to lead Arden’s programming and help create a fun and inviting environment for residents to get to know one another while enjoying everything Arden has to offer. “I want everyone here to feel like they are on vacation, where there’s always something fun to do right on your doorstep,” he said.

And that’s exactly what Donald is doing at Arden. Many of the programs take advantage of Arden’s amenities and Florida’s natural charm. Running groups on the 20 miles of trails, poker tournaments at the Clubhouse, parties at the resort-style pool, and community picnics at any of Arden’s 500 acres of parks and greenspace are just a few possibilities.

Even better, programming will be tailored based on residents’ input and interests. From wine and cheese nights and yoga classes, to kids’ crafts and farm-to-table dinners, there’s always something exciting to look forward to at Arden.

Thanks to Donald, Arden is a community with a lifestyle like no other. To learn more about the new homes, lifestyle and offerings at Arden, schedule a tour to meet Donald and see it all firsthand, and make sure to join our Interest List to receive the latest news and updates.
