What Nobody Tells You

  • Active construction means construction traffic. Chateau Elan is still adding phases in 2026. The Chateau Elan area itself has significant development happening simultaneously.
  • Golf at the resort is not included in HOA. Chateau Elan Resort golf is separate pay-to-play. Budget accordingly if you plan to play regularly.
  • The address carries a price premium. Homes here are priced higher than comparable Del Webb construction elsewhere in the market. You are partly paying for the Chateau Elan brand adjacency.
