Del Webb Chauncy Lake

Independent Assessment

Sources differ on Chauncy Lake's current sales status, with one describing it as already 'sold out of new construction' and resale-only. At least one secondary source describes the community as sold out, but Del Webb's own official site (delwebb.com) was still actively listing multiple current floor plans for Chauncy Lake -- including Ivywood, Claremont, Magnolia, and Jameson -- with specific starting prices (Ivywood from $588,995) as of the last update, which is inconsistent with a fully sold-out, resale-only status. Because a builder's own live floor-plan pages showing active pricing are a stronger, more current signal than a secondary source's general description, new-construction status is treated as unresolved rather than confirmed resale-only -- the community is likely in a late or final selling phase, but buyers should confirm current lot and inventory availability directly with the sales office before assuming only resale is available. Current HOA fees for any section of the community also could not be confirmed.

Who May Find This Community Appealing

Buyers who want a nationally-recognized Del Webb brand experience in Central Massachusetts, with a large enough community to support a full-scale clubhouse and activities calendar, will find Chauncy Lake appealing. Its low-maintenance, single-level condo format and location about two miles from downtown Westborough and close to the Mass Pike (I-90) suit buyers who want walkable-adjacent New England small-town amenities with convenient access to Worcester's hospital systems and a roughly 40-minute drive into Boston.

Homes, Builders & Development History

Del Webb (a PulteGroup brand) began building Chauncy Lake around 2018-2019 on land overlooking Chauncy Lake and roughly 400 acres of surrounding open space. The plan calls for approximately 700 single-level condominium homes distributed across roughly 14 buildings, offered across several floor plans over the life of the project, including the Ivywood (1,512 sq ft, 2BR/2BA, one-story, from $588,995 per Del Webb's own site as of the last update), plus the Claremont, Magnolia, and Jameson plans. 'Ivywood at Chauncy Lake' is Del Webb's current marketing name for this floor plan/phase within the same Chauncy Lake community -- not a separate development.

Current Pricing & Market Positioning

Chauncy Lake started at roughly $415,000+ when new construction began. As of the last update, Del Webb's own site listed the Ivywood plan starting from $588,995, reflecting substantial appreciation and/or a shift to the community's later, larger floor plans since initial launch. Resale listings reviewed ranged broadly from the high-$300Ks to over $700K depending on the specific unit, building, and floor plan. Buyers should request current pricing directly from Del Webb's sales office (for any remaining new-construction inventory) and from a local agent for resale comparables.

New Construction vs. Resale Considerations

Whether Chauncy Lake currently has active new-construction inventory could not be resolved. At least one secondary source described the community as sold out, while Del Webb's own site was still listing several current floor plans (Ivywood, Claremont, Magnolia, Jameson) with active starting prices as of the last update -- a signal inconsistent with a fully sold-out community. It is plausible the community is in a final selling phase with limited remaining new-construction inventory alongside a growing resale market. Buyers should confirm current availability directly with the Del Webb sales office (reported phone: 508-252-8852) rather than assuming either new construction or resale-only status.

Taxes, Insurance & Special Assessments

Homes at Chauncy Lake are subject to the Town of Westborough's property tax administration; Westborough's FY2026 residential rate was reported at $16.60 per $1,000 of assessed value by an independent Boston-area research source, which is on the higher end for the immediate area and should be confirmed with the Westborough Assessor's Office for the current rate. The condominium association's master insurance coverage and any special-assessment history for any specific building were not independently confirmed; buyers should request the relevant building association's current financials before purchasing.

Community Layout & Lifestyle

Chauncy Lake's roughly 700 single-level condo homes are distributed across roughly 14 low-rise buildings arranged around the lake and its surrounding open space, with the 14,000-square-foot Lakeside Clubhouse serving as the social hub for fitness, ballroom events, and club activities. The single-level, low-maintenance condo format is the defining lifestyle feature -- exterior maintenance and landscaping are handled by the association -- and residents are roughly two miles from downtown Westborough's shops and restaurants.

Shopping, Healthcare & Airport Access

Del Webb Chauncy Lake is located in Westborough, Massachusetts (ZIP 01581), roughly two miles from downtown Westborough, with condo buildings addressed along streets including Codman Way within the community. Westborough sits directly off the Massachusetts Turnpike (I-90), giving residents convenient access to Worcester's hospital systems to the west and roughly a 40-minute drive into Boston to the east. A single definitive community street address could not be independently verified; buyers should confirm exact directions and the current sales-office address with Del Webb directly.

Age Qualification & Material Ownership Restrictions

Del Webb's own official site markets Chauncy Lake as one of its national '55+ Active Adult Communities,' which is treated as a strong, primary-source signal consistent with the recorded HOPA-compliant age-restriction declarations standard across Del Webb's national portfolio. Chauncy Lake's specific recorded condominium declaration or master deed was not independently reviewed. Massachusetts' own state-law framework for 55+ exemptions (M.G.L. c. 151B, Section 4, paragraph 7) additionally allows a registration-based exemption requiring biennial registration with the state housing agency and at least one resident 55+ per household; Chauncy Lake's specific registration status under that state mechanism versus reliance on the federal HOPA framework was not independently confirmed. Buyers should request the current recorded declaration and verify the association's age-verification procedure directly.

Tradeoffs & Limitations

Whether new-construction inventory still remains at Chauncy Lake or the community has fully transitioned to resale could not be resolved because sources conflict; buyers should confirm current status directly with the Del Webb sales office. Current HOA fees were not publicly confirmed. As a large, roughly 700-home condominium community built out over several years, buyers should also expect meaningful price and condition variation across the approximately 14 buildings and multiple building phases, and should request the specific building's condo-association budget and reserve study before purchasing.

Comparison With Nearby Communities

Within Worcester County's tracked 55+ cluster, Chauncy Lake is by far the largest community at roughly 700 homes, dwarfing Northborough's 41-home Bigelow Farm, Upton's 58-home Rockwood Meadows, and Holden's two communities (91-unit Seasons at Salisbury and 125-home Village at Westminster Place). Unlike those smaller, single-builder townhome/single-family communities, Chauncy Lake offers the scale to support a large resort-style clubhouse and a nationally recognized Del Webb brand, at the tradeoff of being a condominium (rather than single-family or townhome) format.

A connected local agent, or Del Webb's sales office directly, can provide current available new-construction and resale listings at Chauncy Lake.
