Find Your Home in Gatherpoint
Gatherpoint is a thoughtfully managed HOA community of roughly 947 homes in Ave Maria, Florida -- not a builder marketing site. Here you'll find honest information about our home collections, community standards, and HOA fees to help you decide if Gatherpoint is the right place for you.
Four Home Collections to Fit Every Lifestyle
Gatherpoint is built by Pulte Homes and offers four distinct home collections -- each designed for a different lifestyle and household size. Use this guide to find the collection that fits your needs.
Attached Townhome
Townhome Collection
The Townhome Collection offers low-maintenance living in an attached two-story format. Ideal for buyers seeking an efficient footprint, these homes typically feature open-concept main floors, private garages, and covered entries -- a smart fit for individuals, couples, or those looking to simplify.
Attached Villa
Vista Collection
The Vista Collection features single-story attached villas designed for comfortable, accessible living. These homes are popular with buyers who want a ground-floor primary suite, minimal exterior upkeep, and the warmth of a close-knit neighborhood streetscape.
Single-Family Home
Distinctive Collection
The Distinctive Collection offers single-family homes with more square footage and design flexibility than the attached collections. Buyers drawn to this collection typically value a private lot, room to grow, and the classic neighborhood feel of a detached home with a defined backyard.
Single-Family Home
Echelon Collection
The Echelon Collection represents Gatherpoint's most spacious and generously appointed single-family homes. With larger floor plans, elevated architectural details, and premium standard features, this collection appeals to buyers who want space, style, and room to entertain.
A Well-Run Community Protects Your Investment
The Gatherpoint HOA enforces a set of community-wide standards -- from architectural guidelines to lawn care requirements -- that preserve the look and feel of the neighborhood and protect property values for every homeowner.
Our board-approved rules cover exterior modifications, landscaping standards, parking, and common area use. Modification requests go through a defined Architectural Review Committee (ARC) process so changes are reviewed fairly and consistently.
For buyers, a well-governed HOA means you can trust that the home next door will be maintained to the same standard as yours -- and that the community will continue to look its best for years to come.
What does the HOA fee cover?
Every Gatherpoint homeowner pays a monthly HOA fee that funds the services and amenities that keep our community looking great and running smoothly. Here's a plain-language breakdown of what's included.

- Landscaping and upkeep of all common areas, entryways, and community grounds
- Professional HOA management services
- Reserve fund contributions for long-term capital repairs and replacements
- Gate and access system maintenance

What is the architectural approval process?
Any exterior modification -- including landscaping changes, fence or screen enclosure installation, paint color changes, and additions -- must be submitted to and approved by the Architectural Review Committee (ARC) before work begins.
