Luxury communities in Boca Raton and Delray Beach

Seven guard gated communities, roughly 4,300 homes between them, almost all of it built by GL Homes since 2013. Here is how they actually differ.

Start with the community, not the listing

Six of these seven were built by the same developer, GL Homes, which means the construction quality, the warranty and the floor plan logic are broadly comparable. What is not comparable is the amenity package, the age of the roofs, and what you pay every month to keep it all running.

Buyers who tour on price alone tend to end up choosing between two homes in two communities that suit them very differently. The table below is the shortest honest summary of the differences. Each community then has its own page with current listings, HOA costs and the questions I get asked most.

Home counts and size ranges are compiled from GL Homes and Kenco Communities published material and public county records. Availability reflects whether the builder is still selling, not current inventory.

Lot size and lake frontage are the two things a floor plan cannot show you, and they are usually what decides between two otherwise similar homes.

Questions I get asked most

Which of these communities still sells new construction?

Lotus Edge and Lotus Palm. Lotus Edge is the newest and is still delivering through the mid 2020s, which makes it the last realistic opportunity to buy new from GL Homes inside Boca Raton. Boca Bridges, Lotus, Seven Bridges, The Bridges and The Oaks are resale only.

Are any of these 55+ communities?

No. All seven are all ages with no age restriction. If you want an age restricted community, the 55+ communities and Valencia communities are the pages to read instead.

What is the difference between Lotus, Lotus Palm and Lotus Edge?

They are three separate communities on adjacent land in west Boca Raton, each with its own gate, clubhouse and HOA. Lotus came first and has the water park. Lotus Palm has a clubhouse of roughly 26,500 square feet. Lotus Edge is the newest and the smallest homes start under 2,000 square feet.

Do I need my own agent to buy new construction here?

Yes, and it costs you nothing. The builder sales representative works for the builder. I explain how that works on the GL Homes buyer representation page.

Which community holds value best?

That question has no honest single answer, because it depends on what the market does to new construction supply. What I can tell you is what each community has actually resold for in the last twelve months. Ask me and I will send the closed sales.

  • Zillow 4 Star Review Harvey is very experienced and professional in his trade. He knows the market and the business and he will negotiate in your best interest. If you are looking in and around the Boca area, he is your realtor.

    Zillow 5 Star Review My wife & I have moved 7 times in the last 27 years due to transfers in my job. Obviously, we've dealt with many realtors both on the buying and selling side. I have to say that Harvey is by far the BEST realtor we have ever worked with. His extensive experience, pleasant personality, professionalism and deep knowledge of his trade were instrumental in closing our deal at a time when we most needed it! If you are buying or selling a home in Boca Raton, Delray Beach, Boynton Beach or surrounding area, do yourselves a favor and hire Harvey Dubov!!

    Zillow 5 Star Review Valentines Day is almost here. Hearts and flowers cannot convey the gratitude we feel to realtor extraordinaire, Harvey Dubov of Keller Williams.
    Harvey simultaneously orchestrated the sale of our former home and the purchase of our dream house. There is no better advocate than Harvey Dubov to get you to the right place at the right price! Harvey is the South Florida Dynamo!

  • Zillow 5 Star Review Harvey is a very experienced real estate professional and we highly recommend him if you need to sell your home. Harvey was very responsive to concerns and was in constant communication with us. He also helped us find vendors to correct some issues. Although we priced our property at a high number based on the current market, and we had to change the price based on the changing market, Harvey achieved getting us our asking price. He was great to work with, especially in a buyers market.

    Zillow 5 Star Review Harvey expertly knows how to sell homes in the Valencias and other gated communities in Palm Beach County. He has the right touch with potential buyers and knows how to make the deal happen. He sold our home within about a month of listing. Every potential buyer was real. Harvey advised how we should prep the home for showings and it worked. He is clearly the most professional and talented broker working with the Valencia communities.

  • Zillow 5 Star Review Harvey is amazing. Although he is the realtor, he listened to what I expected from my home. To others it may have been just a house, but it was my home for 36 years. He understood, and treated it as if it was his own! Harvey went above and beyond to sell my house quickly, and still got my asking price. He kept me in the loop every step of the way! There is no better than Harvey Dubov.
