Lotus Palm — Contemporary Living on Glades Road, Boca Raton

Lotus Palm is a gated community of roughly 525 contemporary single-family homes, built by GL Homes on the site of the former Boca Raton municipal golf course on Glades Road, just west of Florida's Turnpike. That puts it closer to central Boca, Town Center, and I-95 than most of West Boca's newer communities. Builder sales are complete, so homes now come to market as resales, often with pools, upgraded finishes, and mature landscaping already in place, which is exactly where careful representation earns its keep.

Buying a resale in Lotus Palm

A resale in a young community has its own checklist: which builder options and upgrades the home actually has, whether the pool and any additions were permitted and closed out, what the HOA covers and what the current dues and reserves look like, and how the home compares on a price-per-foot basis with the builder's new construction next door at Lotus Edge. I run that comparison for you, negotiate on your side, and keep the transaction on schedule through inspection, appraisal, and association approval. Selling in Lotus Palm? The same knowledge sets the price and the marketing.
