Amara vs. Whitmore Estates: What to Know Before Buying on 441 South of Hypoluxo
Two luxury new construction communities, within a half-mile of each other on 441 south of Hypoluxo Road, both targeting buyers above $1.5M, both gated. They are not the same product. Here’s what separates them.
Amara by DiVosta (former polo farm, lots from ¼ acre to 3 acres, no zero-lot-line, casita options, full design studio customization, larger clubhouse with pickleball and fitness center) vs. Whitmore Estates by Lennar (standard master-planned lot sizes, turnkey standardized upgrades, clubhouse/pool/putting green/fire pit). Both are gated, both are above $1.5M at publication, both access Wellington/Turnpike/polo. The decision comes down to lot size, customization preference, and amenity priorities. Verify current pricing and availability directly with each builder. Call Brian Wilder at 561-201-4717 to walk both communities before deciding.
Two luxury new construction communities now sit within a half-mile of each other on 441 south of Hypoluxo Road — Whitmore Estates by Lennar and Amara by DiVosta. Both target buyers above $1.5M. Both offer gated living. They are not the same product — and the differences matter more than the similarities.

The Decisive Differences
Lot size and privacy: This is the most significant structural difference. Amara was built on a former polo farm with lots ranging from a quarter-acre to three acres and no zero-lot-line homes. Whitmore Estates follows a more traditional master-planned layout with standard lot sizing. For buyers who prioritize meaningful space between homes and genuine privacy, Amara’s former polo farm site delivers something Whitmore Estates structurally cannot.
Customization vs. turnkey: Lennar’s “Everything’s Included” model means standard upgrades come built-in without negotiation — a streamlined purchase process with predictable finishes. DiVosta’s design studio approach allows extensive structural and finish customization, including casita layouts on larger lots. Which model fits you depends on whether you want to make decisions or have them made for you.
Amenity scope: Amara delivers a larger clubhouse, resort pool with cabanas, pickleball, and a full fitness center. Whitmore Estates offers a clubhouse, pool, putting green, and outdoor gathering spaces. For buyers where active on-site amenities are a primary driver, Amara has more depth. For buyers who primarily want a pool and common areas without extensive programming, Whitmore Estates delivers.
What Both Communities Share
The similarities are genuine and worth acknowledging:
- Location: Both sit on 441 south of Hypoluxo Road — within a half-mile of each other
- Gated access: Both are gated luxury communities
- Price point: Both target buyers above $1.5M at publication
- Area access: Both offer access to Wellington, the Florida Turnpike, polo facilities, and top private school options
For buyers comparing the two communities, location and price point are not the deciding factors — they’re equal. The decision comes down to lot size, customization preference, and amenity priorities.
