Canter — 42-lot gated estate community, under development 2024–2026 by DiVosta/PulteGroup. Size: 3,301–5,376 sq ft. Price range: $1.5M–$3M+. HOA: verify directly with DiVosta (754-253-0753 or 561-220-7900) — new construction, fees still being established. Schools: Panther Run Elementary (top-3% statewide, 5-star rated) / Polo Park Middle / Wellington High School.

Canter is a 42-lot gated estate community by DiVosta/PulteGroup on 22.5 acres in the 33449 zip code of Wellington, tucked behind St. Therese De Lisieux Catholic Church at the corner of Lake Worth Road and 120th Avenue South. At $1.5M–$3M+, it's one of the few communities in Wellington where buyers can get a brand-new, never-lived-in estate home with Wolf appliances in a gated setting at this price point. The key fact most buyers miss: independent buyer representation costs you nothing extra versus walking into the DiVosta sales office alone — and it gives you someone in your corner reviewing the contract before you sign it.

Canter at a Glance
DiVosta is a PulteGroup brand with a significant footprint in South Florida and a track record in Wellington-area luxury new construction. At Canter, they're delivering two architectural styles — farmhouse and coastal — across 42 estate lots on a 22.5-acre site. Home sizes run 3,301 to 5,376 sq ft. Wolf appliances are standard, which is a meaningful specification signal at this price point.
The site sits in the 33449 zip code, behind St. Therese De Lisieux Catholic Church at Lake Worth Road and 120th Avenue South. This location puts it in the Panther Run Elementary school zone — a 5-star rated school ranked in the top 3% of all Florida elementary schools, which is a legitimate selling point for families buying in this price range.
The Independent Representation Fact Every New Construction Buyer Needs to Know
When you buy directly from a builder's sales office, the sales agent in that office works for DiVosta/PulteGroup — not for you. They are legally required to represent the builder's interests.
Bringing an independent buyer's agent to represent you costs nothing additional. The builder pays the buyer's agent commission. You get someone reviewing the purchase agreement, the option selections, the construction contract, and the lot premium structure — none of which the builder's sales agent will do on your behalf.
On a $1.5M–$3M+ transaction with a builder contract that runs 30+ pages, having independent representation is not optional. Call me before you register at the sales office — once you've visited the site without registering a buyer's agent, your representation options change.
Who Canter Works For — and Where to Look Elsewhere
Works well for:
- Buyers who want brand-new construction at the luxury level ($1.5M–$3M+) in a gated Wellington community without the renovation and inspection risk of resale
- Buyers who want the Panther Run Elementary / Polo Park Middle / Wellington High School zone in a new construction home
- Buyers who want to customize finishes, options, and lot premiums during the build process
- Buyers who want Wolf appliances and estate-scale square footage (3,301–5,376 sq ft) in a farmhouse or coastal architectural style
Where to look elsewhere:
- Buyers who want immediate occupancy — new construction involves a build timeline; verify current delivery dates directly with DiVosta before making any timeline assumptions
- Buyers who want equestrian access — Canter is not in Wellington's equestrian corridor
- Buyers who need a price point under $1.5M — this is an estate-level community
- Buyers who want an established community with a known HOA history and reserve fund track record
Schools, Location, and Practical Life
Schools: Canter is zoned for Panther Run Elementary, Polo Park Middle School, and Wellington High School.

This is a legitimate school zone advantage for families in this price range. Always verify your specific lot address at palmbeachschools.org before going under contract.

HOA: As a community under active development, HOA fees at Canter are set by DiVosta/PulteGroup during the construction and sell-out period. The fee, what it covers, and how it transitions after the community sells out are all builder-controlled at this stage. Contact DiVosta directly at 754-253-0753 or 561-220-7900, and verify all HOA terms through the purchase agreement and HOA documents before signing anything.
Buying at Canter? Call Me First.
The most important thing you can do before visiting the DiVosta sales office is register your buyer's agent. Once you walk in without one, your options change. Independent representation costs you nothing extra on a builder purchase — I've been working new construction in Palm Beach County since 1996 and I know exactly what to look for in a DiVosta/PulteGroup contract before you sign it.
