Brian Wilder here. If you're researching 55+ communities in Delray Beach, you've probably noticed the pricing tilts high — many newer active-adult communities start around $700,000+, and some luxury options run well above $1 million. Delray Trails by Lennar takes a different position: a real new-construction 55+ community in Delray Beach with Villas from about $437,990, plus a single-family Woods Collection at a higher tier, all with a substantive amenity package. Let me walk you through what buyers should know before deciding if it's the right fit.

Where Delray Trails Is Located

Delray Trails is in Delray Beach, FL — one of Palm Beach County's most in-demand cities — at 5832 Shining Sea Ct, Delray Beach, FL 33484, on the west side of the city near the Turnpike. From here you have easy access to:

  • Atlantic Avenue dining and entertainment ("The Ave")
  • Delray Municipal Beach
  • Morikami Museum and Japanese Gardens
  • Wakodahatchee Wetlands Nature Preserve

That mix — beach, walkable downtown, and an active social scene — is most of why buyers shortlist Delray Beach in the first place.

Two Home Collections

The Villas

Duplex · from ~$437,990

  • HOA ~$371/month (verify)
  • Pricing into the low $500s depending on plan/inventory

  • Same Delray Trails amenities

Pricing, plans, and inventory change over time; verify current figures with Lennar.

The Amenities (This Is Where It Gets Interesting)

For a community at this entry price, the amenity package is unusually deep. Anchored by a ~28,115-square-foot Grand Clubhouse, Delray Trails includes:

  • Resort-style pool with beach entry, an adjacent lap pool, kiddy pool, and spa
  • Poolside terrace and outdoor bar
  • State-of-the-art fitness center and yoga studio
  • Arts & crafts center, multipurpose room with stage, card/game rooms, library
  • Event lawn for outdoor movies, fitness classes, and gatherings
  • 13 full-size tennis courts
  • 4 pickleball courts
  • 2 bocce courts
  • 10 shuffleboard courts
  • Walking and biking trails throughout

The 13 tennis courts in particular are notable — most 55+ communities at this entry price aren't running a tennis program at that scale.

Where Delray Trails Sits in the 55+ Market

For a new-construction 55+ community in Delray Beach, this is a genuinely lower entry point.

Buyers comparing Delray Trails typically also look at Valencia communities in Delray Beach, Cresswind Palm Beach, and Regency at Avenir. Those communities can offer larger homes or additional luxury features, but their entry prices are usually well above Delray Trails. The trade-off is real — smaller Villa footprints (~1,305–1,308 sf) and a duplex design — but the amenity-to-entry-price ratio is hard to match.

Is Delray Trails the Right Fit?

Delray Trails likely fits if you're looking for:

  • A newer gated 55+ community
  • A deep active-adult lifestyle amenity package
  • A Delray Beach address
  • A more attainable entry price for new construction

It's a weaker fit if you want a larger single-family footprint with a low-maintenance villa price — for that, you're typically looking at the Woods at a higher tier, or at the larger Valencia/Cresswind/Regency homes at a higher price point.
