Everton By the Numbers

Six numbers that define Everton: pricing from the low $450s (range $451K-$555K), HOA ~$199/month, no CDD assessment (significant because many new PBC communities do have one), 1,550-1,750 square feet, 3 bedrooms / 2.5 baths across both floor plans, and Pulte Homes as the builder — one of the largest and most established national homebuilders in the United States.

About Pulte Homes — Why the Builder Matters

Everton is being built by Pulte Homes, a national homebuilder with more than 70 years of experience and over 775,000 homes built across the United States. This matters for three concrete reasons that new-construction buyers often underestimate:

• Warranty depth — a national builder with 70+ years has the operational structure to respond to warranty claims 5-10 years after delivery. Small local builders frequently don't
• Construction standardization — Pulte has established processes, material specifications, and quality standards. Consistency between units is high
• Resale liquidity — when the time comes to sell, "Pulte Homes" is a recognizable name to future buyers. That makes the resale market easier vs unknown local builders

For first-time buyers especially, purchasing from an established national builder is an additional layer of protection worth weighing in the decision.

Pricing and Monthly Costs — Why "No CDD" Matters

Homes at Everton typically start in the low $450,000s, making it one of the more attainable new construction opportunities in central Palm Beach County:

• Estimated price range: $451K – $555K
• HOA: approximately $199 per month
• CDD: None

The absence of CDD fees is significant because many new construction communities in Palm Beach County include additional assessments that increase monthly ownership costs. CDD (Community Development District) is a separate fee from HOA that funds development infrastructure — typically $1,000-$3,000+ per year on top of HOA. That's an additional $80-$250+ monthly above Everton's $199 HOA.

That difference matters for honest comparison: a home that looks "cheaper" at another new community with CDD can have a higher total monthly cost than Everton. For real monthly payment calculation, add HOA + CDD at competing developments before comparing against Everton.

The Location — East of the Turnpike Matters Structurally

One of the key benefits of Everton is its location in Lantana, Florida. Unlike many new developments farther west, Everton sits east of the Florida Turnpike, which shortens drive times to many popular destinations. The specific travel times:

• 2 minutes to I-95 — direct access to the main coastal highway
• 5 minutes to the Florida Turnpike — the other north-south corridor in the county
• 10 minutes to Lantana Beach — public beach with pier and restaurants
• 10 minutes to downtown Lake Worth Beach — walkable downtown with restaurants and cultural life
• 15 minutes to West Palm Beach — PBC's economic center, City Place, Brightline

This matters because most attainable new construction in PBC is in the far west — Westlake, Avenir, the western corridor developments. Those developments are new and affordable, but require 30-45 minutes of driving to reach the coast, I-95, or urban centers. Everton inverts that equation: attainable new construction, but with a location east of the Turnpike.

For the buyer who values proximity to the coast, fast I-95 access, and minimizing daily driving time, that geographic differential represents quality-of-life value that doesn't show up in the home's price.

Community Amenities

Everton is designed as a private gated neighborhood with amenities scaled for a townhome community — not sprawling resort-style, but covering the essentials:

• Resort-style swimming pool — swimming and lounging area
• Cabana area — shade and socialization next to the pool
• Tot lot playground — dedicated playground inside the community
• Gated entrance — controlled access community

Homes are also delivered with smart home pre-wiring, which allows buyers to integrate technology such as doorbell cameras, smart locks, connected thermostats, audio systems, and other devices without having to open walls afterward. For tech-aware buyers, that pre-wiring represents real savings versus retrofitting later.

The Two Floor Plans — Latitude II and Nautical

Everton includes multiple townhome layouts designed for different buyer needs. Both share the core configuration (3 bedrooms / 2.5 baths / 1-car garage / smart-home pre-wiring / open-concept living / upstairs bedroom layout / energy-efficient construction) but differ in size. Identify which fits your actual use before visiting.

The 200 sq ft difference between the two models may not look like much on paper, but in a 3-bedroom townhome it's the difference between "functional" and "comfortable". If you work from home, Nautical has more space for a dedicated office. If you're a single buyer or couple without children, Latitude II may be enough and more attainable.

Who Everton Works Best For

This community tends to attract several types of buyers:

• First-time homebuyers looking for new construction — entry-level pricing, national builder, no CDD, near coastal employment
• Young professionals working near I-95 or coastal areas — 2 minutes to I-95 means minimal commute to West Palm Beach or south toward Boca/Boynton
• Buyers relocating to Palm Beach County — Everton is operationally immediate: new construction means zero deferred maintenance, east-of-Turnpike means real coastal access
• Investors seeking newer properties with modern layouts — appeals to the young-professional rental market with low maintenance overhead and modern amenities
• Buyers who specifically want new construction near the coast — the combination of new construction + east-of-Turnpike + under $500K is genuinely difficult to find in PBC
• Buyers who value an established builder — Pulte Homes offers warranties, standardization, and a recognizable name for future resale
• Compact second-home buyers — Northeast, Midwest, or international buyers wanting a Florida winter base without the maintenance complexity of a single-family home

It may not be the best option for: large families needing 2,500+ sq ft, buyers who value large yards (townhome means small private outdoor space), buyers who prefer established communities with HOA history demonstrated over years, or buyers who need multiple garage spaces (1 garage is standard).

Everton vs Other New Construction in PBC

Within the PBC new-construction market, Everton has a specific position:

• vs Westlake — Westlake is attainable new construction but in the far western edge of the county (far from the coast, far from I-95). It carries a significant CDD. Everton offers new construction east of the Turnpike with no CDD at similar pricing
• vs Avenir / Alton (Palm Beach Gardens) — newer communities further north with significantly higher pricing. Everton offers new construction at a more attainable price point in a coastal location
• vs Townhome resales in Lantana / Lake Worth Beach — existing townhomes may be similar in price but require roof, systems, and HOA verification. Everton is new construction with full builder warranties
• vs Downtown Lake Worth Beach condos — downtown condos offer walkability but no private garage or single-family-style separation. Everton offers townhome privacy with easy access to downtown Lake Worth Beach (10 min)

None is objectively better — they're different products for different buyer profiles. Everton is the option for the buyer who specifically wants: new construction + national builder + east-of-Turnpike + under $500K + no CDD. That combination of criteria is genuinely difficult to find.
