Brian Wilder's Advisory Note
Platina and Cypress Creek share a $330K price floor. That's worth a look before you compare either to anything else in this cluster. The two most likely differentiators: gate type and location within Boynton Beach. If one has a staffed gate and the other doesn't, those dues aren't comparable without adjusting. If both have the same gate type, location and amenity scope are the next variables to isolate.
The 1990s inspection checklist at Platina is four items — FP/Zinsco, polybutylene, roof, HVAC. No foundation review, no asbestos, no aluminum wiring. That's the lightest technical checklist in the cluster for a gated community. Budget for the four items and get them done before any contract. Call before you tour: 561-201-4717
