The Palms Collection is the entry tier within Regency at Avenir — the 55+ active-adult community by Toll Brothers inside the Avenir master plan in Palm Beach Gardens. This post is specifically about the Palms sub-collection. For broader Regency at Avenir context (Palms vs. Tradewinds Collection comparison, the master plan framework, who Regency works for at the community level), see my full Regency at Avenir guide. This Palms-specific guide focuses on the 7 floor plans, 50' lot width strategy, current Q2 2026 pricing, and who the Palms tier specifically fits.
The Palms Collection Snapshot
The Palms Collection is one of two sub-collections within Regency at Avenir, Toll Brothers' 55+ active-adult community in Palm Beach Gardens. Regency totals 469 single-family homes across Palms (entry tier) + Tradewinds (premium tier, starting around the $900s). Palms is designed for downsizers who want Toll Brothers quality without paying for square footage they won't use. All seven Palms floor plans are single-story with 50-foot lot widths — intentionally smaller footprint than Tradewinds.
What "Active-Adult Inside a Master Plan" Actually Means
Most active-adult communities are standalone. They build their own clubhouse, their own amenities, their own ecosystem — sized only to the residents of that one neighborhood. When you live there, you live in a 55+ bubble: drive everywhere, limited options, age-restricted at every level.
Avenir inverts that model.
Regency at Avenir is a gated 55+ enclave inside Avenir — Palm Beach County's largest master plan at approximately 4,752 acres with 2,400+ acres of conservation and preserve. That means Palms Collection residents get:
Age-restricted 55+ living + Multigenerational master-plan infrastructure- The Pearl clubhouse (Regency residents only) for the social calendar, fitness, amenities
- Golf-cart connectivity across the broader Avenir master plan
- Preserve trails and conservation areas for daily walks and nature access
- Avenir Town Center (under development) for shopping and dining
- Avenir master amenity infrastructure beyond what a standalone 55+ community could afford
This is the structural difference. You buy into a 55+ neighborhood without buying into a 55+ bubble. The infrastructure scales beyond what age-restricted communities typically support on their own.
The Seven Palms Floor Plans
Palms Collection offers seven unique single-story floor plans, each available with significant personalization through the Toll Brothers Design Studio. Verified plan names per Toll Brothers Q1 2026 listings:
Two related floor plans, the Jesalin and Jesalin Boca Raton elevation. Smaller-tier within Palms. Designed for the more compact 50' footprint with practical layouts.
Mid-tier Palms floor plan. Modern open concept with great room focus.
Two versions of the McKenna plan including a Contemporary elevation option. Mid-to-upper tier within Palms.
Currently available as a decorated model home (per Toll Brothers May 2026). Decorated models allow you to see finished representations before customizing your own build. Priced from $664,995 with current incentive financing.
Upper-tier within Palms. Largest of the Palms Collection plans approaching the 2,578 sq ft maximum.
Every Palms floor plan can be personalized through the Toll Brothers Southeast Regional Design Studio with hundreds of structural and finish options. This is meaningfully more customization than typical production builders.
All seven plans share core characteristics: single-story design, large great rooms, covered lanais, modern open-concept layouts, gourmet kitchens, spacious living areas, private primary bedroom suites. Designed specifically for active-adult downsizers who want everything on one floor.
Why 50' Lot Widths Matter
Palms Collection homes sit on 50-foot lot widths. This is intentional design strategy — not a limitation.
Smaller lot = less yard to maintain. Less landscaping cost. Less personal time spent on yardwork. For active-adult buyers who want to spend time on activities other than mowing, this is the design intent.
Smaller lots also mean HOA can maintain landscaping at lower per-home cost — supporting included lawn maintenance in Regency's structure. Convenient for snowbirds and seasonal residents who don't want to coordinate landscapers remotely.
50' lots vs. Tradewinds' larger lots is the primary driver of the price gap between Palms ($623K-$697K) and Tradewinds ($900K+). Buyers who don't need acreage or large outdoor space save meaningfully by choosing Palms.
1,883-2,578 sq ft is genuinely enough living space for most active-adult downsizers. The 50' width doesn't force micro-apartment scale — it forces efficient design.
The Toll Brothers approach: build quality construction, premium finishes, durable systems on a smaller footprint. Capital that would otherwise go into extra square footage goes into the home itself.
Most 55+ buyers are downsizing from larger family homes. They've already had the 3,500 sq ft home with the big yard. They want quality, comfort, and convenience — not more space to maintain.
The Pearl Clubhouse and Amenities
Resort-style amenities are central to the Regency value proposition. The Pearl clubhouse is a private residents-only amenity center available to all Regency at Avenir homeowners (both Palms and Tradewinds collections).
Heated pool, spa, surrounding deck areas. Designed for daily use and social gathering.
Full equipment suite for cardio and strength training. Designed with active-adult ergonomics and senior-friendly equipment options.
Dedicated yoga studio space. Group classes and individual practice both supported.
Three court sports represented. Pickleball has become the dominant active-adult social sport in PBC — multiple courts critical. Bocce is the less-promoted active-adult sport but heavily used in mature 55+ communities.
Indoor golf simulator allows year-round play regardless of weather. Particularly valuable in summer heat or unexpected weather days. Less promoted feature in active-adult communities.
Dedicated art room with kiln (ceramic firing). This is unusually serious art infrastructure — not just a craft room. Pottery, ceramics, mixed media all supported.
Dedicated ballroom for community events, parties, dance evenings, holiday gatherings.
On-site cafe for daily coffee, casual meeting space, and food service for events. Reduces friction of meeting other residents.
Open-air amphitheater for performances, screenings, community celebrations. Florida weather appropriate.
On-site Lifestyle Director maintains a full social calendar of activities: cocktail parties, card tournaments, dinner clubs, philanthropic groups, continuous learning programs. This is unusual — most 55+ communities have part-time or no dedicated lifestyle director.
Surrounding bike and walking paths integrated with Avenir master plan trail system. Daily exercise built into the community design.
Beyond Regency-specific amenities, Palms residents have golf-cart access to the broader Avenir master plan with preserve trails and (under-development) Town Center retail and dining.
Palms vs. Tradewinds: The Internal Decision
Both Palms and Tradewinds Collections share The Pearl clubhouse, the Avenir master plan, and the lifestyle infrastructure. The choice between them is about home size, lot width, and budget — not amenities.
Palms Collection (this guide):
- 7 floor plans, 1,883-2,578 sq ft
- 50' lot widths
- 2-3 bedrooms, 2-3 baths
- Pricing $623,995-$697,995+
- Single-story
- Best for: Downsizers who don't need maximum size, snowbirds focused on amenity access, buyers wanting Toll Brothers quality with smaller maintenance footprint
Tradewinds Collection:
- Larger floor plans (~2,000-2,800+ sq ft)
- Larger lot widths
- 2-3 bedrooms with more flexibility
- Pricing starting in the $900,000s
- Single-story
- Best for: Buyers wanting premium positioning, larger entertaining spaces, buyers not size-constrained budget-wise, often relocations with significant home equity from primary residence sale
The cost difference is significant ($623K vs $900K+ — ~$300K+ delta). For buyers with budget flexibility but lifestyle preference for smaller home + lower maintenance, Palms is the better choice. For buyers with budget appetite and entertaining requirements, Tradewinds is the upgrade.
Per Toll Brothers May 2026 marketing on the Samantha decorated model: 3.99% (6.22% APR) first-year rate with 30-year fixed rate via 2/1 buydown program. Incentives change frequently; verify current program at time of inquiry. Builder incentives during final-phase sell-out periods often improve materially, but verify everything specific to your home, your floor plan, your lot, and the timing of your offer.
Who the Palms Collection Specifically Works For
Palms is the right fit for specific buyer profiles within the broader Regency at Avenir community:
- Downsizers from larger PBC homes (Wellington equestrian, Boca Raton luxury, PBG larger estates) seeking right-sized 55+ living with amenities
- Snowbirds wanting low-maintenance Florida residence — HOA-included lawn maintenance, smaller footprint, less yard work
- NYC/NJ/Boston/Chicago relocations to PBC 55+ active-adult with established home equity but practical lifestyle preference
- Pickleball-active 55+ buyers — Pickleball is dominant social sport here; multiple courts critical
- Cultural/social 55+ buyers — full-time Lifestyle Director with substantive calendar matters
- Buyers who don't want a country club commitment in PBG (no equity initiation, no F&B minimum, no transfer fees)
- Toll Brothers brand-loyal buyers who've owned other Toll Brothers homes
- Single-story-only buyers — mobility planning or preference for no stairs
- Buyers prioritizing master plan over standalone 55+ bubble
- Couples with grown children who want guest space (2-3 BR + 2-3 BA accommodates visiting family)
- Wellness-focused 55+ buyers — full fitness + yoga studio + amenity layering vs. golf-only positioning
Less ideal fit for:
- Buyers wanting maximum size (Tradewinds Collection serves better)
- Buyers seeking acreage or large lots
- Active golf-focused buyers (no on-site championship course; golf simulator only)
- Buyers requiring waterfront direct ocean access
- Buyers wanting traditional Mediterranean architecture (Palms is coastal modern)
- Buyers under 55 — age restriction strict
- Buyers wanting Wellington equestrian or Boca contemporary location preference
- Multigenerational households (age-restriction limits)
What to Verify Before Going Under Contract
Critical pre-offer verification items for Palms Collection specifically:
- Current available inventory by floor plan — which of the 7 Palms plans are currently for sale, ready-to-move vs. build-to-suit
- Current pricing per floor plan and lot — base price + lot premium + Design Studio upgrades
- Current builder incentives — rate buy-down programs, closing credits, Design Studio credits, financing terms (per May 2026 the 3.99% 2/1 buydown was active; verify current)
- HOA monthly dues — exact current amount, what's included (lawn maintenance, amenity access, security)
- CDD fees — verify if Avenir has CDD (Community Development District) fees; if so, exact amount and duration
- HOA reserves and annual budget — financial health review
- HOA restrictions — rental policies critical for snowbirds, pet policies, exterior modifications, lease minimums, age verification process
- 55+ age verification process — HUD HOPA (Housing for Older Persons Act) compliance; how Regency manages age verification annually
- Builder warranty terms — Toll Brothers warranty coverage, duration, exclusions
- Independent professional inspection — even on new construction
- Pre-closing walkthrough rights
- Florida 2026 insurance quotes with multiple carriers
- Design Studio process and remaining options — what structural changes are still available on your specific lot
- Lot orientation and view premiums — preserve views, water views, golf simulator visibility, etc.
- MLS comparables — resale Palms homes (if any), comparable PBG new construction, country club 55+ alternatives
- Avenir master plan timeline — status of Town Center development, expected retail/dining openings
- Property tax estimation — PBG luxury tier
- Tradewinds comparison analysis — if budget allows, whether Tradewinds upgrade makes sense for your specific situation
Location and Access
Regency at Avenir sits along Northlake Boulevard in Palm Beach Gardens, within the larger Avenir master plan.
Saks, Nordstrom, Apple, full luxury retail. Minutes from community.
Entertainment and dining district. Quick access for evenings out.
Public and private golf courses along the PGA Corridor for occasional play (no on-site course at Regency).
Jupiter Beach, Juno Beach, Singer Island all within easy drive. PBC beaches accessible.
Under development — mixed-use town center within Avenir master plan with retail, dining, professional services planned. Golf-cart access from Regency.
Easy access to Florida's Turnpike, I-95, and SR-710. Connects south to Boca, Fort Lauderdale, Miami; north to Stuart, Vero Beach.
Healthcare proximity matters for active-adult buyers: PBG has multiple medical facilities within short drive. The forthcoming Cleveland Clinic Hospital in downtown West Palm Beach (~25-30 minutes south) becomes an additional medical infrastructure asset once it opens in 2029.
The Strategic Read
The Palms Collection is the right entry point for active-adult buyers who want Toll Brothers quality + master-plan infrastructure + amenity-rich lifestyle — without buying maximum size or premium positioning.
You're getting:
- Toll Brothers construction quality and design
- The Pearl clubhouse and amenities (same as Tradewinds gets)
- Avenir master plan infrastructure
- Single-story design + 50' lot for low maintenance
- Modern open-concept floor plans 1,883-2,578 sq ft
- Design Studio personalization
- On-site Lifestyle Director
- No country club initiation, no F&B minimum, no equity transfer (unlike PBG country club alternatives)
You're not getting:
- Maximum home size (Tradewinds for that)
- Largest lot (Tradewinds for that)
- Premium positioning within community
- On-site championship golf course
- Waterfront direct ocean access
- Wellington equestrian or Boca contemporary location
The right way to evaluate Palms vs. Tradewinds is your actual lifestyle preference, not just budget. Many buyers who could afford Tradewinds choose Palms intentionally because they don't want the larger home. They've already had the big house. Now they want quality + amenities + low maintenance.
