Lotus Edge
An actively selling GL Homes new-construction community in West Boca Raton with contemporary single-family homes, a 39,000 sq ft clubhouse, and full resort amenities—no golf or equity membership.
Most buyers look at this community when they want newer construction with gated security and family-focused amenities. It works best if you value predictability and low-maintenance living. The tradeoff is HOA rules and less flexibility compared to non-HOA neighborhoods.
Lotus Edge: Buy-New, Contemporary Living in West Boca
Most buyers look at Lotus Edge when they want to build or buy new—a contemporary GL Homes single-family home with modern finishes and a full resort-amenity package, without golf, equity, or country-club obligations.
This works best if you're a family or move-up buyer who wants current construction, choice of floor plan and finishes, top-rated West Boca schools, and an active clubhouse lifestyle—and you're comfortable in the high-$1M to low-$3M range.
The tradeoff is the new-construction reality: base prices are just a starting point, lot premiums and upgrades add up fast, and to-be-built homes take time. If you want turnkey-now or a budget under ~$1.5M, this isn't the fit.
Community Overview
Lotus Edge is a GL Homes new-construction community in West Boca Raton, near Glades Road and Florida's Turnpike along the Lyons Road corridor. It is part of GL's broader Lotus expansion in west Boca—100% contemporary architecture, gated, with wide streets, lakes, and preserves.
This is an all-ages community, not 55+, with a strong family presence.
Homes & Pricing
GL Homes offers 12 floor plans across two collections—the Bali Collection and the Fiji Collection—as one- and two-story homes.
- ~1,966 to 5,177 sq ft under air
- From 2 bed / 2 bath + den up to 5–6 bed with gameroom, loft, and media room
- 2- to 4-car garages
- Impact glass, modern kitchens, high ceilings, contemporary finishes
Pricing: Base pricing runs from about $1,659,000 to ~$3M. Remember these are builder base prices—lot premiums, structural options, and design-center upgrades raise the real number meaningfully. Always work from the current GL price sheet and a full upgrade estimate.
Both to-be-built and quick-move-in (spec) homes are typically available.
Amenities & Lifestyle
The 39,000 sq ft clubhouse is open, anchoring a resort-style amenity package:
- Multiple resort pools plus a cold plunge
- Ambrosia restaurant & bar and the Lotus Lounge
- Full fitness center and spa-inspired areas
- Indoor sports courts, tennis, and pickleball
- Splash park, teen club room, and indoor kids zone
The pace is social and family-active. There is no golf course, no equity membership, and no dining minimum.
HOA & Costs
HOA covers lawn care, common areas, amenity access, and gated security. As a new community, confirm the current HOA schedule and any CDD assessment with the builder for the specific home and phase before contract. There is no equity or golf membership.
Why Buyers Choose Lotus Edge
- Buy new with choice of floor plan and finishes
- Contemporary construction and a brand-new 39,000 sq ft clubhouse
- Resort amenities without golf or equity fees
- Top-rated West Boca schools
- Both spec and to-be-built inventory
Who Should Skip Lotus Edge
- Budget under ~$1.5M → Lotus resales or West Delray family communities
- Want golf / a country club → The Oaks, Woodfield, or a full club
- Need turnkey immediately → A resale (Boca Bridges, Seven Bridges)
- Prefer traditional over contemporary → Older gated West Boca communities
- Want 55+ → A Valencia community or Kings Point
Rachel's Perspective
Lotus Edge is for buyers who specifically want to buy new and make it theirs. The homes are genuinely contemporary, the amenities are brand-new, and you get to choose your plan and finishes. The buyers who do best here go in clear-eyed about the new-construction process: base price is the beginning, upgrades matter, and timelines require patience.
If Lotus Edge is on your list, the most useful thing I can do is walk you through the current price sheet, realistic all-in cost with upgrades, and spec vs. to-be-built tradeoffs—so you're comparing it honestly against resales like Boca Bridges and Seven Bridges.
