Lotus Palm Homes for Sale

Lotus Palm is the middle chapter of GL Homes’ three-community Lotus story in western Boca Raton. Built on the former site of the Boca Municipal Golf Course, this 525-home community sits between the original Lotus to the north and Lotus Edge to the south along the Glades Road and Lyons Road corridor. It sold out in 2022, which means buyers enter exclusively through the resale market. The community is fully built, the clubhouse is open, and the courts are active.

For tennis and pickleball players, Lotus Palm delivers a solid on-site racquet program within a 100% contemporary residential setting and no mandatory club membership fees beyond HOA dues.

Tennis Lifestyle

The Lotus Palm Racquet Center sits adjacent to the main clubhouse at 20465 Golf Course Road and operates a full programming calendar year-round. The complex features six lighted tennis courts, five Har-Tru clay and one hard court, giving players a surface choice that most residential communities do not offer. Shade pavilions sit between courts for player rest and spectator viewing.

Five lighted pickleball courts round out the outdoor footprint, with dedicated wind screens and spectator areas. An indoor multi-sport court inside the clubhouse handles overflow and weather days, configurable for basketball and additional racquet formats. The pro shop stocks gear, apparel, and handles restringing, and the racquet center maintains a full professional staff including a Director of Racquet Club, pickleball professionals, and tennis pros running clinics, private lessons, junior development, and organized women’s team tennis with community league competition.

The Lotus Palm Racquet Center books court time and clinic registration through its own resident portal, which keeps programming organized and accessible for residents who play regularly.

Real Estate

Lotus Palm sold out in 2022 and all 525 homes are now in private hands. Buyers come in through the resale market, which has its own advantages: finished homes, established landscaping, a settled community culture, and the ability to see exactly what you are buying before committing.

Homes span two GL Homes collections, the Fiji Collection and the Bali Collection, with 11 floor plans total across one- and two-story layouts. Living square footage ranges from approximately 1,966 square feet on the smaller end to over 5,000 square feet in the largest Bali Collection designs. All homes carry GL Homes’ 100% contemporary architectural identity: flat rooflines, clean geometric exteriors, floor-to-ceiling glass, and indoor-outdoor integration built for Florida living.

Resale pricing in Lotus Palm typically runs from approximately $1.3M on the entry end to $3M-plus for premium lake-view lots and fully upgraded Bali Collection homes. The community sits on the Glades Road corridor just west of the Florida Turnpike, putting residents within reach of top-rated Palm Beach County schools, Town Center Mall, and the dining and retail corridors of western Boca Raton.

Clubhouse, Fitness, Dining & Wellness

The clubhouse at Lotus Palm spans approximately 26,500 square feet and anchors the community’s resort-style lifestyle. Aqua Bistro and Bar serves as the full-service on-site restaurant, with indoor and outdoor seating, poolside service, and a cocktail lounge designed for both casual and social use.

The aquatics complex centers on a beach-entry resort-style pool with lounge chairs, shaded cabanas, and a whirlpool spa, plus a separate lap pool for fitness swimmers and a splash pad for younger residents. A covered playground and party pavilion extend the outdoor amenity footprint beyond the pool deck.

The fitness center operates 24 hours with cardio and strength equipment, a group fitness studio, and a yoga garden outdoors adjacent to the clubhouse. Social spaces inside include an event room, card room, kids room, and game room. The indoor multi-sport court handles basketball tournaments and community events year-round regardless of weather.

Membership

Lotus Palm operates on the same HOA-inclusive model as the rest of the Lotus communities. There is no separate private club, no equity buy-in, and no mandatory country club dues. Residents pay monthly HOA fees covering access to the full amenity package including courts, clubhouse, pools, fitness, restaurant, and all community programming. The HOA also covers lawn maintenance, 24-hour manned gate security, common area upkeep, and social director services.

For buyers coming from traditional country club communities with large initiation fees and tiered membership structures, the Lotus Palm model is a significant simplification. One community, one monthly payment, full access.

Why Buyers Choose Lotus Palm

Lotus Palm sits in a position that neither of its siblings can replicate. It is fully sold out and resale-only, which means no construction activity, no model home traffic, and no build-out uncertainty. The community has matured. Landscaping is established, neighbors are settled, and the programming calendar is active. Buyers who want the Lotus lifestyle without the new construction process find Lotus Palm appealing for exactly these reasons.

The location on the former municipal golf course gives many lots premium greenway and lake views that feel more open than communities built on standard residential plats. Combined with contemporary architecture and a fully completed amenity package, the setting creates a character that is distinct from both the original Lotus community and the newer Lotus Edge development.

For families, the western Boca Raton school district, the indoor youth spaces, and the active junior programming at the racquet center make Lotus Palm a practical choice alongside the lifestyle appeal. For tennis players who value regular court access and a racquets culture that is already established, Lotus Palm delivers without the buy-in cost and ongoing obligations associated with a private equity club.
