Everton, Lantana New Construction Guide: Floor Plans, Pricing, HOA, and What to Know Before You Buy

If you’re researching Everton, Lantana new construction, here’s what you need to know up front: this is Pulte Homes’ gated townhome community in Lantana, Palm Beach County, with two floor plans ranging from about $458K to $565K, an HOA around $199 a month that includes high-speed internet, and no CDD. That last part matters more than most buyers realize, and we’ll get into why.

This guide walks through the floor plans, the real numbers, the location tradeoffs, and the smart way to work with the builder so you don’t leave money or leverage on the table.

What Is Everton?

Everton is a gated townhome community built by Pulte Homes in Lantana, a small city in Palm Beach County that sits east of the Florida Turnpike. That location detail matters. A lot of new construction in Palm Beach County right now is happening further west, out toward the Turnpike corridor and beyond, where land is cheaper but commutes get longer. Everton is the opposite play: it’s close in, about 19 minutes from downtown West Palm Beach, while still landing in the $450s to low $500s.

The community is currently in “Now Selling” status with models open, which means you can walk both floor plans today rather than buying off a rendering. That’s worth doing before you sign anything, because photos and renderings never fully capture how a 1,550 square foot townhome actually lives.

For a full breakdown of pricing history and how Everton compares to other Palm Beach new construction, see the Everton, Lantana Review (2026), which tracks the community’s numbers over time.

Why Lantana Specifically

Lantana doesn’t get the same attention as Boynton Beach, Lake Worth, or Delray Beach, but it’s a legitimate town with its own identity: a walkable downtown area, proximity to the Lantana Municipal Airport, and quick access to both I-95 and the Turnpike. It’s also close to Hypoluxo and unincorporated areas that feed into the same school zones. For a relocating buyer who wants to be near West Palm Beach without paying West Palm Beach prices, Lantana is one of the more underrated options in the county right now.

Everton Floor Plans: Latitude II and Nautical

Everton offers two floor plans, and both are 3 bedroom, 2.5 bath townhomes with a 1-car garage. The difference is size, price, and whether you get a dedicated flex room.

Latitude II: The Entry Point

The Latitude II is 1,550 square feet and starts around $458K. This is the lowest-cost way into a new, gated home this close to West Palm Beach. It’s a straightforward 3-bedroom layout without a dedicated office or bonus space, which makes it the right call for buyers who don’t need extra square footage and want to keep the monthly payment as low as possible while still owning something brand new.

Nautical: The Work-From-Home Plan

The Nautical is 1,750 square feet and priced in the low $500s, staying under $550K. The 200 extra square feet goes toward a dedicated flex room, which is the real selling point of this plan. If you work from home, host family regularly, or just want a room that isn’t a bedroom or a garage, the Nautical is the community’s sweet spot. It’s the plan Stanley points remote workers and dual-income households toward, because the flex room solves a real problem instead of just adding square footage for the sake of it.

Both plans were covered in walkthrough videos if you want to see them in person before visiting: “Inside Everton’s Latitude II Model: $458k New Homes In Palm Beach” and “The Best Flex-Space Townhome in West Palm Beach: Pulte’s Nautical Plan.” Watching a walkthrough before you tour in person helps you show up with better questions instead of just reacting to what the sales rep points out.

Everton Pricing: The Real Numbers for 2026

Here’s the math of Everton, broken down plainly:

• Latitude II: from approximately $458,000 (1,550 sq ft)
• Nautical: low $500s, under $550,000 (1,750 sq ft + flex room)
• Overall community range: roughly $451,000 to $565,000 depending on lot premium, elevation, and structural options
• HOA: approximately $199 per month, and this includes high-speed internet
• CDD: none

That HOA number deserves a second look. $199 a month that includes internet is genuinely competitive when you consider what a standalone internet bill runs in Palm Beach County ($70 to $100 a month for comparable speeds isn’t unusual). So the effective HOA, once you back out what you’d otherwise pay for internet anyway, is closer to $100 to $130 a month for gate access, the pool, cabana, and grounds maintenance. That’s a reasonable number for a gated community with resort-style amenities.

Where the Price Goes Up

Builder base pricing is rarely the final number. Lot premiums (corner lots, lots backing to preserve or water, better sun orientation) and structural options (extended patios, upgraded elevations, garage add-ons where available) will push you above the base price advertised online. Budget accordingly. If a rep quotes you the $458K base for the Latitude II, ask directly what the “typical” out-the-door price is on lots currently available, not just the floor price on the least desirable lot in the community.

HOA and CDD Reality at Everton

This is where Everton actually differentiates itself from a lot of what’s being built in Palm Beach County right now.

No CDD Is a Real Advantage, Not a Marketing Line

A Community Development District (CDD) fee is essentially a bond the developer took out to build infrastructure (roads, utilities, drainage, sometimes amenities) that gets passed to homeowners as a separate line item, often for 20 to 30 years, on top of the mortgage and HOA. Many of the newer communities being built further west in Palm Beach County carry CDD debt, and it can add anywhere from $100 to $300+ a month depending on the community and the size of the bond.

Everton has no CDD. That’s not a small thing. On a $500,000 townhome, avoiding a $150 to $200 a month CDD fee is the equivalent of a meaningfully lower effective interest rate over the life of the loan. When you’re comparing Everton against other new construction in the area, don’t just compare the sticker price of the home. Compare the full monthly carrying cost: mortgage plus HOA plus CDD (if any) plus insurance and taxes. Everton often comes out ahead in that full comparison even when a competing community has a lower base price, because that competing community may be quietly adding a CDD fee that doesn’t show up until you’re deep into the paperwork.

The Florida Condo Crisis Angle

If you’ve been anywhere near South Florida real estate news over the past couple of years, you’ve heard about the post-Surfside condo safety reforms and the wave of special assessments hitting older condo and HOA buildings, some running well over $100,000 per unit. That crisis is centered on aging buildings that deferred maintenance for decades and are now being forced to catch up all at once under new state law.

New construction sidesteps that risk almost entirely. A brand-new build like Everton isn’t carrying decades of deferred reserve funding, and the structural components are covered under builder warranty in the early years. For a buyer who’s watched a friend or relative get hit with a surprise assessment on an older Broward or Palm Beach building, that predictability is a real selling point, not just a talking point.

What’s Included at Everton

Pulte’s standard finish package at this price point typically covers the essentials without a heavy structural upgrade budget baked in. Walk the model homes and pay attention to what’s actually standard versus what’s staged as a designer upgrade. Ask specifically:

• What countertop material is standard versus upgrade
• Whether the flex room in the Nautical comes with a door or is open concept
• What’s included in the garage (opener, insulation, epoxy floor or bare slab)
• Whether the patio is covered or open by default
• What the community’s exterior color and material options look like, since HOA architectural guidelines will govern what you can change later

None of this is unusual for production-builder new construction, but buyers who skip these questions are the ones who end up surprised at the design center when the “included” home they toured turns into a $20,000 to $40,000 options invoice.

The Community: Gate, Pool, and Amenities

Everton is gated, which matters for a townhome community where units share more common wall space than a single-family neighborhood. The amenity package is a resort-style pool with a cabana and a tot lot, which is appropriately scaled for a community this size. It’s not trying to be a lifestyle mega-amenity community with a clubhouse and fitness center. It’s a tighter, more efficient package that keeps the HOA low while still giving residents a real pool and a place for kids to play.

If you’re coming from a condo or an apartment and want your first “real” amenity package without the maintenance of a single-family yard, this fits that use case well.

Location Tradeoffs: What You’re Actually Buying Into

Every new construction decision in South Florida comes down to a tradeoff between price, space, and commute. Here’s how Everton stacks up on each.

The Commute

At about 19 minutes to downtown West Palm Beach, Everton is genuinely commutable for someone working in the city center, the government complex, or the medical corridor around Good Samaritan and St. Mary’s. That’s a meaningfully shorter drive than communities being built out near Loxahatchee or western Boynton Beach, where 35 to 45 minutes to downtown WPB during rush hour isn’t unusual.

The Tradeoff: Lot Size and Home Size

You’re buying a townhome, not a single-family home. 1,550 to 1,750 square feet with a 1-car garage is a real constraint if you’re coming from a larger single-family home or have a growing family that needs more bedrooms. Everton is best suited for first-time buyers, downsizers, remote workers who don’t need a big footprint, and investors targeting the rental or relocation market. If you need 4 bedrooms and a 2-car garage, this isn’t your community, and you should look further west or at single-family new construction elsewhere in the county.

Access to I-95 and the Turnpike

Being east of the Turnpike in Lantana gives you quick access to both major north-south corridors, which matters if your job isn’t in West Palm Beach proper but somewhere else along the I-95 spine, Boca Raton, Delray Beach, or even north into Palm Beach Gardens on a longer commute day.

The Smart Way to Approach the Builder

Here’s what most people don’t tell you about buying new construction: the on-site sales team works for the builder, not for you. At Everton, the reps on site represent Pulte Homes. Their job is to sell Pulte’s inventory at Pulte’s terms. That’s not a criticism, it’s just the reality of how new construction sales work, and understanding it changes how you should approach the process.

Bring your own agent, and bring them with you on your first visit, not after you’ve already fallen in love with a lot and started negotiating on your own. In new construction, the seller (the builder) typically pays the buyer’s agent commission, meaning representation doesn’t cost you anything extra out of pocket in most cases. What it does get you is someone who can:

• Review the purchase contract line by line before you sign, since builder contracts are written to protect the builder
• Track incentives being offered on other lots or communities so you know if you’re getting a fair deal
• Time your offer around the builder’s release schedule, since pricing often steps up as each new phase or lot release goes live
• Flag lot premiums and structural option costs before you’re emotionally attached to a specific unit

If you walk in without representation, you’re negotiating against a team that does this full time, with no one in your corner asking the questions you don’t know to ask yet.

Who Everton Is For (and Who It Isn’t)

Everton makes the most sense for:

• First-time buyers who want new construction without a 4-bedroom price tag
• Remote workers who need the Nautical’s flex room but not a full home office wing
• Downsizers coming out of a larger home who don’t need the space anymore
• Buyers relocating to Palm Beach County who want predictable costs (no CDD) and a shorter commute to West Palm Beach
• Investors targeting the relocation and rental market in a walkable, gated community

It’s probably not the right fit if you need more than 3 bedrooms, want a 2-car garage, need a large private yard, or are set on a specific school zone that doesn’t align with the Lantana area (confirm current zoning directly with the School District of Palm Beach County, since boundaries can shift).

How Everton Compares to Other Palm Beach New Construction

The clearest way to evaluate Everton is against the two variables that actually drive your monthly cost: base price and hidden fees. A community priced $30,000 to $50,000 lower than Everton but carrying a CDD fee can end up costing more per month once you run the real numbers. A community priced higher but with a larger amenity package and bigger floor plans might make sense if you need the extra space and are willing to pay for it.

The exercise worth doing before you commit to any community, Everton included, is building out a full monthly cost comparison across two or three communities you’re considering: mortgage payment at current rates, HOA, CDD if applicable, estimated property taxes, and insurance. Don’t compare base prices in isolation. For a deeper side-by-side on where Everton lands against the broader West Palm Beach new construction market, the Everton in Lantana: The New Construction Guide breaks down the current inventory picture.

Bottom Line

Everton is a straightforward, well-priced entry into new construction in Palm Beach County. Two solid floor plans, real pricing from the high $450s to mid $500s, an HOA that actually gives you something back (internet included), and no CDD dragging down your monthly budget. The location in Lantana keeps you close enough to West Palm Beach to matter without paying West Palm Beach prices.

If you’re seriously considering Everton, walk both model homes, confirm current lot availability and pricing directly (builder pricing moves with each release), and bring an agent who can review the contract before you sign. The reality is new construction can be one of the more predictable ways to buy in this market right now, but only if you go in with the full numbers, not just the number on the sign out front.
