Everton in Lantana: The New Construction Guide (Floor Plans, Pricing, What to Know)

If you’re researching Everton Lantana new construction, here’s the short version: Pulte Homes is building a gated town home community in Lantana, Palm Beach County, with two floor plans priced from the high $450s to the low $500s, an HOA around $199 a month that includes internet, and no CDD. That last part matters more than it sounds like it should, and we’ll get into why. This guide walks through the floor plans, the real numbers, the location tradeoffs, and how to handle the on-site sales team so you don’t leave money or leverage on the table.

Everton is currently in “Now Selling” status with models open, which means the pricing and availability below reflect where the community stands today, not a pre-construction guess. If you want the raw specs and current site page, start with Everton for the builder-level facts, and use this piece for the buyer’s-eye view of what it actually means to live there.

What Everton Actually Is

Everton is a gated town home community built by Pulte Homes in Lantana, a small, established town in Palm Beach County that sits east of the Florida Turnpike, close to I-95. Lantana isn’t a new name on the map. It’s an old Palm Beach County town with a real downtown, a public beach, and decades of single-family neighborhoods around it. What’s new is Pulte building fresh inventory inside that footprint, at a price point that’s become rare for new construction this close to West Palm Beach.

That’s the core of the Everton Lantana new construction story: it’s not a master-planned community carved out of former farmland 45 minutes west. It’s infill-style new construction inside an already-developed, already-convenient part of the county. That changes the calculus for a lot of buyers, especially anyone commuting into West Palm Beach, Boynton Beach, or even Fort Lauderdale on a bad traffic day.

Why Lantana, Specifically

Lantana works because it splits the difference. You’re not paying downtown West Palm Beach or Palm Beach Island prices, but you’re also not driving from Loxahatchee or Westlake every morning. It’s roughly 19 minutes to downtown West Palm Beach, with quick access to both I-95 and the Turnpike, which means Boynton Beach, Lake Worth Beach, and Delray Beach are all realistic day-to-day options too, not just West Palm Beach.

Honest 2026 Review both go into that in more detail than a community guide should try to cover.

The Floor Plan Lineup

Everton keeps things simple. There are two floor plans, both town homes, both 3 bedroom / 2.5 bath, both with a 1-car garage. That’s intentional. Pulte isn’t trying to be everything to everyone here. They’re building a focused product for a specific buyer, and the two plans reflect two slightly different versions of that buyer.

Latitude II: The Entry Point

The Latitude II is the smaller of the two plans at about 1,550 square feet, and it’s priced from around $458,000. This is the lowest-cost way into brand-new construction this close to West Palm Beach right now, and that’s worth sitting with for a second. New construction under $460,000 inside a 20-minute drive of downtown WPB is not the norm in 2026. Most new product at that proximity has pushed well past that number.

The Latitude II is a straightforward, efficient layout. It’s built for buyers who want new (new HVAC, new roof, new appliances, builder warranty) more than they want square footage. First-time buyers, downsizers, and investors looking at rental potential all fit this plan reasonably well.

Nautical: The Work-From-Home Plan

The Nautical steps up to about 1,750 square feet and adds a dedicated flex room, priced in the low $500s, generally staying under $550,000. That flex room is the whole point of this plan. It’s a real, separate space, not a nook carved out of the living room, which makes it usable as a home office, a nursery, a guest room, or a hobby room depending on what stage of life you’re in.

Stanley’s read on this: the Nautical is the “sweet spot” plan for anyone who works remotely or hybrid and doesn’t want to pay single-family pricing just to get a door they can close during a work call. It’s the plan most likely to satisfy a buyer who almost bought a single-family home 20 minutes further west just for the extra room, and then realized they’d rather keep the shorter commute and the lower price.

Pricing and the Real Monthly Math

Sticker price is only half the picture with new construction. The other half is what you’re paying every month on top of the mortgage, and this is where Everton separates itself from a lot of the new inventory going up further west in Palm Beach County.

The HOA

Everton’s HOA runs about $199 a month, and it includes high-speed internet. Bundling internet into the HOA isn’t just a nice-to-have. It’s a real dollar amount you’d otherwise pay separately every month, so when you’re comparing Everton’s HOA against a community with a $150 HOA that doesn’t include internet, run the actual math before assuming the other option is cheaper.

The CDD Question (Or the Lack of One)

Here’s the bigger one: Everton has no CDD. A Community Development District is a separate, decades-long assessment that many newer Palm Beach County communities carry to fund the infrastructure, the roads, the drainage, the amenities, that got built before anyone moved in. CDD payments show up on your tax bill and they don’t go away for 20 to 30 years, and they can run anywhere from a few hundred to a few thousand dollars a year depending on the community.

Everton skipping the CDD structure means your monthly housing cost is more predictable and, in most side-by-side comparisons against CDD communities at a similar price point, meaningfully lower. If you’re cross-shopping new construction across the county, this is one of the first questions to ask every builder rep, because it’s often buried in the paperwork rather than led with in the sales pitch. For a broader look at whether new construction pencils out in this county at all right now, Is New Construction Worth It in Palm Beach County in 2026? walks through the tradeoffs builder by builder.

The Condo Crisis Angle

There’s a second layer to Everton’s monthly-cost story that’s specific to Florida right now: the ongoing condo crisis. Older condo and townhome associations across Broward and Palm Beach County have been hit with structural inspection requirements and, in a lot of buildings, five and six-figure special assessments to cover deferred maintenance and reserve shortfalls. That’s a real, current risk for anyone buying into an older association.

New construction sidesteps that risk almost entirely. Everton’s structures are brand new, built to current code, with fresh reserves starting from zero. Combined with no CDD and an HOA that includes internet, the total cost of ownership here is genuinely more predictable than what you’d get buying an older, cheaper townhome nearby that looks like a better deal on paper until the first special assessment notice shows up.

Amenities and What’s Actually Included

Everton is gated, which matters for buyers coming from out of state who want a baseline level of privacy and control over who’s driving through the neighborhood. Inside the gates, the amenity package is a resort-style pool with a cabana and a tot lot for younger kids. It’s not an amenity-heavy community with a clubhouse, a fitness center, and a lazy river. It’s a tighter, more efficient package that keeps the HOA low, which lines up with the overall value proposition here: new construction, low monthly costs, straightforward amenities, without paying for a country club you may not use.

If you’re coming from a market where amenity-loaded communities are the norm, don’t mistake Everton’s simpler package for a downgrade. It’s a tradeoff, and for a lot of buyers focused on monthly payment over resort living, it’s the right one.

Location Tradeoffs, Honestly

No community guide is complete without the honest version of the location conversation, so here it is.

What You Gain

You gain proximity. Lantana’s position east of the Turnpike puts you close to I-95, which opens up West Palm Beach, Boynton Beach, Lake Worth Beach, and Delray Beach without a long commute. You also gain an established town with a real identity rather than a brand-new master-planned bubble with no history and no downtown of its own. For families relocating from out of state who want walkable-adjacent, small-town character without giving up commute access, this is a meaningful advantage over the far-west new construction corridor. Best Palm Beach County Suburbs for Families Relocating in 2026 breaks down how Lantana stacks up against other family-friendly options in the county if you’re comparing towns, not just communities.

What You Give Up

You give up the sprawling lot sizes and larger single-family footprints you’d find in newer communities out west. Everton is a town home product, attached or semi-attached living, with a 1-car garage rather than a 2 or 3-car garage. If your priority is maximum square footage and a big private yard, this isn’t that community, and you should be looking at single-family new construction further west instead, where land is cheaper and lots are bigger, in exchange for a longer commute.

It’s also worth being clear-eyed about what “close to West Palm Beach” means in daily traffic. Nineteen minutes is a real, drivable number outside of peak hours, but South Florida traffic isn’t always cooperative, and anyone weighing West Palm Beach proper against a suburban option like Lantana should read West Palm Beach vs Palm Beach Gardens: City Energy or Suburban Comfort? for a sense of how the broader West Palm corridor compares on lifestyle, not just commute time.

HOA vs. CDD, One More Time (Because It’s the Whole Ballgame)

It’s worth repeating because so many buyers gloss over it during a builder walkthrough: HOA and CDD are not the same thing, and they don’t disappear the same way. An HOA fee funds ongoing maintenance and amenities and can, in theory, be voted down or restructured by the community over time. A CDD is government-backed debt tied to the land itself, and it’s baked into your tax bill for decades regardless of what the HOA board decides.

Everton’s structure, no CDD plus a modest HOA that includes internet, is the more buyer-friendly version of new construction financing. When you’re touring other Palm Beach County communities and a rep quotes you a lower base price, always ask directly: “Is there a CDD, and what’s the current annual assessment?” Some reps will answer clearly. Others will bury it in the closing disclosure. Ask early.

Who Everton Is Actually For

Being direct about fit saves everyone time. Everton works well for:

1. First-time buyers priced out of single-family homes in Palm Beach County who still want to be close to West Palm Beach, not 40 minutes west of it.
2. Remote and hybrid workers who specifically want the Nautical’s flex room instead of converting a bedroom or working from the kitchen table.
3. Downsizers coming out of a larger, older single-family home who want new construction without taking on another big lot to maintain.
4. Investors looking at a low-maintenance rental product in a location with strong long-term rental demand given the proximity to West Palm Beach employment centers.
5. Relocating families who want small-town character (Lantana has one) over a brand-new, identity-less master-planned zip code.

It’s a weaker fit if you need a large private yard, a 2 or 3-car garage, or a full resort amenity package. That’s not a knock on Everton, it’s just not what this community is built to be.

How to Approach the Builder (The Smart Way)

Here’s the part most buyers get wrong at every new construction community, not just Everton: the on-site sales team works for Pulte, not for you. They’re professional, they’re often helpful, and they’re not lying to you, but their job is to sell Pulte’s inventory at Pulte’s price. That’s a fundamentally different incentive than an agent working on your behalf.

The move is simple. Bring your own agent with you on your first visit, or before you sign anything. It costs you nothing (the builder pays the commission either way, and it’s already baked into the price), and it means you have someone reviewing the contract, the HOA documents, and the upgrade pricing who isn’t financially tied to Pulte closing that specific sale. If you’re already touring Everton’s models, that’s the moment to have representation lined up, not after you’ve verbally committed to a lot.

How Everton Compares to Other Palm Beach New Construction

Everton’s closest point of comparison in terms of positioning, not price, is a community like Agave Boca in Boca Raton, which sits at a completely different price point (from $1.3M) but represents the same builder logic: understand exactly what you’re paying for beyond the sticker price. Agave Boca is GL Homes chasing the luxury end of Boca Raton. Everton is Pulte chasing the value end of Lantana. Different budgets, same underlying advice: know the HOA, know the CDD status, know the floor plan lineup, and know who’s actually representing your interests at the table.

Within Lantana specifically, if you’re deciding whether new construction beats buying resale in the same town, Lantana, FL Real Estate Market 2026: Prices, Trends & What Buyers Should Expect lays out where resale pricing sits right now so you can compare it directly against Everton’s new-build numbers instead of guessing.

The Bottom Line

Everton is Pulte doing something increasingly rare in Palm Beach County: building genuinely new, gated town homes inside a 20-minute drive of West Palm Beach, without loading the deal down with a CDD. Two plans, the Latitude II from about $458,000 and the Nautical in the low $500s with its flex room, cover a narrow but real slice of buyers who want new construction, a manageable commute, and a predictable monthly payment.

The reality is that the sticker price only tells part of the story. The HOA, the missing CDD, and the internet bundled into that monthly fee are what actually determine whether this is a good deal relative to everything else being built in the county right now. Walk in with that math already done, bring your own representation, and you’ll be negotiating from a position most buyers never get to.
