Everton, Lantana Review (2026): Prices, Floor Plans, HOA, CDD, and Who It's For

If you’re searching “Everton, Lantana review” because you’ve seen the price tag and the gated entrance and you’re wondering if it’s actually a good buy, here’s the answer-first version: Everton is a Pulte Homes townhome community in Lantana, Palm Beach County, priced from roughly $458K to $565K, with a $199 a month HOA that includes high-speed internet, and no CDD. That last part matters more than most buyers realize, and we’ll get into why. But the short version is this: Everton is a solid option for a specific type of buyer, and a poor fit for another type. This review breaks down the real numbers so you can figure out which one you are.

I’m not going to sell you on Everton. I’m going to walk you through the floor plans, the actual monthly cost, the location, and who it makes sense for, the same way I’d walk a client through it if they called me asking “should I look at this one?”

Everton, Lantana Review: The Quick Take

Everton is a gated townhome community built by Pulte Homes, one of the larger national builders with a real track record in South Florida. It sits in Lantana, which is an underrated pocket of Palm Beach County east of the Turnpike, meaning you’re not out in the far-west new-construction sprawl. Status right now is “Now Selling,” with models open.

The pitch Pulte is making, and it’s a fair one, is new construction in the $450s to low $500s with no CDD. In a market where a lot of the newer Palm Beach County communities pushing west (think areas out toward Loxahatchee or the far reaches of western Boynton) come loaded with CDD bonds that add hundreds to your monthly payment for 20 to 30 years, a no-CDD community this close to I-95 is genuinely rare. That’s the headline. Everything else in this review is about whether the rest of the package holds up.

Where Everton Actually Sits

Location is where a lot of new construction reviews go generic. I’m not going to do that. Everton is in Lantana, east of the Florida Turnpike, which puts it in a meaningfully different category than communities that get lumped into “Lantana” or “Lake Worth” but are actually 15 to 20 minutes further west.

Being east of the Turnpike means:

• You’re roughly 19 minutes from downtown West Palm Beach, which matters if anyone in the household commutes there for work, whether that’s the financial and legal offices downtown or the Palm Beach County government complex.
• You have quick access to both I-95 and the Turnpike, which is the real test for any Palm Beach County location. If you can hit both corridors in under 10 minutes, your commute options open up in almost every direction: north to West Palm Beach and Palm Beach Gardens, south to Boynton Beach, Delray Beach, and into Broward County.
• Lantana itself is a smaller, quieter municipality wedged between Lake Worth Beach and Hypoluxo, close to the coast without coastal pricing. It’s not a name that gets the same buzz as Delray or Boca, but that’s part of the appeal for buyers who want proximity without paying the brand-name premium.

For relocators coming from out of state, this is a location that reads well on paper (close to the beach, close to two major highways, close to a real downtown) without the sticker shock of coastal Palm Beach County.

Everton, Lantana Review: Floor Plans and Real Prices

This is the part most builder websites bury. Here’s what you’re actually choosing between at Everton.

Latitude II, from around $458K

The Latitude II is the entry point into the community. It’s 1,550 square feet, 3 bedrooms, 2.5 bathrooms, and a 1-car garage. This is the plan that gets you into a brand-new, gated home in Palm Beach County for under $460K, which is genuinely hard to find right now east of the Turnpike. If your goal is simply “new construction, gated, lowest price possible, close to West Palm Beach,” this is the plan to look at first.

The tradeoff is size. 1,550 square feet for 3 bedrooms means the bedrooms and living space are efficient, not sprawling. This plan works well for a couple, a small family, or an investor buyer, but it’s not the plan for someone who needs a dedicated home office plus three full bedrooms.

Nautical, low $500s (under $550K)

The Nautical plan is 1,750 square feet, still 3 bedrooms and 2.5 baths with a 1-car garage, but it adds a dedicated flex room. This is the plan I’d point most work-from-home buyers toward. An extra 200 square feet doesn’t sound like much until it’s a real, closable room you can put a desk in instead of working from a kitchen table or a corner of the primary bedroom.

If you’re relocating for a remote or hybrid job, which describes a large share of the buyers moving into South Florida from the Northeast and Midwest right now, the Nautical is the plan that actually accounts for how you’ll use the house day to day.

Across both plans, the overall community range runs from about $451K on the low end up to $565K on the higher end depending on lot premiums and finish selections. Budget for the low $500s as your realistic all-in number if you want the flex room, and high $450s if you’re comfortable with the smaller Latitude II.

The Real Monthly Cost: HOA, CDD, and What’s Included

This is the section that actually separates a good review from a marketing page, so let’s do the math.

HOA: approximately $199 per month. That fee includes high-speed internet, which is a detail worth pausing on. A lot of townhome and condo HOAs charge you separately for internet and cable, or don’t include it at all. Rolling internet into the HOA at Everton effectively knocks $60 to $80 off what you’d otherwise pay a provider directly, which brings the “real” HOA closer to $120 to $140 once you account for what you’re not paying elsewhere.

CDD: none. This is the number that actually matters most for long-term affordability, and it’s worth explaining why if you’re new to Florida real estate. A Community Development District (CDD) fee is a separate assessment, on top of your HOA, used to pay off bonds that financed the roads, utilities, and infrastructure inside a new community. CDD fees are typically baked into your property tax bill and can run anywhere from $100 to $400+ a month, and they don’t disappear when the amenities are finished. They can run for 20 to 30 years. A lot of the newer communities being built further west in Palm Beach County, and in parts of Broward, carry CDD debt as a matter of course. Everton not having one means your monthly housing cost is more predictable and, frankly, lower than a comparably priced home in a CDD community.

What this means in practice: if you’re comparing Everton against a similarly priced home in a CDD community, you need to add that CDD number back in before you compare apples to apples. A $480K home with a $250/month CDD is not cheaper than a $500K home with no CDD once you run the math over even a five-year hold.

I’d also point out the angle that makes new construction like Everton attractive relative to older Palm Beach County condos and townhomes right now: the ongoing fallout from Florida’s condo crisis, where older buildings are getting hit with structural inspection requirements and special assessments that have run well into six figures for individual owners. That risk doesn’t disappear with new construction, but it’s dramatically lower in a community built to current code with reserves funded from day one. For a buyer trying to avoid a surprise five-figure (or worse) assessment three years after closing, new construction with a clean, no-CDD HOA structure is a meaningfully safer bet.

Amenities: What You’re Actually Getting for $199 a Month

Everton is gated, which matters for buyers coming from areas where that’s a baseline expectation rather than a luxury. Inside the gates:

• A resort-style pool with a cabana, which functions as the community’s social hub
• A tot lot for younger kids

This is not a community with a clubhouse, fitness center, or resort-style amenity campus the way some of the larger master-planned communities in western Palm Beach County are built. That’s a deliberate tradeoff. Everton is a smaller-footprint townhome community, and the lower amenity load is part of why the HOA sits at $199 instead of $350 or $400. If you want a full amenity center with a gym and event space, you’ll pay for it somewhere, either in the HOA or the CDD. Everton skips both and keeps the amenities focused on what a townhome buyer actually uses day to day: the pool.

Who Everton Is Right For

Based on the actual numbers above, here’s who I’d point toward Everton:

First-time buyers or right-sizers who want new construction without a CDD. If your priority is predictable monthly costs and you don’t need a single-family footprint, the Latitude II at $458K is one of the more straightforward entry points into new construction in this part of Palm Beach County.

Remote and hybrid workers who need a real home office. The Nautical’s flex room solves a problem a lot of relocating buyers don’t think about until they’re already living in the house: where does the desk actually go. A closable flex room beats a kitchen-table setup every time.

Buyers relocating from higher-cost markets who want a gated, low-maintenance home close to West Palm Beach. If you’re coming from the Northeast or the Midwest and comparing Everton’s $458K to $565K range against what a comparable new build costs where you’re moving from, this is going to look like a genuine value, especially with internet included in the HOA.

Investors and buyers prioritizing predictable carrying costs. No CDD plus a modest HOA makes the math easier to model out over a five- to ten-year hold, whether you’re planning to live there or rent it.

Who Should Skip It

Buyers who need single-family square footage or a yard. Everton is townhomes, 1,550 to 1,750 square feet, with a 1-car garage. If you need four bedrooms, a two-car garage, or actual yard space for kids or pets, this isn’t the community. Look instead at single-family new construction like Solterra in Sunrise or the larger single-family plans at Marigold in Davie, both of which run bigger footprints for buyers who’ve outgrown a townhome.

Buyers who want a full amenity campus. If a clubhouse, fitness center, or resort-style amenity package is a must-have, Everton’s pool-and-cabana setup will feel thin. That’s a fair reason to look elsewhere.

Buyers set on being west of the Turnpike for lower price points. Everton’s location east of the Turnpike is part of what keeps it commute-friendly, but it also means it won’t be the cheapest per-square-foot option in the county. Buyers chasing the absolute lowest price point, and willing to trade commute time for it, may find more square footage per dollar further west.

How Everton Compares to Other New Construction in Palm Beach County

Context matters here, because “$458K to $565K” doesn’t mean much in isolation. Compare it to a few other communities I’ve profiled:

• Agave Boca in Boca Raton is pre-launching from $1.3M, aimed at a completely different buyer, move-up or luxury relocators wanting a Boca address specifically.
• Parkland Royale in Parkland runs $1.16M to $1.47M, single-family, Broward’s top school district corridor. Different budget, different priority (schools over commute).
• Solterra in Sunrise starts around $544K, single-family in Broward, a useful comparison point if you’re weighing “townhome in Palm Beach County” against “single-family in Broward” at a similar price.

Everton’s real competitive position is as the lower-cost, no-CDD entry point for Palm Beach County new construction east of the Turnpike. There isn’t much else at this price point this close to West Palm Beach right now, which is exactly why Pulte is marketing the “math of Everton” so directly.

Buying Process: Working With the Builder vs Bringing Your Own Agent

One thing worth knowing before you visit the models: the on-site sales team at Everton works for Pulte, not for you. They’re required to disclose that, but it’s easy to forget once you’re standing in a beautifully staged model home. Their job is to sell you the home at the best terms for the builder.

You’re allowed to bring your own buyer’s agent to a new construction purchase, and it costs you nothing extra. The builder pays the commission either way. What changes is who’s reviewing the contract, negotiating upgrades and closing cost credits, and flagging things like the HOA structure or lot placement before you’re locked in. If you’re seriously considering Everton, register your agent on your first visit, before you sign anything or even give your name at the model.

You can see current floor plans, pricing, and site details on Everton’s own community page, and browse the rest of the new construction communities we track across Broward, Miami-Dade, and Palm Beach County if you want to compare Everton against other active communities before deciding.

Bottom Line

Everton in Lantana does what it says on the sign: new construction townhomes from the high $450s, a $199 HOA that includes internet, and no CDD, in a location close enough to I-95 and the Turnpike to make a West Palm Beach commute reasonable. It’s not going to be the right fit if you need single-family space or a full amenity package, but for a buyer prioritizing predictable monthly costs, a real home office option, and proximity to West Palm Beach without coastal pricing, it’s one of the more honest values in new construction right now in this part of Palm Beach County.

If you’re comparing Everton against other communities, or want a second set of eyes on a contract before you sign with the builder’s team, that’s exactly the kind of conversation worth having before you put down a deposit, not after.
