Layton Pointe & Delray Trails: New Construction in Delray Beach Reviewed
Delray Beach has two significant active new-construction communities right now, serving very different buyer profiles. Here’s what you need to know about each.
Layton Pointe: Toll Brothers, $1.38M-$1.68M
Layton Pointe is built on the site of a former monastery in east Delray Beach, a gated single-family community delivering October 2026. Toll Brothers is one of the most established luxury production builders in the country; the quality and finish level reflect a $1.38M+ price point. The location is exceptional for east Delray, close to Atlantic Avenue’s walkable core while being gated and private. This is for the buyer who wants new construction with a downtown Delray lifestyle at a luxury price point.
Delivery is October 2026, which means buyers closing now are doing so with a several-month wait. The Toll Brothers contract is detailed and comprehensive, have an attorney and an experienced buyer’s agent review it before you sign.
Delray Trails - The Villas: Lennar, $452K-$488K
Delray Trails’ Villa product is for 55+ buyers who want new construction at an accessible price point with active lifestyle amenities. Single-story villas, pickleball courts, resort-style amenities, and Lennar’s standard production quality at $452K-$488K. Lennar actively selling now.
The 55+ designation means the community has age qualification requirements, at least one resident must be 55+ and the community restricts permanent occupancy under 18. This is a meaningfully different purchase than a standard community, and the resale market reflects the 55+ buyer pool.
Which Is Right For You?
If you’re under 55, want new construction, and can stretch to $1.38M+, Layton Pointe. If you’re 55+, want new construction, and the $452K-$488K price point fits, Delray Trails Villas. If neither matches your situation, the Delray resale market has options at various price points.
