Spec builds in Boca Raton and Lotus Palm tend to move when they show coastal-contemporary lines. In Royal Palm Yacht & CC, buyers linger longer over dock frontage and glass-wall square footage.
West of 441 you’ll find master-planned tracts—four-bed specs from the mid-$700s with three-car garages and HOA-mowed yards. East of Federal it’s custom tear-downs: 1960s ranch out, 5,000-sq-ft modern in—often $3 million-plus when they back a canal. Country-club rebuilds (Broken Sound, Woodfield) skew Mediterranean roofs to match legacy stock, while Lotus Palm and Alina lean glassy minimalist. Walkability is strongest downtown near Alina, but most new-home clusters stay car-reliant; schools and flood zones vary, so check maps before you stake the lot.
Most local builders ask 10% at contract, another 10% at slab. Custom coastal lots can hit 30% before framing.
Production builders west of 441 quote 10–12 months. East-side customs take 16 months or more once permits clear.
Spec homes offer cosmetic choices—cabinets, flooring, paint. Full customs let you shift walls, but Architectural Review Boards inside clubs must sign off.
Anything east of Federal Highway usually falls in a flood zone; lenders will require coverage even on raised foundations.
Yes. Palm Beach County impact fees hit the builder up front and roll into your closing price—no surprise invoices after you move in.
