We don’t have a name yet but we have a lot more information about the new GL Homes development that will replace the Boca Municipal Golf Course.
The new development, next to the Turnpike and north of Glades Road, will include 564 homes in 5 subdivisions along with a 4-acre clubhouse and recreation area and 11 lakes.
New documents filed earlier this week shed a lot more light on what’s coming. Full details below for paid subscribers.
Four of the subdivisions in what are now called Pods A, B, D, and E, will be all or nearly all zero-lot-line homes. That means they’ll be very close together.
Pod C appears to be the premium subdivision. All homes in Pod C will have larger lots and presumably more expensive homes. The map layout suggests that all or nearly of these will have lake views.
Pods A and B are the two largest and will be up against the Turnpike. Road noise could reduce home values in these sections. Those two and Pod D will all have roughly the same density of about 3.6 homes per acre. Pod E will be more dense with more than 4.2 homes per acre, though there will be 3 homes in the “SF” type that means larger lot sizes. But that’s only 3.
Based on what we see here with so many zero lot line homes, we predict that the new development will be more like GL’s Dakota and Lotus communities than like the higher end Bridges and Seven Bridges.
It is a valuable location closer to the Turnpike, shopping, and restaurants so we expect prices will be higher than Dakota or Lotus.
And of course this will have a substantial negative impact on Glades Road traffic.
