Polo Trace gives buyers country club-level amenities
The Polo Trace neighborhood in Delray Beach offers residents country club living without being a golf club member. Polo Trace was established in the 1990s as a golf course community, but developer GL Homes acquired the course and developed more housing. Homebuyers can expect the gated community to have smaller lawns and private pools, with most backyards facing out onto artificial lakes while palm trees accent the properties. The 26,000-square-foot clubhouse gives residents access to a community pool and other services. “Polo Trace is like a country club without the fees,” says Moris Rafailov, a Realtor with Coldwell Banker Commercial Realty who sells in the area. “It has basically every single amenity that a county club has, and that’s a big attraction.”
Mediterranean-style homes with an HOA
Older homes built in the 1990s can cost between $600,000 to $900,000, while newer construction from the 2020s can cost between $1 million and $1.5 million. The dominant home styles include single-story Mediterranean revivals and New Traditionals. HOA fees vary by property but are over $600 and provide landscaping, cable and internet.
While hurricanes can be a factor, Rafailov says homes are constructed with hurricane-impact windows and shutters. Maps from Palm Beach County do not show any flooding risks. The area is also near a water treatment plant and a small aerodrome, but Rafailov says the area does not encounter any noises or smells. The neighborhood also has a CAP Index Crime Score of 2 out of 10, lower than the national average of 4.
Most homes in Polo Trace are single-story and feature double garages.
