A dozen gated neighborhoods
With homes in the millions, most of the housing choices in the West Delray neighborhood in Delray Beach will come from one of 12 gated communities. “It’s a higher-end area and very desirable,” says Keith Dickman, a Realtor with RE/MAX Direct, who lives in one of the communities and produces a free magazine for around 7,000 homes in the area eight times a year. “It’s a growing area as they’re building new communities next to each other.”
Many homes in the Lotus community of West Delray offer terracotta roofs and manicured lawns.
West Delray is divided between many subdivisions like Santuria Isles.

Chock full of amenities
Each of the dozen gated communities, of which only a few are 55-plus, has a clubhouse with amenities, including a fitness center and tennis and pickleball courts. Each one also has a Homeowners Association that provides lawn maintenance. A monthly fee is around $1,000. “Most every house is over a million dollars. You could count on one hand the number of homes that are under a million,” Dickman says. “They can go as high as 6.5 to 7 million, but the majority are between 1.5 and 2.5 million.” Eight of the 12 communities have homes built by the same builder. The homes between 10 and 20 years old are Mediterranean style, but the more modern homes have more of a contemporary style. “Houses are selling in what I consider a pre-COVID regular Florida market,” Dickman says. “You’re not getting seven offers in the first three minutes, but if you have a great product at the right price, it will sell quickly.” The oldest homes were built in the early 2000s, and 88% of those living in West Delray are homeowners.
Lotus offer luxury amenities to its residents like a clubhouse, tennis and pickle ball courts.

Neighborhood magazine
Currently, Dickman produces a real estate magazine for nine of the 12 gated communities in West Delray, but there could be plans to do the remaining three at some point. “Some of the content is specialized for each neighborhood—for example, there’s a spotlight interview of somebody who lives in the neighborhood,” Dickman says. A recent issue featured an interview with an NBA referee who lives in the Lotus community, which was mailed to residents living in the Lotus, Lotus Palm and Lotus Edge neighborhoods. The magazine is free, mailed out eight times a year, and includes real estate listings.
Activities outside the gated communities
When it’s time to explore the options outside the gated community, West Delray Regional Park is a massive natural area with niche recreational activities. The Delray Beach Mountain Bike Trail is considered one of the best in South Florida, challenging mountain bikers with turns, rocks, mounds and tree roots to navigate. The Gold Coast Archery Club has ranges in the area, including a field course and 3-D practice range. Radio-controlled enthusiasts flock to the radio-controlled airplane field, boat lake and oval track. There are also equestrian trails that run through the park for the horse enthusiast.
RC Airplane enthusiasts can practice their skilss in the West Delray Regional RC Airfield.

Restaurants and shopping are very close
At the corner of Lyons Road and Atlantic Avenue, close to all the gated communities, is Delray Marketplace, which provides grocery shopping, plenty of options for a meal and a large movie theater to catch the latest blockbuster. Burt & Max’s offers pub food classics and a lively bar. The open-air shopping center has close to 50 stores, including Ann Taylor Loft, a luxury furniture store and a Publix grocery store. Every Wednesday from October through April, the amphitheater at the shopping center has live music from 6 to 8 p.m. You’re encouraged to bring your own chair and blanket.
