Amenities include a pool, golf course and rec center

Lucerne Lakes is a primarily 55-plus neighborhood, with select sections open to residents of all ages, and with all that the community has to offer, it’s no secret why anyone might want to live there. “It’s tons of amenities for a reasonable price. There’s a rec center, a pool and a golf course,” says Michele Yarber, a real estate agent with Century 21 WC Realty. Since amenities and property exteriors are managed by the homeowners association, residents get to spend less time on maintenance and more time relaxing. And whatever’s not in the neighborhood is close by, cutting down on the need for travel: “There’s a lot there. It’s right off Lake Worth Road, which is a hub of shops and restaurants,” Yarber adds.
