Living in The Bridges

Before Seven Bridges and Boca Bridges existed, there was The Bridges: the community where GL Homes first proved, in the early 2010s, that the Lyons Road corridor could deliver country club amenities through a simple HOA. Around 580 homes in a more traditional, Mediterranean-leaning style, with landscaping that a decade of Florida sun has made gloriously mature.

The clubhouse formula that later became famous started here: restaurant and bar, resort pools, tennis, fitness, an indoor sports court and a social calendar run by a lifestyle director. Everything works, everything is settled, and nothing carries the premium of being the newest thing on the road.

That is exactly its role in the corridor today: for buyers who want these schools, these amenities and this location without paying newest-generation prices, The Bridges is frequently the smartest door to knock on, with HOA fees typically under about $800 per month.

Lourdes's first-hand experience

Lourdes has closed leases and represented buyers throughout this exact corridor, including its flagship Seven Bridges next door, and she wrote the honest comparison of the three sisters that you can read on the blog. Her take on The Bridges is consistent: mature, settled and often the best value per square foot of the three. She will tell you when that is true for a specific home, and when it is not.

Schools and location

The Bridges sits on Lyons Road in West Delray Beach, minutes from Delray Marketplace and its sister communities. Families are typically zoned for well-rated Palm Beach County public schools; zoning is assigned by exact address and Lourdes confirms it for every home you consider.

Frequently asked questions

How is The Bridges different from Seven Bridges?

Age and flavor. The Bridges came first, with more traditional styling and generally more accessible pricing; Seven Bridges followed with the famous 13-court tennis center and restaurant. Same builder, same corridor, different generation.

Is there a club membership?

No. Like all GL Homes communities on the corridor, amenities are funded through the HOA, with no equity or initiation fee.

Is it a good rental market?

The corridor's rental demand is strong across all three sisters, and The Bridges' lower entry prices can make the math attractive. Lourdes, who has leased repeatedly in the corridor, can run realistic numbers for any specific home.

HOA fees, prices and availability are approximate, change over time and are provided for orientation only. School zoning is assigned by address by the Palm Beach County School District and must be confirmed for each specific home. Lourdes will verify all current figures for any property you're interested in.
