Delray Beach
Village charm, Atlantic Avenue energy and resort communities out west
Delray Beach runs on two speeds: the walkable, buzzing downtown around Atlantic Avenue near the ocean, and the western corridor along Lyons Road, where GL Homes built some of Palm Beach County's best resort-style gated communities. Most luxury family buyers end up out west, more house, more amenities, top schools, while keeping downtown and the beach fifteen minutes away.
Lourdes works this corridor constantly, with multiple leases and purchases closed in its flagship community, Seven Bridges.
America's 'Village by the Sea'
Downtown Delray is the personality of the city: Atlantic Avenue's restaurants and galleries, the Pineapple Grove arts district, and one of Florida's most loved public beaches two blocks away. East-side inventory mixes historic cottages, townhomes and luxury condos, small, walkable and always in demand.
Head west along Atlantic and the scenery changes to lakes and gates: The Bridges, Seven Bridges, Addison Reserve, Mizner Country Club and Polo Trace line the Lyons Road corridor, with Delray Marketplace as the daily shopping-and-dining hub. This is where the big family homes and the resort amenities are.
Who chooses Delray
Buyers who want energy: it's the county's dining-and-social capital, popular with younger luxury families and seasonal residents alike. And investors take note, demand for annual and seasonal rentals in the western communities is consistently strong, a market Lourdes knows first-hand from her repeated leases in Seven Bridges.
