Lakes of Delray: 1,400 condos
and a community bus system.

The Transportation Question Nobody Asks

Most 55+ community marketing assumes you will drive forever. At Lakes of Delray, the community bus provides an alternative. Scheduled routes to supermarkets, pharmacies, medical offices, and shopping centers mean residents who stop driving do not become isolated. For single retirees or couples where one partner no longer drives, this is not a nice-to-have — it is a deciding factor.

Community Structure

Lakes of Delray is a gated condo community with approximately 1,400 units. The HOA covers common area maintenance, clubhouse access, security, and the bus transit program. Amenities include pools, a fitness center, card rooms, and a full activities calendar with a dedicated director. The community is large enough to support a vibrant social life but organized around a single clubhouse rather than the multi-facility model of Kings Point or Century Village.

Pricing

Entry-level condos start around $100K. Updated units with lake views or preferred locations can reach $250K–$300K. The pricing is competitive with Palm Greens and Las Verdes in the same Delray Beach corridor. All are in the "legacy condo" tier but Lakes of Delray distinguishes itself with the transit amenity.

SB 4-D Considerations

As a condo community with buildings 30+ years old, SB 4-D requirements apply. Reserve studies and milestone inspections are required. Ask about reserve fund status, pending special assessments, and the specific building inspection results for any unit you are considering.
