The community in brief

Lotus at a glance.

Lotus is a guard-gated, all-contemporary single-family community of roughly 804 homes in West Boca Raton (ZIP 33434), just north of Clint Moore Road off Lyons Road, built by GL Homes from about 2018 and now sold out. It is the original of the Lotus family, with Lotus Palm at Glades Road and the newer Lotus Edge following it. Buyers come for the modern floor plans, lakefront lots, and a resort-style clubhouse that anchors the social scene.

Location & boundaries

North of Clint Moore, east of Lyons

Lotus sits just north of Clint Moore Road and east of Lyons Road in West Boca Raton (ZIP 33434), near the Delray Beach border. Clint Moore Road connects east to Jog Road and west to State Road 7/441, and Lyons Road runs north-south through the corridor. The community has a single 24-hour manned gated entrance.

Architecture & character

Contemporary product, resort clubhouse

GL Homes' contemporary collection: one- and two-story plans with modern elevations, lakes and preserved green space, HOA-maintained lawns, and wide streets in a newer master-planned style. The clubhouse pool and fitness package gives the community resort energy without a golf membership, and the sold-out status means the architecture is consistent and the resale standardized.
