The neighborhood
Lotus is a guard-gated, single-family community in West Boca Raton built by GL Homes and sold out around 2019, with roughly 805 luxury homes in the Bali and Fiji Collections. It sits west of the Florida Turnpike off Glades Road in the Lyons Road corridor, with addresses in the 33496 and 33434 ZIP codes.
The community is now a resale market: 2025-2026 resales generally ran from about $1.4 million to $3.2 million, with a median sold price near $1.9 million and top upgraded homes above $4 million.
Lotus was the first of a wave of GL Homes communities on the corridor, so its streets are established, its landscaping is mature for its age, and its resale record is the deepest of the group. The current new-construction phase on the same corridor is Lotus Edge.
Buyers compare Lotus against Lotus Palm, the neighboring Seven Bridges, and newer corridor inventory; the differences are lot, era, and price per square foot.
