D.R. Horton Announces New Communities In Palm Beach County and the Treasure Coast


D.R. Horton, America’s Builder, recently announced the opening of six southeast Florida residential communities, as part of their commitment to offering affordable quality homes throughout Florida.

The company’s philosophy of creating value every step of the way was its signature focus when Horton unveiled his first neighborhood in the Dallas/Ft. Worth area over three decades ago. As D.R. Horton grew from a local homebuilder, to a regional homebuilder, to ultimately the largest homebuilder in the United States (as ranked by Builder Magazine), that philosophy has never wavered. 

In the Treasure Coast region, D.R. Horton has announced two new residential communities, River Place in Port St. Lucie and Windemere At The Pines in Jensen Beach.

River Place is a 293-acre master planned community of single-family homes where native wilderness preserves and dense oak hammocks establish an "Old Florida" lifestyle. 113 acres of River Place is dedicated to open, natural preserves, which are threaded by almost 2 miles of nature trails, woodlands and wetlands. River Place is situated on the North Fork of the St. Lucie River, an acclaimed fishing retreat, and prices start at just $149,990 for a three-bedroom, two-bath home with a two-car garage.

At Windemere At The Pines, six different single-family home designs are available, each featuring a two-car garage. With floor plans of up to five bedrooms, these residences are perfect for homebuyers looking for the best of the active Florida lifestyle in family-friendly Jensen Beach. Prices for a single-family home loaded with today’s most desired finishes and features start at just $249,990.

In Palm Beach County, only minutes from Florida's Turnpike for easy commuting, Whispering Woods, a beautiful community of single-family homes near The Mall at Wellington Green, is now open. Prices start at just $274,990 for a four-bedroom, two-bath home with a two-car garage.

With a wide array of amenities including tennis and swimming, D.R. Horton brings style, sophistication, and luxury to Equus, one of Palm Beach County’s finest communities. Equus features a state of the art Equestrian center adjacent to the property (non-affiliated), which offers riding lessons, training and agricultural activities. Nearby, a neighborhood-style shopping plaza offers convenient shopping, banking, restaurants, and boutiques all within minutes of Equus. Five impressive models are available, ranging from 3,019 to 4,345 square feet, and priced from $439,990.

Lyons Ranches in Boynton Beach is an enclave of just 15 homes offering new single-family homes priced from $269,990. Since this is a very limited opportunity, homebuyers who are interested in Lyons Ranches are encouraged to act immediately.

Azura is a collection of new townhomes conveniently located in Greenacres, off Jog Road between Hypoluxo and Gateway just minutes from Florida’s Turnpike and close to the Palm Beach International airport.  Schools are within walking distance, and all exceptionally rated. With sizes up to 1,680 square feet the Azura townhome collection represents a wonderful option for value-minded homebuyers, and a gorgeous new model is ready for inspection.
