Gated Luxury Community
A guarded community of luxury estate homes on the Delray Beach border
Living in The Bridges
The Bridges is a private, gated community of luxury single-family homes within the city of Delray Beach, Florida, on the border with Boca Raton. Developed by GL Homes beginning in 2012, it pairs resort-style amenities and lakeside landscaping with some of the newest estate homes in this market, all minutes from the dining and beaches of downtown Delray.
The Bridges sits on the east side of Lyons Road, between Atlantic Avenue and Clint Moore Road, on the Delray Beach side of the Delray and Boca border. The community is fully gated with a guarded entrance and 24-hour security, offering the privacy and comfort that draw many buyers to South Florida's luxury communities. Lakes and waterfalls weave through the community's roughly 299 acres of tropical landscaping, so the setting feels resort-like from the moment you pass the gatehouse.
GL Homes built The Bridges between 2012 and 2015, and its roughly 590 one- and two-story estate homes are among the newest of their kind in the area. Floor plans span from about 2,400 to more than 7,500 square feet with three to six bedrooms, spread across eight subdivisions within the community, so buyers have genuine choice in layout, size, and lot.
Resort-style amenities anchor daily life here. A clubhouse of more than 17,000 square feet hosts dining and social events, a resort-style pool and spa sit under cabanas, and the fitness center, tennis and pickleball courts, and basketball courts keep residents active without leaving the gates. Children have their own waterpark and playroom, and downtown Delray's Atlantic Avenue, with its acclaimed restaurants, galleries, and the beach, is only minutes away.
The Bridges is served by the School District of Palm Beach County. Schools zoned for the community include Whispering Pines Elementary, Eagles Landing Middle School, and Olympic Heights Community High School, known for its Choice academies. The current assignment for a specific address appears on the district's maps.
