Polo Trace Homes for Sale in Delray Beach, FL

Homes in Polo Trace

One of the things that makes Polo Trace different is the mix of older and newer construction.

The original sections include homes developed primarily during the 1990s and early 2000s, while the newer portions of the community include GL Homes residences built following the redevelopment of the former golf course.

That gives buyers the opportunity to compare different floor plans, home sizes, renovation levels and architectural styles within the same gated community. Newer GL Homes resales may also offer features such as impact glass, contemporary open layouts and newer building systems, while established homes can offer different lot locations and opportunities for renovation.

Lake views and private pools can also be found throughout portions of Polo Trace.

Clubhouse & Resort-Style Amenities

At the center of Polo Trace is an approximately 26,000-square-foot clubhouse surrounded by more than seven acres of recreational amenities.

Residents have access to an on-site restaurant, fitness center, social hall, card rooms, game and billiards areas, yoga spaces and indoor gathering areas.

Outdoor amenities include resort-style swimming, a spa, playground, basketball and nearly two miles of walking and biking paths.

Polo Trace has an active racquet sports program with:

6 lighted clay tennis courts
4 lighted pickleball courts
2 lighted bocce courts

The Polo Trace Racquet Club currently offers organized tennis, pickleball and bocce programming in addition to recreational play.

Location

Polo Trace is located off Hagen Ranch Road in West Delray Beach, north of Atlantic Avenue.

The community is convenient to shopping, restaurants, medical facilities and Florida’s Turnpike, while Downtown Delray Beach, Atlantic Avenue and the beach remain accessible to the east.

Daisy’s Perspective

What I think makes Polo Trace especially interesting is that buyers can get a resort-style community experience without having to join a country club.

I would also compare the original and newer sections carefully. The age, floor plans, lot locations and upgrades can be quite different, so two homes at a similar price may not really be comparable.

Frequently Asked Questions About Polo Trace

And here is where we’re changing our approach:

Does Polo Trace require a golf or country club membership?

No. Polo Trace no longer has a golf course and does not require a country club membership. Residents have access to the community’s clubhouse, restaurant, pools, fitness center, racquet facilities and other HOA amenities without purchasing a separate golf membership.

Are all the homes in Polo Trace the same age?

No. This is one of the more important things buyers should understand about Polo Trace. The community includes established homes from the original development as well as 320 newer residences developed by GL Homes after the former golf course was redeveloped. Buyers should compare age, construction, upgrades and lot location when evaluating homes.

What should I compare when choosing between an older and newer Polo Trace home?

Beyond price and square footage, I would compare roof and major-system age, impact protection, interior renovations, lot location, views, floor plan and outdoor living space. A newer home may offer more contemporary construction and finishes, while an established home may offer a location or lot you prefer.

What does the Polo Trace HOA cover?

HOA coverage can include community security, common-area maintenance and access to recreational amenities, while some listings indicate additional services depending on the property. Because HOA fees and inclusions can change, buyers should review the current HOA budget, fee schedule and governing documents for the specific home before purchasing. Recent MLS data confirms common-area maintenance, recreation facilities and security among association services.

How close is Polo Trace to Florida’s Turnpike and Downtown Delray Beach?

Polo Trace is located off Hagen Ranch Road in West Delray Beach, with convenient access to Florida’s Turnpike via Atlantic Avenue. Downtown Delray Beach and the beach are farther east along the Atlantic Avenue corridor, making Polo Trace a practical option for buyers who want a gated West Delray setting while still being able to reach downtown.

Can I find lakefront homes or homes with private pools in Polo Trace?
