Frequently Asked Questions
- Does The Bridges have a mandatory club membership?
- No. The Bridges has no golf course and no equity or social membership requirement. The clubhouse, restaurant, pool, courts, and gate are funded through the homeowners association, so the HOA fee on a listing is the recurring cost to plan around, along with property taxes and insurance.
- Who built The Bridges and when?
- GL Homes built The Bridges, with construction running from about 2012 to 2016. The community holds 591 single-family homes in eight sections, which is why the MLS files listings under Bridges PL 1 through 8. It sits on Lyons Road in west Delray Beach beside Seven Bridges, the builder's newer community.
- How big are the homes in The Bridges?
- Homes in current listings run from about 2,460 to 7,500 square feet, with three to six bedrooms. Every home is a detached single-family residence; there are no condos or townhomes. Roughly half of the recent listings sit on lake lots, and most of the larger plans have private pools.
- What amenities does The Bridges clubhouse have?
- The clubhouse is over 17,000 square feet and includes a restaurant with an outdoor patio, a fitness complex, and the community's social rooms. Outside are a resort-style pool and spa, a tennis center with a pro shop, pickleball, and children's play areas.
- How far is The Bridges from the beach and downtown Delray?
- The Bridges sits on Lyons Road just west of Florida's Turnpike. Downtown Delray Beach, Atlantic Avenue, and the public beach are roughly 20 minutes east by car, and downtown Boca Raton is about 20 minutes south. Palm Beach International Airport is about 35 minutes away and Fort Lauderdale-Hollywood about 45.
- Is The Bridges on the water?
- The Bridges is an inland community, but many of its lots back onto the community lakes, and lake-view homes make up about half of recent listings. There is no Intracoastal or ocean access and no boat dockage, so the water here is a view and a setting rather than a boating amenity.
- What schools serve The Bridges?
- Current MLS listings in The Bridges are zoned for Whispering Pines Elementary, Eagles Landing Middle, and Olympic Heights High. School boundaries can change, so confirm the assignment for a specific address with the Palm Beach County School District before you buy.
- What do homes in The Bridges sell for?
- As of September 2026, the 43 closed sales in our MLS feed since July 2025 have a median closed price of about $1.72 million, with an average of 61 days from listing to contract. Current asking prices run higher, with a median list price around $2.1 million, so the gap between asking and closed prices is worth watching when you write an offer. Pool homes on lake lots set the top of the range.
- How does The Bridges compare to Seven Bridges next door?
- Both are gated GL Homes communities on Lyons Road with resort clubhouses and no mandatory club membership. The Bridges came first, with 591 homes and a 17,000-square-foot clubhouse; Seven Bridges followed with about 700 homes, a larger 30,000-square-foot clubhouse, and newer construction. The Bridges currently lists at a lower median price, so buyers who want the corridor at the lower entry point start here.
- How many homes are for sale in The Bridges?
- There are 12 active listings for sale in The Bridges right now, and these counts update from the MLS as homes come on the market and go under contract. The most expensive listing asks about 3 times the least expensive, so budgets vary widely within The Bridges. Ask us to set up a search alert and you will see new The Bridges listings the day they reach the market.
- What is the median home price in The Bridges?
- The median list price in The Bridges is $2,235,450, or roughly $561 per square foot. The median is the midpoint of what is currently listed, so about half of The Bridges homes ask more and half ask less, within a broader range of $1,465,000 to $4,450,000. The median sits near the middle of that range, so The Bridges inventory is spread fairly evenly rather than bunched at one end. We can pull recent comparable sales to price a specific home more precisely.
- What price range do homes in The Bridges cover?
- Homes for sale in The Bridges currently range from about $1,465,000 at the entry level to $4,450,000 at the top of the market. That spread reflects lot size, square footage, and finish level across the single-family homes here, with the median list price around $2,235,450. The spread is moderate, so there is real choice here without the extremes some markets show. Tell us your budget and must-haves and we will send the The Bridges listings that actually fit.
- How long do homes take to sell in The Bridges?
- Homes in The Bridges are averaging 36 days on market, measured from the day a listing goes live to the day it goes under contract. That is a brisk pace, close to what a balanced South Florida market looks like, so a sharply priced home rarely lingers. Days on market in The Bridges also shift with the season and with how a home is priced, so a sharply priced listing can still sell well ahead of the average.
- Is The Bridges a gated community?
- Yes. The Bridges is a gated community with controlled access at the entrance.
- Are there lakefront homes in The Bridges?
- Yes. Many The Bridges homes back onto community lakes, and lake-view lots are common in current listings. The water here is inland lake frontage rather than Intracoastal or ocean access, so do not expect navigable water or boat dockage.
About The Bridges
The Bridges, Delray Beach, FL, is a gated community in Palm Beach County with 12 homes for sale right now. The Bridges is a GL Homes gated community of 591 single-family homes on Lyons Road in west Delray Beach, built from about 2012 to 2016 beside its newer sister community, Seven Bridges. Life centers on a 17,000-square-foot clubhouse with a restaurant and patio, a fitness complex, a pool and spa, and a tennis center with a pro shop and pickleball. There is no golf course and no mandatory club membership.
The Bridges is a GL Homes community of 591 single-family homes on Lyons Road in west Delray Beach, built from about 2012 to 2016 across eight sections. The MLS files most of its listings under the plat names Bridges PL 1 through 8, so a search on the community name alone misses part of the inventory on other sites. Homes in current listings run from about 2,460 to 7,500 square feet with three to six bedrooms, and roughly half of the lots back onto the community's lakes. Pricing sits a step below Seven Bridges next door and well below Boca Bridges, which makes The Bridges the entry point to the GL Homes corridor between Delray Beach and Boca Raton.
The cost structure is the same one that draws buyers to the whole corridor. There is no golf course and no equity or social membership to buy, so the recurring cost is the HOA, property taxes, and insurance. The HOA funds the clubhouse and its restaurant, the staffed gate, and the common-area landscaping, and the HOA figure on any listing is the number to underwrite. The homes are now ten to fourteen years old, which puts roofs and air handlers in the range where inspectors and insurers start paying attention, so ask for the ages of both and get insurance quotes before the inspection period ends.
The Bridges suits families and full-time residents who want the GL Homes clubhouse lifestyle at the lowest entry price the corridor offers. The clubhouse programming, the tennis center, and the zoned schools all point at households with children at home, and the slightly older housing stock means more homes with the first owners' upgrades already done. Sellers benefit from a consistent product: buyers comparing two homes of the same floor plan are comparing lot, view, pool, and the renovations since 2016, so pricing against the community's own recent closings is more precise than a county-wide number. Pure Equity tracks every closing here, including the ones filed under the Bridges PL plat names.
The sales record is deep enough to price from. As of September 2026 our MLS feed holds 43 closed sales in The Bridges since July 2025, with a median closed price of about $1.72 million and an average of 61 days from listing to contract. Thirty-two of those 43 homes had a private pool and 22 sat on a lake lot, which is why the pool-and-lake combination sets the top of the range and a dry interior lot without a pool sets the bottom. The eleven homes listed at the time of writing ask a median of $2.1 million, or about $495 per square foot, and three more are under contract. That puts The Bridges at roughly $60 per square foot below Seven Bridges and well under half of Boca Bridges on a per-foot basis, which is the clearest way to see where it sits in the corridor.
Because the homes date from 2012 to 2016, the inspection period matters more here than in the newer Bridges communities. A four-point inspection and a wind-mitigation report are what insurers ask for on a home past its tenth year, and both turn on the same items: roof age and condition, the age of the air handlers and condensers, water heaters, and whether the openings are impact-rated or covered by shutters. Most homes here were built with impact glass, but confirm it on the specific house rather than assuming it. On the association side, ask for the budget, the reserve study, and any pending assessment before the inspection period ends, and read the rental and leasing rules if a future tenant is part of the plan. The eight sections were platted separately, so a title search will reference Bridges PL 1 through 8 rather than the community name, which is normal and not a sign of a problem.

Market & Value
The Bridges market and home values
The The Bridges real estate market reads best through the community's own recent activity, not a county-wide average. The median list price in The Bridges is around $2,235,450, or roughly $561 per square foot. That sits about 366% above the Palm Beach County median, which shows where The Bridges lands in the local market. Recent asking prices have run from $1,465,000 to $4,450,000, so the home you choose within The Bridges matters as much as the community average. Homes here have recently taken about 36 days to go under contract, a useful gauge of how quickly the The Bridges market is moving. For pricing an offer or a listing, comparable sales within The Bridges carry more weight than any headline number, since homes of the same type and size set the real range. Pure Equity can pull the active and recently sold homes in The Bridges so you work from real numbers, not an estimate.
How It Compares
The Bridges compared to nearby Delray Beach communities
The Bridges carries the highest median of the 7 Delray Beach communities compared here. Price per square foot is the fairer comparison between communities, because it adjusts for the fact that one neighborhood builds bigger homes than another. Days on market shows how quickly each one is actually selling.

Who It Suits
Is The Bridges right for you?
It helps to know who The Bridges tends to suit before you tour. The Bridges works well for families and professionals who want the security and quieter streets of a gated community, often near the schools, shopping, and commuting routes of Delray Beach. A lake view is a common ask here, since many The Bridges lots back onto water without the flood exposure of a coastal address. On price, The Bridges sits at the luxury end of the market, where buyers weigh the specific home, its finishes, and its setting closely. Whether The Bridges is right for you depends on how you plan to use the home, full time or seasonally, and Pure Equity can walk you through the tradeoffs before you commit.
Amenities & Lifestyle
Living in The Bridges
Daily life in The Bridges runs through the 17,000-square-foot clubhouse. It holds a restaurant with an outdoor patio, a fitness complex, and the social rooms that carry the community's event calendar, which a professional management company runs on the association's behalf along with the gate staff and the grounds. Outside are a resort-style pool and spa, a tennis center with a pro shop, and pickleball, with play areas for children. The gate is staffed around the clock, and the streets are laid out around a series of lakes, so lake-view lots are common and carry a premium on resale. There is no golf course; residents who want golf join one of the nearby clubs or use the public courses along the corridor. Seven Bridges shares the same road and the same builder, and the two communities are close enough that residents compare clubhouses over the fence.
Location
The Bridges location
The Bridges is on Lyons Road in west Delray Beach, just west of Florida's Turnpike, in unincorporated Palm Beach County with a Delray Beach mailing address. The Turnpike entrance at Atlantic Avenue is a few minutes away and puts I-95 about 15 minutes east. Downtown Delray Beach, Atlantic Avenue, and the public beach are roughly 20 minutes east, and downtown Boca Raton is about 20 minutes south. Delray Marketplace, at Atlantic and Lyons, covers groceries, dining, and a cinema a short drive from the gate. Palm Beach International Airport is about 35 minutes north and Fort Lauderdale-Hollywood about 45 minutes south. Seven Bridges is the neighboring GL Homes community on Lyons Road and Boca Bridges is a few minutes south, so buyers usually tour all three in one trip.
Buying in The Bridges
Buying a home in The Bridges
The buying process in The Bridges is the one used across Palm Beach County. Getting a mortgage pre-approval first tells you your real budget and lets you move quickly when the right home comes up. Ask for the association's governing documents, budget, and reserve study before you write an offer. Association fees, any club or membership costs, and rules on rentals, pets, and leasing vary by community and materially affect the true cost of ownership. Property taxes factor into the monthly payment: the median annual property tax in Palm Beach County is about $3,600. Florida's homestead exemption lowers the taxable value of a primary residence, and the Save Our Homes cap limits how fast that assessed value can rise from year to year. Budget for homeowners insurance as well. Rates in Florida reflect wind and flood exposure, so gather quotes early and check whether a specific address sits in a FEMA flood zone. Once you are under contract, plan for a home inspection and, if you are financing, a lender appraisal, both of which fall inside the inspection period. Working with an agent who knows Delray Beach means you see new listings in The Bridges the day they reach the market.
Selling in The Bridges
Selling a home in The Bridges
Selling a home in The Bridges starts with pricing it correctly for current conditions. List prices in The Bridges currently center around $2,235,450, which is a starting reference for where a comparable home might be positioned. Homes that are decluttered, professionally photographed, and priced to recent comparable sales tend to draw the most interest in the first two weeks, when a listing is newest and gets the most views. Buyers in an association community also want to see the HOA or condo docs, the reserve study, and any pending or special assessments up front, so having those ready before you list avoids delays once you are under contract. Florida sellers usually pay the documentary stamp tax on the deed, currently $0.70 per $100 of the sale price in most counties, along with prorated property taxes and, by local custom in many areas, the owner's title insurance policy. We provide a no-obligation home valuation for The Bridges owners in Delray Beach, so you can see what your property could sell for before you commit to listing.
Thinking of Selling?

Online estimates miss what makes a home different. Tell us about yours and a licensed listing agent will send you a pricing opinion based on what has actually closed near you in The Bridges.
Listing agents and seller representation in The Bridges
Thinking about selling in The Bridges? The agent you pick shapes two numbers: what your home closes for, and how long it takes. A listing agent, also called a seller's agent, prices the property against what has actually closed nearby. They also prepare and market it, screen the offers that arrive, and negotiate the terms rather than just the price.
Conditions in The Bridges currently favor sellers, which is exactly when overpricing does the most damage. A strong market still punishes a listing that starts too high, because the early weeks draw the most qualified buyers and a home that goes stale invites lower offers later. Homes here are averaging about 36 days from listing to accepted offer, so build that into your moving timeline.
Community-level detail matters most here. Association rules, what the fees cover, and which buildings sell fastest all affect your outcome. So does whether a buyer needs board approval before closing. None of it appears in a listing description. All of it decides whether a sale closes on time.
Pure Equity is a licensed Florida brokerage serving The Bridges. Onias Derilus is the broker of record, Florida Real Estate Broker license BK3276618. A broker holds a higher license than an agent working under one. In practice that means the person advising you on price is also the one legally responsible for the file. That matters most when a deal gets complicated.

Realtors and real estate agents serving The Bridges
People search for realtors, real estate agents, and real estate brokers more or less interchangeably. For most purposes the job title matters less than licensing and representation. Every licensed agent in Florida works under a broker. That broker carries final responsibility for the transaction.
What separates real estate professionals in The Bridges is specificity. Can they answer questions about your street, not just your city? Ask what they have closed nearby and how they arrived at a price. A grounded answer cites particular recent sales. It also explains why those homes compare to yours. Vague reassurance is the warning sign.

Buyer's agents in The Bridges
A buyer's agent represents the purchaser rather than the owner. They identify properties that actually fit and research what comparable homes sold for, not what they asked. They also advise on offer strategy. Finally, they manage inspection and financing deadlines through to closing.
Where sellers hold leverage, as they do in The Bridges, buyers often get one chance to put a well-structured offer forward, so preparation counts more than patience. If you are buying and selling at the same time, which is common for people moving within Palm Beach County, sequencing the two is its own skill: contingencies, timing, and what happens if one closing slips all need planning before either home goes on the market.
What representation costs
Real estate commissions are negotiable. No law, multiple listing service, or association sets them. If an agent tells you there is a standard rate, they are misinforming you. What you pay is agreed between you and the brokerage you hire. Get it in writing before the work begins.
Industry rules changed in 2024. Now a buyer and their agent must put compensation in a written buyer agreement before touring homes together. Sellers may still offer to contribute toward the buyer's side. However, that is negotiated rather than assumed. It is worth thinking through with your listing agent before you go live.

Frequently asked questions
How do I find a listing agent in The Bridges?
Ask any listing agent you interview two questions. Which homes have they closed near The Bridges, and how did they arrive at their suggested price? A grounded answer names recent closed sales. It also explains why those homes compare to yours. With a median around $2,235,450 here, the gap between realistic pricing guidance and optimistic guidance is real money. Verify the license too. Florida licenses are public and searchable through the state's DBPR portal. Pure Equity is a licensed brokerage serving Palm Beach County. You can reach the broker directly at (561) 835-5400.
What does a seller's agent actually do?
A seller's agent prices the home against comparable closed sales. Before it goes live, they advise on repairs and presentation. Then they handle photography and marketing, and put the home in front of buyers and other agents. When offers arrive, they screen them and negotiate both price and terms. Terms matter as much as the number, because inspection windows, financing contingencies, and closing dates all affect whether an offer reaches the closing table.
How much does a real estate agent cost in The Bridges?
Commissions are fully negotiable. No law or real estate board sets them. What you pay is whatever you and your brokerage agree to in writing before work begins. Since the 2024 rule changes, buyers and their agents must agree compensation in a written buyer agreement before touring homes. Any seller contribution toward the buyer's side is negotiated rather than automatic. Ask any agent you interview to put their fee in writing.
What is the difference between a realtor, a real estate agent, and a broker?
A real estate agent holds a state license to represent buyers and sellers. A broker holds a higher-level license and can operate a brokerage. That broker also carries final legal responsibility for the office's transactions. Realtor is a membership term for agents belonging to the National Association of Realtors. For someone buying or selling in The Bridges, three practical questions matter. Is the person licensed, who do they represent in your transaction, and what can they actually tell you about your local market?
Do I need an agent to buy a home in The Bridges?
You are not legally required to use one, but most buyers in The Bridges do. A buyer's agent handles the parts that are easy to get wrong. That means identifying what comparable homes actually closed for, spotting condition or association issues early, and managing inspection and financing deadlines. In a competitive market that guidance matters more, because you often get one chance to put your best offer forward.
Can one agent help me sell my current home and buy the next one?
Yes. For people moving within Palm Beach County it is often the more practical route, because one person coordinates both timelines. Sequencing is the hard part. Should your purchase be contingent on your sale? How would you cover a gap if the closings do not line up? What happens if one side is delayed? Plan all of that before either home is listed, rather than after an offer arrives.
