About Lakes of Delray
Lakes of Delray took shape between 1982 and 1994, growing into a complex of several connected subdivisions just west of Jog Road. The buildings range from one-story villas to four-story walk-up structures, with newer elevators added in select buildings over the past decade. Most condos run between 800 and 1,500 square feet, with one- and two-bedroom floor plans dominating the inventory.
The community sits on landscaped grounds with several lakes and ponds, just south of Atlantic Avenue. As of 2025, the clubhouse renovation is fully paid off, and the community has cleared its milestone inspection under Florida's revised condo safety law. That clean compliance status sets Lakes of Delray apart from many older condo communities still working through reserve studies and assessments.

Frequently Asked Questions About Lakes of Delray
What Does the Milestone Inspection Status Mean for Lakes of Delray Buyers?
Florida's revised condo safety law requires older buildings to complete a structural milestone inspection and fund reserve studies. Lakes of Delray has cleared both. As a result, the community has also fully funded its clubhouse renovation, with no scheduled special assessments. The clean status reduces the risk of surprise costs after closing for buyers, which is a recurring concern in many older Florida condo communities. The clean compliance position tends to support steadier resale values.
Can Someone Under 55 Own or Live at Lakes of Delray?
Lakes of Delray follows standard active adult community rules. At least one occupant of each unit must be 55 or older. Younger residents can share the home as long as the age requirement is met. Children under 18 are generally allowed to visit but not reside full-time. Buyers should confirm the latest application rules with the association, since policies can shift over time.
What Does the Community Bus Service Include?
Lakes of Delray operates a private bus service for residents who prefer not to drive themselves. The schedule covers grocery store runs, banks, post offices, shopping centers, and medical appointment hubs nearby. Drivers know many riders by name, and the schedule shifts to accommodate seasonal demand. The service runs at no separate cost beyond the standard HOA fee.
How Does Lakes of Delray Compare to Other Large 55+ Communities in Delray?
Lakes of Delray, Kings Point, and Huntington Lakes are the three largest 55+ condo communities in Delray Beach. Kings Point is much larger and includes a golf course. By contrast, Huntington Lakes is similar in scale to Lakes of Delray but slightly newer. Lakes of Delray sits at a smaller scale, with a more central West Delray location and a recently renovated clubhouse already paid for. Prices tend to fall in a similar range across all three.
What Kind of Social Activities Run at Lakes of Delray?
More than 30 clubs operate inside Lakes of Delray, covering interests from bridge and ceramics to bird watching and the AARP chapter. In addition, a full-time activities director programs lectures, concerts, theater outings, and special events on a near-daily basis. Many residents come for the community after years of full-time work, and the calendar fills quickly during peak winter season. Quiet hours and rest spots also exist for those who prefer downtime.
Are There Any Special Assessments at Lakes of Delray?
No, the community has no scheduled special assessments as of 2025. The recent clubhouse renovation was funded and completed without an assessment, and reserve studies are current under Florida's revised condo safety rules. Even so, buyers should review the latest financial disclosures during due diligence, since reserves and budgets adjust each year. That clean financial position is one of the community's main selling points in today's market.
