Palmetto in Lantana, TX: the questions buyers actually ask, answered straight.
Prices, square footage, HOA details, schools, amenities, and resale-market context for Palmetto in Lantana — pulled directly from a 5-year residential MLS/CMA report and Denton Central Appraisal District tax records, and written by a team with deep local knowledge of the Lantana community, not a national listing aggregator. Several members of Seay Realty Group’s team have lived in the Lantana community for nearly two decades.
Palmetto sits tucked between Lantana Golf Club’s 10th and 18th holes, built entirely by Darling Homes — now the Darling Collection by Taylor Morrison. The neighborhood forms a single loop of just three streets — Honeysuckle Drive, Petunia Drive, and Bluestem Drive — with no through traffic, giving Palmetto an unusually intimate, tucked-away feel for a golf course community of its size. Approximately 72 homes make up the neighborhood.
This guide was put together by Seay Realty Group – Keller Williams to give buyers and sellers a clear picture of homes nestled in Palmetto, neighborhood features, HOA considerations, school zoning, lifestyle, and recent market activity.
But we’re more than Lantana specialists — we’re neighbors. Lantana isn’t just a place we sell — it’s the community several of our own team members call home, with multiple team members having lived here for close to two decades. That firsthand perspective shapes how we research and represent every section of the neighborhood, including Palmetto.
The market figures below reflect a 5-year residential CMA for Palmetto in Lantana, TX, covering 11 closed MLS sales from July 26, 2021, through July 25, 2026. The report was prepared July 25, 2026. Because 11 closed sales is a modest sample for a five-year window, we’ve supplemented the CMA with Denton Central Appraisal District tax records covering all homes in the neighborhood to provide fuller context on square footage, lot sizes, and construction. The figures provide historical neighborhood-level context and should not be interpreted as current inventory, an appraisal, or a guarantee of value.

01 - About Palmetto & Lantana
Palmetto is a golf-course-oriented neighborhood within Lantana, a master-planned community in southwest Denton County that includes approximately 1,780 acres, around 4,000 single-family homes, and roughly 15,000 residents. Palmetto is built entirely by Darling Homes — now the Darling Collection by Taylor Morrison — and is arranged as a single loop of three streets: Honeysuckle Drive, Petunia Drive, and Bluestem Drive.
Based on the 5-year Palmetto CMA, closed sales ranged from approximately 2,189 to 2,972 square feet, with a median closed size of approximately 2,610 square feet and an average of approximately 2,620 square feet — predominantly 3-bedroom homes with a mix of 1-story and 1.5-story floor plans, built with European- and Mediterranean-inspired traditional and patio-home architecture.
Palmetto forms a single, self-contained loop tucked between Lantana’s Bellaire section and Lantana Golf Club, accessible via Lantana Trail onto Bluestem Drive, in the 76226 ZIP code. Because the neighborhood is a closed loop with no through traffic, Palmetto has a quieter, more insulated feel than many drive-through sections of the community — residents describe it as tucked away from the busier parts of Lantana despite sitting close to the golf clubhouse. Its position gives residents access to Lantana’s trail system, parks, pools, fitness amenities, and nearby shopping and services along FM 407, FM 2499, and surrounding Denton County corridors.
Local Insight — Seay Realty Group
What sets Palmetto apart is its golf course frontage on both sides of the loop. Homes along Honeysuckle Drive and Petunia Drive back to the 10th tee and fairway, while homes on the opposite side of the loop back to the 18th tee and fairway — giving Palmetto residents golf course exposure from two different holes rather than just one. A handful of homes near the 18th green also take in views of the ornamental pond that sits beside the green complex, just off the Lantana Golf Club clubhouse.
Both holes were designed by Jay and Carter Morrish. The 18th is a strategic, par-4 finishing hole that rewards smart placement over raw power, using the natural rolling terrain of North Texas rather than length alone. The pond near the green does not intersect the fairway or function as an in-play hazard for a typical shot, but it adds to the view for the homes nearby. The 10th, which opens the back nine, is a challenging dogleg-style par-4 with sculpted rough and strategically placed white-sand bunkers positioned to catch tee shots that blow through the dogleg or pull offline.
Because Palmetto is built entirely by a single builder with a consistent architectural vision, the streetscape reads as unusually cohesive for a Lantana resale neighborhood — there’s a settled, high-end feel to the loop that buyers notice as soon as they turn onto Honeysuckle or Petunia.
Yes. Palmetto is part of Lantana, TX, a master-planned community in Denton County. Homes in Palmetto are generally subject to the Lantana Community Association, architectural standards, HOA rules, and community guidelines.
Subdivision labels can vary across MLS records, appraisal district records, legal descriptions, and closing documents — Denton Central Appraisal District records list the subdivision as “Palmetto Add.” Buyers should verify the exact subdivision, governing documents, resale certificate, deed restrictions, and HOA rules for the specific home they are considering.
Palmetto occupies a distinctive niche within Lantana: it’s a single-builder, single-loop neighborhood with golf course frontage on two different holes, rather than a large, multi-street section built by several builders. Because Darling Homes built every home in Palmetto, buyers get a level of architectural consistency — European and Mediterranean-inspired traditional and patio-home styling — that stands apart from Lantana’s more varied production sections.
That combination shows up in the numbers. Closed sales in Palmetto over the past five years ranged from roughly $525,000 to $840,000, with a median sold price around $620,000, positioning Palmetto in the upper-middle of Lantana’s overall price spectrum. Reported turnover also appears low — only 11 closed MLS sales over five years across a roughly 72-home neighborhood — consistent with the neighborhood’s reputation as tightly held and sought after, though buyers should note that a small closed-sale count also means fewer recent comparables to price against.
Palmetto was built entirely by Darling Homes, now operating as the Darling Collection by Taylor Morrison. Darling configured the addition with a focus on upscale, lower-maintenance single-family plans — a number of 1.5-story designs alongside single-story homes, all sharing Darling’s signature European- and Mediterranean-inspired traditional and patio-home architecture. Based on the 5-year Palmetto MLS history and supporting Denton CAD tax records covering the full neighborhood, homes in Palmetto are:
- Single-family homes, with the 11 reviewed closed sales ranging from about 2,189 to 2,972 square feet and a median size around 2,610 square feet
- Predominantly 3-bedroom, with one 4-bedroom home among the reviewed closed sales
- A mix of 2-car and 3-car garages, split roughly evenly across the reviewed closed sales
- Pool properties in approximately 18% (2 of 11) of the reviewed closed sales
- Built primarily between 2012 and 2015, with an average year built of approximately 2014 and a median of approximately 2013
- Set on lots ranging from approximately 0.160 to 0.310 acres, averaging approximately 0.187 acres
- Predominantly single-story, with roughly three-quarters of the neighborhood’s homes built as one-story plans and the remainder as 1.5- or 2-story designs, based on Denton CAD records covering all homes in the neighborhood
Local Insight with Seay Realty Group
Darling Homes built Palmetto with a downsizing and low-maintenance buyer in mind without sacrificing finish quality. Across the homes we’ve seen sell in the neighborhood, common upgrades include hand-scraped or nail-down hardwood flooring, granite and quartz countertops, gas cooktops, plantation shutters throughout, and extended covered patios — several with outdoor kitchens, fireplaces, and retractable or motorized screens designed to make the most of the golf course views. A meaningful number of Palmetto owners have also added private pools, spas, and custom outdoor living spaces since original construction, so buyers touring the neighborhood will find real variation in backyard amenities even among homes with similar floor plans.
Palmetto also has a reputation locally for lower turnover and, at times, competitive multiple-offer situations — consistent with what we’ve seen firsthand representing buyers and sellers in the neighborhood. With only 11 closed MLS sales across roughly 72 homes over the past five years, inventory here tends to be thin, and well-priced, well-presented listings can move quickly.
02 - Homes & Palmetto Real Estate Market
In the 5-year CMA, the 11 reviewed closed sales ranged from $525,000 to $840,000, with an average sold price of approximately $634,295 and a median sold price of approximately $620,000.
Current values will depend on active competition, interior updates, pool presence, lot placement (including which fairway a home backs to), garage configuration, condition of major systems, market timing, and buyer demand. Because Palmetto’s closed-sale count is modest for a five-year window, pricing a specific home should lean on the most recent and most comparable available sales rather than the full five-year average alone.
The 5-year CMA showed a median cumulative days on market of approximately 6 days and an average of approximately 8 days among closed sales, with individual closed sales ranging from about 2 to 21 cumulative days on market.
Both figures are fast compared to many resale neighborhoods, and consistent with Palmetto’s reputation for low turnover and strong buyer demand. For sellers, a Palmetto home that launches with accurate pricing, clean preparation, and strong photography has historically captured serious buyer attention within the first one to two weeks. For buyers, it helps to have financing, proof of funds, and a clear offer strategy ready before touring, since several Palmetto closings in the CMA sold within days of hitting the market.
The 5-year Palmetto CMA showed an average sale-to-list ratio of approximately 102.7% and a median sale-to-list ratio of 100.0%. Closed sales ranged from approximately 96.4% to 114.8% of list price. The majority of reviewed sales closed at or above list price, reflecting strong buyer demand for well-priced, well-presented Palmetto listings.
The five-year period includes different market environments, including the highly competitive conditions experienced during portions of 2021 and 2022. The above-list results at the upper end of the range should not be interpreted as an expected outcome for a current listing.
Yes, though pools are less common in Palmetto than in some of Lantana’s other neighborhoods. Of the 11 closed sales reviewed in the 5-year CMA, 2 homes — approximately 18% — included a private pool at time of sale. We’ve also represented and reviewed a number of Palmetto homes where owners added a pool, spa, or expanded outdoor living space after purchase, so the current share of pool homes in the neighborhood may run higher than what closed MLS sales alone reflect.
For buyers, that means it’s worth asking specifically whether a target home — or a neighboring lot — has pool potential given lot size and setback. For sellers with an existing pool, a well-maintained pool and outdoor living area remains one of the strongest presentation features in a neighborhood built around golf course backyards.

Texas doesn’t require sale prices to be publicly recorded, so the closed sale price of a Palmetto home is only available through the MLS — accessible to licensed agents, not the general public or most third-party valuation tools. That matters even more in a low-turnover neighborhood like Palmetto: with only 11 closed MLS sales over five years, automated valuation tools working from limited public data have very few actual data points to draw from, and are especially prone to missing the details that drive value here — which fairway a home backs to, pool presence, lot premium, and post-purchase upgrades.
Because Palmetto sales are relatively infrequent, we also pull supplemental context from Denton Central Appraisal District tax records covering all homes in the neighborhood — square footage, lot size, year built, and story count — to fill out the picture beyond just the closed MLS sample. The combination of CMA data and full tax-roll context gives a far more accurate picture of true Palmetto value than a national aggregator estimate built on a thin public data set.
03 - HOA, Fees & Taxes
Yes. Palmetto homes are part of the Lantana Community Association. Buyers should review the current HOA resale certificate, governing documents, architectural guidelines, community rules, and fee schedule before closing.
HOA dues and inclusions can change, so the most accurate source is the current resale certificate and direct HOA confirmation. Recent Lantana MLS and resale information may reflect monthly HOA dues, but buyers should verify the current amount for the specific home before relying on any published figure.
Local Insight — Seay Realty Group
The current HOA dues commonly reflected for Palmetto Lantana are $131.00 per month, but buyers should verify the current amount directly with the HOA before relying on any published figure. HOA rates are reviewed and can be adjusted annually by the Lantana Community Association board. We always recommend pulling the current resale certificate so there are no surprises at closing.
Lantana HOA dues have historically supported services and amenities such as:
- Front-yard maintenance
- Vector Security monitoring and system installation
- Community swimming pools
- Fitness centers
- Parks and playgrounds
- Sports courts
- Hike-and-bike trails
- Common-area landscaping and maintenance
- Community programming
- Architectural and neighborhood standards
Front-yard maintenance has historically included mowing, edging, pruning, weeding, and seasonal fertilization. Buyers should confirm the current scope of all HOA-provided services for the specific property.
No. The Lantana Golf Club is a private club. Golf and club membership are separate from Lantana Community Association dues — even for Palmetto homes that back directly to the course. Membership options, availability, initiation fees, and monthly charges should be confirmed directly with the club.
Yes — because Lantana is unincorporated, residents pay a small annual assessment, billed through the HOA, that funds fire and EMS coverage from the Argyle Volunteer Fire Department, calculated based on the home’s appraised value rather than a flat rate. Membership at Lantana Golf Club is also separate and optional, on top of standard HOA dues.
There may be additional costs beyond standard HOA dues depending on the property, current HOA structure, and community assessments. Buyers should review the HOA resale certificate, title documents, tax records, lender estimates, and seller disclosures.
Property taxes vary by property and should be reviewed carefully before purchase. Based on Denton CAD tax records for the neighborhood, total assessed values across Palmetto homes have generally ranged from roughly $450,000 to $772,000, with a median around $595,000 — though assessed value is not the same as market value or purchase price, and buyers should evaluate county tax records, applicable exemptions, estimated post-purchase taxes, HOA dues, insurance, and any community-related assessments for the specific home.
Online mortgage calculators may not accurately include property taxes, HOA dues, insurance, or other ownership costs — a buyer’s true monthly payment should be calculated using property-specific information.
The short answer is yes. Lantana is located within special district structures, and taxes may include allocations tied to community services and emergency services. Special assessments or district-related fees should be verified by property. Before purchasing in Palmetto, buyers should review title documents, tax records, HOA information, seller disclosures, and lender estimates to understand the full cost of ownership.
04 - Schools & Local Children's Activities
Palmetto is within Denton Independent School District.
Dorothy Adkins Elementary School (Adkins)
Tom Harpool Middle School (Harpool)
John H. Guyer High School (Guyer or Denton Guyer)
Denton ISD maintains attendance-zone resources, and buyers should always confirm current school assignment directly with Denton ISD before purchasing because boundaries can change.
Local Insight: Denton Guyer High School
For families relocating to Palmetto, school zoning is a big part of the appeal — the neighborhood falls within the boundary of Denton Guyer High School, home of the Wildcats. As of July 2026, Guyer competes in Class 6A for all UIL activities, academics, fine arts, and athletics alike, placing it among the largest and most competitive classification in Texas high school sports. On the football field, the Wildcats compete in Class 6A Division II as part of District 5-6A, going up against some of the toughest programs in the DFW area. Go Wildcats!
Lantana’s broader community environment provides access to parks, playgrounds, swimming facilities, trails, sports courts, and resident events.
Children in the area may also participate in:
- Youth swimming
- Golf or tennis instruction
- Soccer
- Baseball
- Basketball
- Football

Within Lantana, kids have the opportunity to join the Lantana Lightning Swim Team, Scouts, YMSL, the Texas Lantana Chapter of National Charity League, and many other clubs and activities. Lantana also has tennis and golf lessons offered within the community privately — a natural fit for Palmetto families given the neighborhood’s direct proximity to Lantana Golf Club.
Kids interested in sports teams have many choices, including soccer, baseball, youth football, basketball, and more. Kids from Lantana often join local recreational or developmental leagues in nearby Highland Village, Argyle, Denton, and Flower Mound.
In June, many children from the Lantana community attend special-interest and sports camps hosted at Guyer High School. Children also can opt to attend camps at local high schools in Flower Mound, Argyle and other surrounding school districts.
All children’s activities listed generally have fees that are not included in HOA dues. Contact each group directly for the most recent costs associated with participation. A helpful local resource is often one of the Lantana community Facebook groups, such as Lantana Moms.
Palmetto is in Denton ISD, not Argyle ISD.
This question comes up often with buyers of Lantana homes. The confusion sometimes arises because Lantana is near Argyle and some nearby properties — including many in Palmetto — use an Argyle mailing address. Although Lantana residents share the 76226 ZIP code with nearby Argyle addresses, public-school attendance boundaries are independent of postal city designations.
Local Insight with Seay Realty Group
While Lantana’s students are zoned for Denton ISD, school options are extraordinary for the community. Lantana has several nearby private schools such as Liberty Christian School, Founder’s Classical Academy, Harvest Christian Academy, The Selwyn School, Coram Deo and many other notable options. Some public school districts in this part of Texas also offer open enrollment. Buyers should contact each district directly to confirm whether open enrollment is available and how the application process works.
Families researching private education can compare schools in Argyle, Flower Mound, Denton, and surrounding communities. Admissions, grade levels, transportation, tuition, programs, and availability should be confirmed directly with each school.
Seay Realty Group does not rank schools or steer buyers toward or away from a neighborhood based on protected characteristics. We provide factual location and zoning resources so each household can evaluate the fit for its own needs.

Yes — Palmetto is one of the closest neighborhoods in Lantana to the golf course itself. The neighborhood is nestled directly between the 10th tee and fairway on one side and the 18th tee and fairway on the other, with a number of homes along Honeysuckle Drive and Petunia Drive backing directly onto one of the two holes. Several homes near the 18th green also overlook the ornamental pond beside the clubhouse.
Lantana Golf Club membership is optional and billed separately from standard HOA dues — contact Lantana Golf Club directly for current pricing. From most homes in Palmetto, the clubhouse is just a short walk or golf-cart ride away.
Palmetto sits within Lantana in southern Denton County, roughly 8 to 10 miles south of Denton, with access to major routes including FM 407, FM 2499, and US-377. Lantana is approximately 35 miles from both downtown Dallas and downtown Fort Worth, about 16 miles from DFW International Airport, and about 30 miles from Dallas Love Field, depending on route and traffic. Everyday shopping and dining are close by in Highland Village and along the corridor near Lantana, including Marty B’s, Torchy’s Tacos, Christina’s Mexican Restaurant, and Blue Goose Cantina. There are also a lot of nearby fast food, chain restaurants, locally owned restaurants and unique spots to enjoy.
Palmetto’s location in southern Denton County puts residents within a manageable drive of the DFW area’s major sports and entertainment venues — close enough for regular game nights without living in the middle of downtown traffic.
- AT&T Stadium (Dallas Cowboys) — Arlington, TX: approximately 35 miles, roughly 45–55 minutes depending on traffic.
- Globe Life Field (Texas Rangers) — Arlington, TX: approximately 35 miles, roughly 45–55 minutes, same general drive as AT&T Stadium since both sit in the Arlington entertainment district.
- American Airlines Center (Dallas Mavericks & Dallas Stars) — Downtown Dallas: approximately 35 miles, roughly 40–50 minutes.
- The Star in Frisco (Dallas Cowboys World Headquarters & Ford Center) — Frisco, TX: approximately 30 miles, roughly 40–45 minutes, making Palmetto notably closer to Cowboys training facility events than to the stadium itself.
- Comerica Center (Dallas Stars practice facility) — Frisco, TX: similar drive to The Star, roughly 30 miles.
For concerts and live entertainment, residents have several options within a similar drive time:
- American Airlines Center — also a primary concert venue for major touring acts, roughly 35 miles from Palmetto.
- Dos Equis Pavilion — Dallas’ outdoor amphitheater near Fair Park, approximately 35–38 miles.
- The Pavilion at Toyota Music Factory — Irving, TX: approximately 25–30 miles, one of the closer major concert venues to Lantana.
- Toyota Music Factory’s broader entertainment district (restaurants, bars, and smaller live-music venues) in Irving is a popular closer-to-home option for an evening out.
Drive times will vary with traffic, game-day and event-day congestion, and the specific route taken (I-35E/I-35W, TX-121, or the Sam Rayburn Tollway are all common options depending on the venue). Rideshare and event-day parking availability should be checked directly with each venue.
Local Insight with Seay Realty Group
One thing buyers relocating for a “big city, close to everything” lifestyle appreciate about Lantana specifically: it splits the difference well. Frisco’s sports and entertainment corridor — The Star, Comerica Center, and the surrounding restaurants and shops — is actually a shorter drive from Palmetto than downtown Dallas or Arlington, while Arlington’s stadium district and downtown Dallas’ American Airlines Center remain very doable for a game night or concert without an overnight stay. For families who follow Dallas-area pro sports or regularly attend concerts, that central Denton County location is a genuine lifestyle perk of living in Lantana.
Palmetto tends to attract buyers looking for a quiet, tucked-away, single-loop section of Lantana with direct golf course access and low turnover. Because every home in the neighborhood was built by Darling Homes with a consistent architectural style — upscale, lower-maintenance 1-story and 1.5-story plans — Palmetto has a settled, cohesive feel that buyers notice immediately.
With no through traffic and only three streets forming a closed loop, Palmetto offers a level of privacy and quiet that’s harder to find in Lantana’s larger, more heavily trafficked sections — while still sitting minutes from the clubhouse, town green, and community pool. That combination of privacy and proximity is part of why Palmetto has a reputation locally for lower turnover and, at times, multiple offers on well-priced listings.
Given the neighborhood’s golf course lots and lower-maintenance design, Palmetto tends to draw downsizers, golf enthusiasts, and buyers who want single-story or near-single-story living without giving up on space, upgrades, or an established community setting.
Lantana is not a designated 55+ community, but it continues to appeal to many 50+ buyers and seniors who want a well-maintained Denton County neighborhood with convenient amenities, attractive streetscapes, and an active community feel. As a master-planned golf course community in southwestern Denton County, Lantana offers a lifestyle that can work well for empty nesters, downsizers, retirees, and multigenerational households — and Palmetto’s mix of single-story and 1.5-story, lower-maintenance floor plans makes it a particularly natural fit for buyers in this stage of life.
Residents enjoy access to neighborhood amenities such as walking trails, community pools, fitness facilities, parks, tennis courts, and golf-centered surroundings, creating opportunities to stay active without leaving the community. Many buyers in this stage of life also appreciate Lantana’s established neighborhoods, HOA-maintained community standards, proximity to Flower Mound, Highland Village, Denton, and Argyle, and access to nearby shopping, dining, medical offices, and everyday services.
Local Insight with Seay Realty Group
For the Phenomenal Over 50 of Lantana residents, there is an assortment of organized community activities that are ongoing and can be found on the community’s lifestyle calendar. From Lantana’s Ladies League, a “Chair Fit” group, gaming groups (Bingo, Bunko or Mahjong anyone?) there’s always something happening in the community — and Palmetto residents are just a short walk from Lantana Golf Club’s clubhouse for a round or a casual lunch.
Pickleball has become one of the most popular ways for Lantana residents of all ages to stay active, meet neighbors, and enjoy the community lifestyle. Whether you are a beginner learning the basics, a competitive player looking for regular matches, or a family wanting a fun activity everyone can enjoy, Lantana’s amenity-focused design makes it easy to build recreation into everyday life.
Lantana residents enjoy access to community athletic amenities, parks, walking trails, fitness areas, and gathering spaces that support an active, connected lifestyle. Pickleball is especially appealing because it works well across generations — kids, parents, empty nesters, and retirees can all play together, making it a natural fit for Lantana’s neighborhood-centered environment.

Seay Realty Group has its very own pickleball and tennis lover on our team! Tanya Auerbach, REALTOR can be found at Lantana’s Tennis Complex or Ferguson Courts in Lantana regularly enjoying both sports. Whether you’re just a beginner needing lessons or an experienced athlete looking for a competitive environment, there are all levels of playing styles and ages active within Lantana.
While the tennis courts in Lantana are first come, first served to play (with lesson and match exceptions) — Ferguson Courts has a different structure. These courts are public and are open daily to the public from 6:00 AM – 10:00 PM (with some exceptions). Other courts in the Ferguson complex include a challenge court and reservation courts — available from a reservation app.
Yes. Lantana is a walkable, trail-heavy master-planned community, and pets are very much part of everyday life here. With miles of hike-and-bike trails, greenbelts, sidewalks throughout Palmetto and the surrounding sections, and multiple neighborhood parks, dog owners have plenty of room to walk, jog, and exercise pets without leaving the community.
Are there dog parks or off-leash areas in Lantana?
Lantana’s trails, greenbelts, and neighborhood parks are popular for walking dogs, but leash rules apply throughout the community’s common areas and sidewalks, consistent with the Lantana Community Association’s general conduct guidelines. For dedicated off-leash dog parks, several are within a short drive of Palmetto, including options in nearby Highland Village, Flower Mound, and Corinth.
Does the Lantana HOA have pet rules or restrictions?
Palmetto homes fall under the Lantana Community Association, and like most HOA communities, there are typically guidelines around leash requirements in common areas, pet waste cleanup, and general nuisance/noise provisions. Some HOAs also include breed, size, or per-household pet limits in their governing documents, however Lantana’s governing documents do not currently have breed or size restrictions for its homeowners.
Local Insight with Seay Realty Group
Pets are a big part of daily life in Lantana — you’ll see dogs on nearly every evening walk through Palmetto’s loop and along the community trails. If you’re relocating with pets, we always recommend pulling the current HOA pet guidelines as part of your due diligence, right alongside architectural standards and resale certificate review, so there are no surprises after you move in.
Lantana has two workout facilities in the community that are a part of the HOA amenities. Located at the north and south amenity centers, both gyms have machines for cardio and weight training.
The North Amenity Center facility is spacious and includes:
- Ellipticals
- Treadmills
- Leg Machines
- Benches & Racks
- Free Weights
- Resistance Training
- Stair climbers
- Indoor Cycles
- Motion Trainers
- Strength Machines
- Cable Stations
- Group Training Room
- Olympic-Sized Pool
The South Amenity Center facility is smaller, but also includes:
- Ellipticals
- Free Weights
- Indoor Cycles
- Benches & Racks
- Resistance Training
- Swimming Pool
Lantana also offers Group and Personal Training through Body Bionics. Their offerings change, however in July 2026 their group classes included Aqua Aerobics, Boot Camps, Yoga, Pilates, and Fit 360 (plus a lot more). Martial Arts classes are also offered for youth in Lantana, and classes are held at the North Community Center.
*Gym equipment lists and class offerings are subject to change. Check with Body Bionics or stop by the HOA office for a more up-to-date list of available classes, equipment and times facilities are open to residents. Group and Personal Training, as well as Martial Arts classes are not included in HOA fees. Check directly with Body Bionics for rates and times.
06 - Buying or Selling in Palmetto
Seay Realty Group has represented buyers and sellers throughout Lantana for close to two decades, including transactions in Palmetto. A few specific ways that translates into real value:
- Accurate pricing despite a thin closed-sale count. With only 11 closed MLS sales in Palmetto over five years, we supplement CMA data with Denton CAD tax records covering every home in the neighborhood — giving a fuller, more accurate read on true value than a national aggregator working from limited public data.
- Single-builder, single-loop familiarity. Because every Palmetto home was built by Darling Homes, we know how the neighborhood’s floor plans, upgrade packages, and lot placements differ from one closing to the next — rather than relying on a generic square-footage comparison.
- Lot-by-lot familiarity. From which homes back to the 10th fairway versus the 18th, to which lots overlook the pond near the clubhouse, we can answer the questions that matter to buyers and sellers but rarely show up in an MLS printout.
- A genuine stake in the Lantana community. We’re not just representing listings — we’re protecting the community’s reputation and its values.
The fastest way to get started is to contact Seay Realty Group directly for a buyer consultation or a free, no-obligation home value report for a Palmetto property. Buyers can also ask about off-market or coming-soon opportunities, since some of the best Lantana homes — especially in a tightly held, low-turnover neighborhood like Palmetto — change hands before ever reaching public listing portals.
Palmetto sellers should understand that pricing cannot be based only on square footage or online estimates. Buyers are evaluating condition, updates, floor plan, lot placement (including which fairway a home backs to), garage configuration, pool condition, outdoor living, and presentation carefully. Before listing a Palmetto home, sellers should review:
- Recent Palmetto MLS activity
- Competing active homes in Lantana
- Updated vs. original finishes
- Paint, flooring, lighting, and curb appeal
- Roof, HVAC, foundation, and major systems
- Pool condition and equipment, if applicable
- Lot positioning and privacy, including which hole a home backs to
- Staging and photography strategy
- Pricing strategy based on current buyer demand
When you’re considering listing your home, contact Seay Realty Group for a no-obligation consultation.
Across the 11 closed sales reviewed in the 5-year CMA:
- Average time on market: approximately 8 days
- Median time on market: approximately 6 days
- Range: anywhere from about 2 to 21 days
Those numbers are fast, and reflect what we’ve seen firsthand — well-priced Palmetto listings tend to draw quick, strong interest, with some homes going under contract within days, occasionally with multiple offers on the table. Palmetto’s combination of low turnover, a cohesive single-builder streetscape, and golf course frontage on two different holes tends to keep buyer demand high relative to the limited number of homes that come to market in any given year.
- Realistic, well-researched pricing from day one. Palmetto homes sold at a median of 100.0% of list price over the past five years, with several selling above asking. Accurate pricing based on true comparable sales tends to attract stronger, faster offers.
- Highlighting golf course frontage. Homes backing to the 10th or 18th fairway, or with views of the pond near the clubhouse, carry real appeal in this neighborhood — that feature should be front and center in marketing.
- Move-in-ready condition. Buyers in this price point and neighborhood expect updated finishes, hardwood flooring, and well-maintained systems to match homes built between 2012 and 2015.
- Accurate, MLS-and-tax-record-based pricing rather than aggregator estimates. Because Texas is a non-disclosure state and Palmetto’s closed-sale count is thin, third-party valuation tools routinely miss the mark here.
- Which fairway the lot backs to. Homes along one side of the loop back to the 10th tee and fairway; homes along the other side back to the 18th tee and fairway, with some near the green also overlooking the pond. Each carries its own view and orientation, so it’s worth understanding exactly what a specific property backs up to before comparing prices.
- Builder consistency, individual upgrades. Every Palmetto home was built by Darling Homes with a shared architectural style, but individual owners have added pools, outdoor kitchens, and interior updates over time — it’s worth understanding what upgrades a specific home includes versus original construction.
- Pool condition and potential. Approximately 18% of the closed Palmetto sales reviewed included a pool at time of sale; for homes without one, ask about lot size and setback to understand pool potential.
- Garage configuration. A roughly even mix of 2-car and 3-car garages across the reviewed sales.
- True comparable pricing, not aggregator estimates. Work from actual MLS comparable sales and Denton CAD tax records — not a Zestimate — to understand whether a specific home is priced fairly given Palmetto’s thin closed-sale history.
- HOA details. Current dues commonly reflected for Palmetto are $131.00/month, but buyers should confirm the exact amount and any assessments for the specific address via the resale certificate.
