About The Colony

The Colony is the name residents and listings use for the homes recorded as the Winterplace plat: about 150 houses on a loop of Classical Boulevard and Modern Drive, built almost all at once between 2001 and 2005.

The county roll counts 151 houses on the Winterplace plat, with 98 of them finished in 2003. They are larger than most in this part of Delray Beach: the typical house has about 2,900 square feet of living area, on a lot of about 5,000 square feet.

Classical Boulevard runs in four named sections, north, south, east and west, with Modern Drive through the middle. Listings describe a gated entry, a clubhouse, a pool and courts run by the association; we confirm the amenities and what the dues cover for a specific home.

It is inside the City of Delray Beach in the 33445 ZIP, off Military Trail in north Delray Beach, a short drive to Lake Ida Road, I-95 and downtown.

What Else to Check

  • Homeowners’ association We confirm the association, the budget and any assessment from the disclosure summary for a specific home.
  • Taxes and insurance After a sale the assessed value resets the following January. Flood zone and roof age drive insurance quotes, so we check both for the address.
  • Estoppel The closing agent orders an estoppel certificate from each association, which confirms what is owed at closing.

Documents to Review Before Closing

  • Before you sign: the association disclosure summary and the parcel’s tax bill, including any non-ad valorem lines
  • Before you sign: leasing and approval rules if you may rent, and architectural rules for exterior changes
  • Before closing: estoppel certificates from every association that applies
