Palomino Village

Players Club: Optional

Attached two- and three-bedroom villas by the Mustang course, most with a private pool — an established, neighborly pocket.

The overview

About Palomino Village

Palomino Village is built for low-cost lock-and-leave ownership: a modest annual HOA and an optional Players Club keep the carrying cost low and uncomplicated, whether the door is open all year or locked for a season. The enclave itself is mature and settled — 50-plus attached villas built roughly 1995–1997 along Lely’s Mustang course. Two- and three-bedroom floor plans run a compact 1,500–1,650 square feet, and — unlike many villa communities at this entry price — most homes have their own private pool rather than relying only on the community pool, with views over the Mustang fairways or quiet garden landscaping.

What sets it apart is a low, uncomplicated cost of ownership. The annual HOA is modest — roughly $550 plus any assessments (verify) — and the community carries the Non-Amenities Covenant, so the Players Club & Spa is optional rather than required. Join for full resort access or skip it to keep carrying costs down — an advantage over Lely’s Classics-side enclaves, where membership is mandatory (compare Players Club covenants).

Leasing runs a 90-day minimum (about four times a year), and the community is pet-friendly.

Figures are approximate, compiled from MLS and public/association sources, and change without notice. Confirm current dues, rules, and covenant status for any specific home before relying on them — or ask me.
