PulteGroup and the Boynton Beach Community Redevelopment Agency recently broke ground on The Cottage District, a new community of workforce housing in the Heart of Boynton District near downtown.
The standalone community will feature 19 single-family homes for moderate-income households priced at $301,860 and 22 townhomes for low-income households priced at $234,780. Due to the high demand for affordable housing, only recipients of a workforce housing certificate from Palm Beach County will be entered into a lottery for a chance to purchase one of the homes. Sales are expected to start in October.
“Everyone deserves a safe, stable place to call home. The Cottage District project represents not just brick and mortar, but our commitment to opportunity and a brighter future for all residents,” Boynton Beach Mayor Rebecca Shelton said. “We look forward to celebrating 41 families who will soon call this home.”
PulteGroup purchased the 4.5-acre site, which fronts Seacrest Boulevard between Northeast Fourth and Northeast Fifth avenues, from the City of Boynton Beach in December 2024 and received approval to start preparing the land for development in February. The Cottage District is the homebuilder’s fourth workforce housing project in Palm Beach County in recent years.
“The Cottage District delivers much-needed, high-quality housing that is attainable for the local workforce — including first responders, teachers, healthcare professionals, government workers and others who serve our community,” said Brent Baker, PulteGroup’s Southeast Florida Division president.
