Esprit by Kolter: What’s New in 2026 — Updates, Prices, and Availability

If you’ve been watching Avenir’s 55-plus scene, August 2026 is a good month to pay closer attention to Esprit by Kolter. Pricing has shifted upward as the community matures, Kolter has just introduced new floorplans across its Avenir portfolio, and the pool of move-in-ready homes is tightening. For buyers who’ve been “thinking about it,” the window to lock in current pricing and lot selection is narrowing.

Esprit by Kolter: A Quick Refresher

Esprit is the 55-plus, gated enclave within the master-planned Avenir community in Palm Beach Gardens. Kolter Homes designed Esprit around low-maintenance, single-family living for active adults who want resort-style amenities without the upkeep of a sprawling estate. The community offers six floorplans ranging from roughly 1,968 to 2,776 square feet, giving buyers a range of options from efficient two-bedroom layouts to more spacious three- and four-bedroom homes suited for hosting family and grandchildren.

As of this update, homes at Esprit are priced from the $800s to just over $1 million, with some published pricing sources referencing starting points in the $700s depending on release timing and incentives. Given how quickly pricing and available lots shift in an active-selling community, we recommend treating any published price as a starting reference point — the Esprit by Kolter page on TourAvenir.com is where we keep the most current figures we’re seeing in the field.

What Changed at Esprit in 2026

A few notable developments have shaped the Esprit story this year:

• Kolter expanded its Avenir floorplan collection. In late July 2026, Kolter Homes announced four new floorplans across its Avenir communities, broadening choices for buyers who want more flexibility in layout, garage configuration, and square footage. This is a meaningful update for anyone who toured Esprit a year ago and didn’t find quite the right fit — it may be worth a second look now.
• Pricing has trended upward alongside the broader Avenir market. Avenir’s overall average sold price climbed to roughly $1.6 million as of mid-2026, up from about $1.3 million in 2024, reflecting strong demand across the master plan. While Esprit remains one of the more accessible entry points into Avenir, this upward market pressure has nudged pricing on remaining inventory and new releases.
• Days on market have shortened. Homes across Avenir are moving faster than they did even a year ago — average days on market sits around 87 in 2026, tighter than in prior years for comparable listings. Well-priced, move-in-ready homes at Esprit are following this same pattern.
• Inventory is more move-in-ready focused. With the community further along in its build-out, a growing share of available homes are quick move-in or near-complete, rather than early-stage pre-construction slots. That’s good news if you want to be settled before season, but it also means the classic “pick your lot and customize everything” opportunity is becoming less common.

Current Pricing and Floorplans at a Glance

Based on the most recent data we’re tracking, here’s what buyers should expect at Esprit right now:

• Entry-level pricing: Starting from the $700s to $800s for smaller floorplans, depending on release and incentives.
• Mid-range and larger homes: Pricing extends past $1 million for the largest of the six floorplans, particularly those approaching the 2,776-square-foot Sophia plan, which has been listed around $1.17 million for a 3-bedroom, 3-bath configuration.
• Bedroom counts: Floorplans range from 2 to 4 bedrooms, giving 55-plus buyers room to accommodate visiting family, a home office, or a dedicated hobby space.
• Community gating and design: Esprit is a gated section within Avenir, which continues to be one of the draws for buyers prioritizing privacy and a dedicated 55-plus social atmosphere separate from Avenir’s family-oriented sections.

Because pricing and available plans shift as Kolter releases new phases, the smartest move is to compare current listings directly. Our Esprit page is updated as we confirm new information, and we’re happy to walk you through what’s currently released versus what’s still to come.

Why Esprit’s Timing Matters Right Now

Early buyers in any new-construction community typically get the best lot selections, the most favorable pre-construction pricing, and access to builder incentives that tend to disappear once a community nears sellout. Esprit is no longer in its earliest release phase, but it’s also not sold out — which puts it in a sweet spot. You’re buying into a community with proven amenities and an established rhythm of life, while there’s still meaningful selection left among floorplans and homesites.

With Avenir’s overall average sold price climbing and days on market shrinking, the broader trend line points toward continued appreciation across the master plan. For 55-plus buyers specifically, Esprit represents one of the more approachable entry points into Avenir compared to some of the luxury single-family and estate sections elsewhere in the community — a meaningful consideration if you’re relocating from up north, downsizing from a larger PBG-area home, or investing in a low-maintenance property for seasonal use.

Location: Why Esprit’s Spot Within Avenir Works So Well

Esprit benefits from everything that makes Avenir one of the most talked-about master-planned communities in northern Palm Beach County. The community sits just west of Florida’s Turnpike and within easy reach of PGA Boulevard, meaning residents have quick access to the Gardens Mall, Downtown at the Gardens, and the corridor’s extensive dining scene — from casual lunch spots to white-tablecloth dinners — without a long drive.

Interstate 95 access from the area makes it simple to head south toward West Palm Beach’s downtown waterfront and cultural attractions, or north toward Jupiter’s charming Harbourside Place and marina district. And for residents who want sand and surf, Palm Beach Gardens’ public beaches and the Jupiter/Juno Beach coastline are roughly a 15 to 20-minute drive — close enough for spontaneous sunset walks, far enough to avoid tourist congestion.

Within Avenir itself, Esprit residents have access to the master plan’s broader amenity ecosystem, including green space, trails, and planned town center features, while still enjoying their own gated, age-qualified enclave.

How Esprit Compares to Other Avenir Options

Avenir is home to a wide range of builders and product types, and it’s worth understanding where Esprit fits. If you’re comparing 55-plus or lower-maintenance options, Esprit is Kolter’s dedicated active-adult offering, distinct from Kolter’s other Avenir community, L’Ambiance, which offers a different amenity and floorplan approach — you can review that community on our L’Ambiance by Kolter page.

For buyers who want to see the complete builder lineup across Avenir — including Toll Brothers, GL Homes, Kenco Communities, Akel Homes, WL Homes, and DiVosta — our All Avenir Builders page offers a side-by-side view. And if you’re still getting oriented to Avenir as a whole, our Avenir community guide and the more detailed complete 2026 Avenir guide are excellent starting points before you narrow your search to a single neighborhood.

What to Expect When You Tour Esprit Today

Because Esprit is actively selling and releasing new floorplans, a private tour is the best way to understand what’s truly available versus what’s already spoken for. When you tour with us, we’ll walk you through:

• Which floorplans currently have released inventory, and which are sold out or waitlisted
• Realistic pricing based on lot premiums, structural options, and current builder incentives
• How Esprit’s HOA and amenity package compares to other 55-plus and low-maintenance options in the broader Palm Beach Gardens market
• Timeline expectations — whether you’re looking at move-in-ready homes or a build slot with a several-month completion window

Given how quickly inventory has been moving across Avenir this year, we strongly encourage scheduling a visit sooner rather than later if Esprit is on your shortlist.
