Watermark by Toll Brothers Model Homes: Which Floor Plan Is Right for You?

If you’ve been watching Avenir’s transformation over the past few years, you already know that Watermark by Toll Brothers has quietly become one of the most sought-after addresses in Palm Beach Gardens. As of October 2026, Watermark is officially sold out of new construction — but that doesn’t mean the story is over. Resale opportunities are surfacing regularly, and understanding the floor plans that made this community so popular is essential if you’re hoping to buy here, or if you’re using Watermark as your benchmark while shopping Avenir’s other builders. Let’s walk through the model homes that defined this neighborhood and help you figure out which layout — if you can find it — fits your life.

Why Watermark Still Matters in 2026 (Even Sold Out)

Toll Brothers’ Watermark community sold through its original allocation of homesites faster than almost anyone in Avenir anticipated, and resales are now trading with real momentum. Recent resale activity shows homes like a 5-bedroom, 5-bath, 3,953-square-foot residence listed at $1,299,995 (roughly $328 per square foot), and similar Watermark homes have traded near $1,570,000 for comparable square footage — a clear signal that this product is holding and appreciating well above its original “from the $800s” starting price point.

For buyers, that means two things. First, if you want a brand-new Toll Brothers home in Avenir today, your best bet is touring Regency by Toll Brothers or Windgate, both of which remain active with new inventory. Second, if your heart is set specifically on Watermark’s floor plans and its ideal position within the Avenir site plan, you’ll want a broker who understands resale timing, because these homes don’t sit on the market long. That’s exactly the kind of guidance Jean Taveras and the team at Atlis Realty provide every week to buyers evaluating Watermark by Toll Brothers.

Touring the Watermark Model Homes: One-Story vs. Two-Story

One of the most common questions we get from buyers researching Watermark is simple: one-story or two-story? Toll Brothers designed this community with both options in mind, and each has a distinct personality.

The one-story (ranch-style) plans appeal strongly to multigenerational families, empty nesters planning ahead, and buyers who simply prefer the ease of single-level living. These layouts typically emphasize an open great room connected to the kitchen and covered lanai, with a split-bedroom design that tucks the primary suite away from secondary bedrooms — ideal if you have visiting in-laws or older children who want their own wing.

The two-story plans, like the Jennings — a 4-bedroom, 4-bathroom design starting around 3,789 square feet — give growing families more separation between entertaining space downstairs and private bedrooms upstairs. We consistently hear from buyers that the two-story layouts feel larger for the same footprint, thanks to the vertical volume in the great room and staircase areas, and they tend to command strong resale interest because of that flexibility.

So which is “better” in 2026? Honestly, it depends on your stage of life. Families with school-age kids at nearby Palm Beach Gardens schools often gravitate toward the two-story plans for the bonus loft or flex space. Buyers prioritizing long-term aging-in-place or frequent multigenerational visits tend to lean one-story. If you’re not sure, that’s precisely why an in-person tour matters more than photos — the flow of a home reveals itself when you walk it.

Signature Floor Plans Worth Knowing

While exact plan availability shifts constantly in the resale market, a few Watermark layouts have earned reputations as community favorites:

• The Jennings — A 4-bedroom, 4-bath two-story design from approximately 3,789 square feet, known for its generous owner’s suite and versatile upstairs bonus room, often converted into a media room or home office.
• The community’s most popular plan (per recent resale listings) features 5 bedrooms and 5 bathrooms across roughly 3,953–3,960 square feet, with recent resales priced between $1.3M and $1.57M depending on lot premium, upgrades, and water or preserve views.
• Smaller-footprint one-story plans, designed for buyers who want the Avenir lifestyle without maintaining a 4,000-square-foot home — these tend to move quickly when they hit the resale market.

Each Toll Brothers plan at Watermark also came with structural and design options at the time of original sale — extended lanais, summer kitchens, upgraded primary bathrooms, and flex rooms that could become a study, playroom, or fifth bedroom. When evaluating a resale, it’s worth asking which options the original buyer selected, since that materially affects both livability and value.

How Watermark Compares to Other Avenir Communities

Context matters when you’re deciding where to put your money in Avenir. Here’s how Watermark stacks up against its neighbors as of late 2026:

• Regency by Toll Brothers — Avenir’s 55+ Toll Brothers community, with new construction currently priced from the $700s. If you want new-build pricing with the Toll Brothers quality you loved at Watermark, Regency is the place to look, though it’s age-restricted. Explore the Regency at Avenir community page for current plans.
• Windgate by Toll Brothers — Another active Toll Brothers offering in Avenir for families still seeking new construction with similar craftsmanship to Watermark.
• L’Ambiance by Kolter Homes — A boutique gated enclave with 7 floor plans ranging 1,968–3,932 square feet, priced between $815K and $2.48M, offering more than 25 structural options per plan for buyers who want deep customization.
• Panther National at Avenir — At the ultra-luxury end, with a median resale price around $5.03M and roughly $807 per square foot over the trailing 12 months — a different buyer profile entirely, built around golf and exclusivity.

Seeing Watermark alongside these options helps clarify its sweet spot: family-sized homes, Toll Brothers build quality, and a price point that — even in resale — remains more accessible than Avenir’s ultra-luxury tier.

Location Within Avenir — and the Palm Beach Gardens Lifestyle

Part of what makes Watermark’s floor plans feel so livable is where they sit on the Avenir site plan. Residents enjoy quick access to Avenir’s growing network of parks, trails, and the community’s signature lake and preserve views — many Watermark homesites back up to water or conservation areas, which is a major reason resale premiums have held strong.

From a day-to-day living standpoint, Watermark residents are minutes from PGA Boulevard’s retail and dining corridor, giving easy access to The Gardens Mall, Downtown at the Gardens, and an ever-expanding list of restaurants without needing to leave Palm Beach Gardens. I-95 access from Northlake Boulevard and PGA Boulevard puts commuters within reach of West Palm Beach, Jupiter, and the broader Palm Beach County job market in well under 20 minutes under normal traffic. And for weekend plans, the Atlantic beaches of Juno Beach and Palm Beach Gardens’ own coastline are a straightforward 15–20 minute drive east — a huge quality-of-life factor for families who want both suburban space and beach access.

Add in Avenir’s planned amenity campus — parks, recreation space, and future retail — and you can see why families who tour Watermark so often end up expanding their search to the full list of Avenir builders once they understand the master plan’s long-term vision.

What Buyers Should Do Next If They Want Watermark

Because Watermark is sold out of new construction, timing and local knowledge matter more than ever. Resale inventory can appear and go under contract within days, especially for the most popular 5-bedroom plans. Here’s our practical advice as of October 2026:

• Get pre-approved before you start touring, so you can move quickly when the right resale listing appears.
• Work with someone who tracks Watermark resale activity specifically, not just general Avenir listings — pricing per square foot varies meaningfully based on lot location, upgrades, and which original floor plan was built.
• Compare against active new-construction options at Regency and Windgate if you’re open to a different Toll Brothers community with similar design DNA.
• Walk the actual home, not just photos. Floor plan flow, natural light, and lanai orientation vary even within the same model.

This is exactly the kind of hands-on guidance Jean Taveras provides buyers every week — tracking what’s actually available in Avenir right now, not just what’s listed online.
