Latitude II vs Nautical: Comparing Both Everton Floor Plans

Everton has two floor plans, the Latitude II and the Nautical, and on paper they are almost the same home. Both are three bedrooms, two and a half bathrooms, a one-car garage, and two stories. The published difference is two hundred square feet. That is the whole decision, and it is a decision you make standing inside them, not reading a spec sheet.

The quick comparison

Pulte publishes one square-footage figure for each plan. There is no separate air-conditioned and total-under-roof number, and no published room measurements for either plan. We are not going to invent them.

What the two plans share

Both plans are laid out the same way, and Pulte's own flooring specification tells you what rooms exist: a foyer, a hall, a kitchen, a gathering room, a powder bath, an owner's bath, a secondary bath, and a laundry.

Read that list again, and the shape of the home appears. You enter into a foyer. The kitchen and the gathering room are one open space. The half bath and the laundry are downstairs. All three bedrooms are upstairs, sharing the owner's bath and the secondary bath.

That downstairs half bath matters more than people expect. It means guests never go up to the bedroom level.

Where the two hundred square feet goes

This is the honest part. Pulte does not publish room dimensions, so nobody—not us, not a portal, not a listing site—can tell you exactly which rooms are bigger on the Nautical.

What we can tell you is that the extra space is not extra rooms. The bedroom count, the bathroom count, and the garage count are identical. So the two hundred feet are spread through the rooms that already exist. In a townhome of this size, that usually shows up most in the gathering room and the owner's suite, because those are the two spaces that absorb width.

The only way to know how it feels is to stand in both. That is a twenty-minute visit.

Which one should you look at first?

Look at the Latitude II first if:

• You are buying your first home, and the monthly payment is the thing that decides it

• You live mostly in the kitchen, and you do not host large groups

• You want to be in the community, and the size difference is not worth the price difference to you

Look at the nautical first if:

• You work from home and need one bedroom to function as an office without feeling cramped

• You host—a bigger gathering room is what you are actually buying

• You are moving out of a single-family home and want the step-down to feel smaller

Walk both if you are genuinely unsure, which is most people. Two hundred square feet sounds like a rounding error on paper and does not feel like one in person.

What comes standard in either one?

The included features are the same across both plans, and they are better than most buyers expect at this price point. Silestone countertops in the kitchen and the bathrooms with undermount sinks. Stainless Whirlpool appliances. MasterBrand cabinets with crown molding. Tile flooring through the whole downstairs and every bath and laundry.

Structurally: impact-resistant windows and doors throughout, a concrete tile roof, steel-reinforced concrete block construction, a brick paver driveway, and a Carrier 15+ SEER2 air conditioning system with R-30 ceiling insulation.

Impact glass being standard is the one people miss. It is not an upgrade here. We go through all of it on what comes standard at Everton and what the warranty covers.

The one-car garage

Both plans have a one-car garage. That is normal for townhomes in this size range in Palm Beach County, but it is worth saying plainly rather than letting you discover it at the model.

If you have two vehicles, one lives in the garage and one lives on the driveway. The driveway is brick paver, and it is part of the standard package.

How they sit against other Palm Beach townhomes

Everton is gated, and Pulte states there are no CDD fees. Compare that to the other new townhome communities in the county, and the picture gets clearer.

D.R. Horton's Lakeside Landing in Royal Palm Beach has the same bedroom, bathroom, and garage counts, but both of its plans are smaller than either Everton's plan. Their Vintage Oaks in Palm Beach Gardens is gated and runs larger, and one plan there adds a third full bathroom—but it costs well over a hundred thousand dollars more, and D.R. Horton lists its pool, clubhouse, and lot as still coming.

If a third full bathroom is what you actually need, Vintage Oaks may be your answer instead of Everton. We will tell you that on the phone rather than after you have made an offer.

Both model homes are in the same community, so comparing them is one trip, not two. Call 561-704-0091 or book at nationalhousesearch.com/schedule, and we will set it up.

A word on how townhomes actually live

If you are moving from a single-family house, the adjustment at Everton is not the square footage. It is the vertical layout and the shared wall.

Vertical means your living space and your sleeping space are on different floors. Most people find that they like it—the downstairs stays a public space and the upstairs stays private—but it does mean stairs several times a day. Worth thinking about honestly if that matters to you now or might in ten years.

The shared wall is the other one. Everton is concrete block construction, which handles sound far better than wood frame, and the impact windows are laminated, which cuts outside noise as well. But a townhome is still attached. Stand in a model, close the door, and listen.

What to bring when you visit

A tape measure, the dimensions of the furniture you are keeping, and a list of what is standard at every other community you are considering. Pulte does not publish room measurements for either Everton plan, so the tape measure is doing real work here rather than being a nice-to-have.

Bring the standard-features list too. The comparison that actually saves money is not price against price—it is price against what is included at that price. A community that looks cheaper often is not, once impact glass and a paver driveway get added back in.
