D.R. Horton's Emerald Series in Palm Beach Gardens: The Vintage Oaks Guide
In this article
Vintage Oaks is a townhome community in Palm Beach Gardens, Florida, built by D.R. Horton under their Emerald Series—the builder's higher-tier brand. It offers four floor plans, all two-story townhomes with 3 bedrooms, a one-car garage, a fenced yard, and a balcony off the second-floor primary bedroom included on every home. It sits on Northlake Boulevard, near the Avenir development but not part of it.
Who D.R. Horton is
D.R. Horton is one of the largest homebuilders in the United States, building across many states at a range of price points. Buying from a large national builder has real trade-offs worth understanding.
Large builders have established warranty programs and standardized construction processes, plus the buying power to keep prices competitive. On the other side, you get less customization than a small custom builder—the process is standardized to keep costs down.
What the Emerald Series actually means
D.R. Horton builds under a few different brand names, each aimed at a different tier. Emerald Series is their higher-tier brand, generally associated with more elevated finishes, design details, and premium locations compared to their standard flagship line.
Vintage Oaks is built under this brand. That's part of why it includes details you don't see at every townhome community—the waterfall-edge countertops, the included balcony, and the fenced yard on every home.
Where Vintage Oaks is
Vintage Oaks is at 11471 Vintage Oaks Circle West, Palm Beach Gardens, FL 33412. Worth knowing: there's a completely unrelated community also called "Vintage Oaks" inside Polo Club in Boca Raton—a different property, a different city, with nothing to do with this one. When researching this specific community, always look for Palm Beach Gardens attached to the name.
You can learn about the city on the [City of Palm Beach Gardens official website](https://www.pbgfl.com/).
The four floor plans
The [Abingdon](https://nationalhousesearch.com/communities/vintage-oaks/plans/abingdon) is about 1,640 square feet. The [Banbury](https://nationalhousesearch.com/communities/vintage-oaks/plans/banbury) is about 1,728. The [Callington](https://nationalhousesearch.com/communities/vintage-oaks/plans/callington) is about 1,803 and the only plan with 3 full bathrooms instead of 2.5. The [Dawley](https://nationalhousesearch.com/communities/vintage-oaks/plans/dawley) is the largest at about 1,871.
All four share the same core Emerald Series features: fenced yard, second-floor balcony, and waterfall-edge countertops in granite or quartz depending on the design package. See our [full four-way comparison](https://nationalhousesearch.com/post/abingdon-banbury-callington-dawley-comparison).
What comes with the home
According to D.R. Horton's own Vintage Oaks community page, homes include waterfall-edge countertops, stainless steel appliances, and D.R. Horton's Home is Connected smart home features, on top of the fenced yard and balcony included on every plan.
Our post on [what comes with a Vintage Oaks home](https://nationalhousesearch.com/post/vintage-oaks-included-features) covers the complete list.
What it costs beyond the price
Every month you also pay property taxes, homeowners insurance, and HOA dues. Property taxes deserve special attention on a new home—last year's bill was based on empty land, and your bill after closing will be based on the finished house.

The Avenir connection
Vintage Oaks sits near Avenir, a large master-planned development also in Palm Beach Gardens—but Vintage Oaks is a separate, standalone community, not part of Avenir's master plan or HOA structure. See our [full breakdown of the real relationship between the two](https://nationalhousesearch.com/post/vintage-oaks-near-avenir) before you assume anything about fees or amenities carries over from one to the other.
What's around it
[Shoppes at Ibis](https://www.crossmanco.com/properties/publix-0651-shoppes-at-ibis/) is the nearby Publix-anchored shopping center on Northlake Boulevard, the same road Vintage Oaks uses for access. For schools, look up your exact address on the [School District of Palm Beach County website](https://www.palmbeachschools.org), since zones are address-based.

Before you visit
Many builders require your agent to register with them at or before your first visit. Ask how registration works before you walk into any sales office.
