Stamford, Wellesley and the Villas: One Community, Three Sections

Sunset Trace was built in phases inside Martin Downs in the 1980s, and each phase was platted under its own name. Stamford and Wellesley are the two-story townhome sections, typically 2 bedrooms and 2.5 baths on roughly 1,200 to 1,400 square feet. The Villas at Sunset Trace are single-story attached homes, usually 3 bedrooms and 2 baths with a garage. Listing agents file homes under whichever plat name they pick, so searching a single name can miss half the community. The feed on this page is set up to show them all.

What the HOA Covers

Attached homes live and die by their association, and Sunset Trace's dues are on the higher side for Palm City because they carry a lot: recent listings describe the guard gate, lawn care and irrigation, roof cleaning, exterior painting, cable TV and internet as included. That changes the real monthly cost comparison against a detached home with a low HOA, where you pay for lawn, cable and exterior upkeep yourself. Get the current budget, reserves and insurance details from the association before you commit.

What to Check Before You Buy in Sunset Trace

Association finances Ask for the budget, reserve study, insurance master policy and any pending special assessments. Lenders ask for the same.
Roof and exterior Confirm what the association maintains versus what the owner is responsible for, and when the building was last re-roofed and painted.
Rentals and pets Listings mention pet breed restrictions. Ask about rental minimums if you plan to lease.
Flood zone and insurance Lakefront units are popular; check the flood zone and get an insurance quote early.

If you are financing, call before you write an offer. Attached-home loans depend on the association as much as on you, and we can check both. We are a RE/MAX agent and a licensed loan officer.
