Quiet 55-plus communities with accessible price points
For those 55 or older looking for a social, reasonably priced senior community with lots of amenities and the option to lease to part-time renters, Cresthaven Boulevard might be an ideal fit. First established in the 1960s, this quiet neighborhood of villas and townhouses was further expanded over the next three decades. “You can find a nice one-bedroom villa here for under $100,000,” says Kelley McDougall, a Realtor with Illustrated Properties LLC who's been selling real estate in the area for 15 years. “Residents tend to be on the lower end of 55-plus, so some come down for the winter only. That’s why leasing options are important to them.” The neighborhood is also conveniently located, less than 10 miles from downtown West Palm Beach, but residents don’t move here to leave. “They come to Cresthaven Boulevard to enjoy the warm weather and spend time together,” McDougall says. “I’d let my mother live there. That’s the best compliment I could ever give to a community.”
Walkable subdivisions chock full of villas and townhouses
While the subdivisions in Cresthaven Boulevard share characteristics like walkability and a Floridian aesthetic due to the palm trees dotted around the area, the early subdivisions here have some essential differences from later ones. The villa-style condos of the first five subsections that were developed – Ashley, Barkley, Crosley, Dudley and Emory – have communal laundry facilities, and Ashley is the only community that allows pets. Homes in these subdivisions list between $86,000 and $250,000 depending on their number of bedrooms, baths and square footage. The villas and townhouses of Fernley and Gately, built in the 1990s, come with their own washers, dryers, and detached garages and are priced between $215,000 and $280,000. Homes throughout Cresthaven Boulevard are moderately priced compared to nearby 55-plus communities like Baywinds or Buena Vida, where the home costs can exceed $500,000.
Single family homes also pepper the Cresthaven Blvd neighborhood.
The Ashley subdivision is characterized by lush greenery and clear blue bodies of water.

Ample amenities for community connection
With the number of amenities and the leasing options available in Cresthaven Boulevard, homes can take on the feel of vacation rentals. Each subdivision has its own community area with a swimming pool, shuffleboard courts and tennis courts — great places to get to know others in the community. Clubhouses have rooms dedicated to billiards, fitness and exercise, card games and crafts. Larger events like diners and dances are held in the auditoriums and draw people together. While there is often a waiting period before homeowners can begin leasing their properties, snowbirds and others who use this benefit often fly the coop during the summer months, bringing in renters and new faces for tennis and card games.

Groceries and local eateries within 2 miles
Food and other conveniences are within driving distance.

Desi Subs & Grill sits at the other end of the strip mall and is described as a hidden gem by regulars who stop by for hearty burgers and Philly cheesesteaks. More shopping options are roughly 2 miles away at the River Bridge Center off Jog Road. There’s a Publix for groceries and a Ross Dress for Less where locals can peruse the aisles for clothes.

Traffic gets heavier as students commute to school
Nearby traffic will pick up as students commute to and from John I. Leonard High School, which sits adjacent to the neighborhood along South Haverhill Road. The school gets a B-minus rating from Niche. It has dozens of clubs available to students, including a jazz-influenced vocal ensemble, a serenity club, and a going green club. Other area students attend Clifford O. Taylor/Kirklane Elementary School and L.C. Swain Middle School, with C and C-plus ratings from Niche, respectively.
Less than 10 miles from West Palm Beach
Public transportation through PalmTran is available at the stops along Cresthaven Boulevard, connecting locals to nearby shopping centers and the Lake Worth Corridor. To access medical services, residents will have to make the nearly 6-mile trip west along Forest Hill Boulevard to Wellington Regional Medical Center. West Palm Beach sits less than 10 miles from the neighborhood, and residents are able to avoid major highways to reach the city center. Snowbirds who want to make the trip back up north after the summer season can travel roughly 6.5 miles north to Palm Beach International Airport or hop on Interstate 95, which is about 5 miles east of Cresthaven Boulevard.
