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.

West Palm Beach sits less than 10 miles from the neighborhood, and residents are able to avoid major highways to reach the city center.
