Ranchette comprises several smaller subdivisions and communities, with everything from gated communities to mobile home parks, each with a distinct character contributing to the neighborhood's landscape. While the neighborhood is entirely residential, many pockets of preserved land remain, so no home is without greenery. All the amenities for the neighborhood are often less than a 5-mile drive away. This can range from a wide variety of shopping and dining options at the local shopping center to one of the largest parks in South Florida. “The community is in a really great area. You can be at the beach in 20 minutes and Wellington to the east in 10 minutes, where there is so much dining and shopping,” says Michelle Gonzalez, the property manager of the Victoria Woods community for over two years.

Okeeheelee Park and local nature hotspots

Okeeheelee Park, one of the largest parks in South Florida, is less than 5 miles away from the neighborhood, with a wide variety of amenities to choose from. The park offers multiple sports fields and 8 miles of walking paths for residents to use. There is also plenty of lake space at the park for fishing and boating, and it is home to an on-the-water waterpark in the summer. “Locals visit there frequently during the day,” Gonzalez says, “it was my go-to park when I lived in the area.” Residents of the Victoria Woods community also have access to Victoria Woods Park, which is a popular spot for both its playset and tennis courts. More natural fun can be found at Pine Jog Environmental Education Center next to the elementary school of the same name. This 135-acre nature reserve offers classes and camps to those wanting to learn more about nature and local wildlife.

Cottages and Florida style tile roofs

Housing is varied in Ranchette, with locals being able to pick from single-family homes, manufactured home communities, condos and townhouses. There are also a variety of gated and planned communities like Joggers Run and Victoria Woods. Housing styles can range from lower ranch-style homes to two-story houses with Spanish-inspired tile roofs and cottages sporting large bay windows. Many homes have either large garages or driveways for cars. “A lot of homes have alleyways in the back and access to lots of greenery,” Gonzalez says. Condos and townhouses commonly range from $200,000 to $250,000 and single-family homes go from $250,000 to around $500,000.

Riverbridge Centere or Trafalgar Square

Almost all shopping and dining are done at Riverbridge Centere or Trafalgar Square, both of which are located at the southwestern end of the neighborhood. Here, locals can eat out at spots like Pete’s Place, which is “a really good breakfast/lunch restaurant,” Gonzalez says. Locals can also stop by local chains like Pollo Tropical, known for its Caribbean chicken and pork. Groceries are available at Supermercados El Bodegon or Publix. The neighborhood also has a Walmart next to the shopping center for big-box purchases.

Greenacres events

Greenacres offers a wide range of events at the nearby Samuel J. Ferreri Community Park to residents of Ranchette and the surrounding neighborhoods. One popular event is the Rock N' Roll Sunday and Greenacres Fire Rescue Chili Cook-Off, which takes place in May and offers a car and motorcycle show, vendor booths, and of course, a whole lot of Rock N’ Roll and chili supporting the Greenacres Fire Rescue Benevolent. At the end of the year, locals can also enjoy Holiday in the Park, which has Christmas tree lightings, performances from local schools and a Santa sighting.

Accessible Florida thoroughfares

With Forest Hill Boulevard lining the southern end of the neighborhood, residents can easily access West Palm Beach and the Atlantic Ocean. Longer trips can be reached via the Florida Turnpike right next to Okeeheelee Park. “In the community itself, there is a lot of walking and cycling,” Gonzalez says. Outside of the community, the neighborhood is more car friendly. For trips outside of the state, Palm Beach International Airport is less than 6 miles away. Wellington Regional Medical Center is 5 miles to the west for medical care.
