Lake Belvedere Estates offers suburban living near West Palm Beach

Centrally located next to two lakes, a park and a botanical garden, Lake Belvedere Estates is a suburban neighborhood just 7 miles from West Palm Beach. “You know when people are talking about a neighborhood with the perfect location near everything? That’s Lake Belvedere Estates,” says Loodmy Jacques, a real estate agent with Keller Williams with over a decade of experience. “You have the turnpike on your west side and the airport on your east side, so transportation is pretty easy.” Lake Belvedere Estates is also less than 10 miles from the shopping and dining scene in Downtown West Palm Beach. “You’re close to everything, and the price range is good for a first-time homebuyer,” says Donna Galloway, a broker with Golden Sands South Florida Realty, Inc.

Ranch-style homes and gated communities with more modern builds

Potential buyers will find a mix of ranch-style homes built in the 1960s and ‘70s in Lake Belvedere Estates. “These are single-story homes with quarter- or half-acre lots,” Jacques says. “Lake Belvedere Estates is also one of the few neighborhoods in the area that doesn’t have an HOA, so there’s a bit more freedom there.” While most homes have lightly colored exteriors, some take advantage of the fact that there is no HOA and are painted in vibrant shades of blue, pink or yellow. Home prices typically range from $400,000 to $500,000. “That’s affordable for Florida right now, so it’s a good starter place for first-time homebuyers,” Galloway says.

The gated communities of Independence Point and Independence Cove are on the neighborhood's west side. “These are newer homes with more of a modern look. They really appeal to people who want that sense of privacy,” Jacques says. Independence Point's Mediterranean-inspired houses sell for $450,000 to $600,000, while Independence Cove is a townhouse development where prices range from $350,000 to $500,000. Both communities have mandatory HOAs with monthly fees. Sunterra is another gated community in the area where single-family homes rarely come on the market and sell between $450,000 and $700,000.

The 23-acre Haverhill Park is by the neighborhood's east side and has lighted sports facilities for raquetball, tennis and basketball.

Independence Cove and Independence Point have amenities such as an outdoor pool, playground and tennis court, while Sunterra residents also have a community pool and clubhouse. The 1,700-acre Okeeheelee Nature Park is one of the largest parks in South Florida with various athletic facilities, an equestrian center and miles of biking and walking trails. The park also has multiple lakes for water skiing, fishing and paddle boating. PopStroke's two mini-golf courses are also popular in the area, and the sands and surfing of Palm Beach are less than 10 miles east.
