A small community within a metro area

To the northwest of West Palm Beach is the small community of Mangonia Park, named after the town’s history of growing mangos in abundance in the early 20th century. The people who live here enjoy a slower pace in an area that’s also very close to the city. “It’s a small community that has its own government separate from West Palm Beach,” says Cole Leavitt, a Realtor with CPRE Organization with nearly 15 years of experience. “In a lot of ways, that’s a big advantage.”

Nearby lake

While the Atlantic Ocean is close, fishing opportunities are even closer at Lake Mangonia, a 500-plus-acre boating and fishing destination. Largemouth bass and channel catfish can be snared at this scenic spot. A boat ramp for the lake is located on Australian Avenue. The City of West Palm Beach uses the lake to host its summer youth and adult sailing programs. Addie L. Greene Park has a picnic pavilion, athletic fields, a basketball court and a playground within Mangonia Park. The picnic pavilion can be rented out for large gatherings.

Renovation opportunities and new townhouses

Some midcentury ranch-style and duplex homes in the neighborhood have been renovated, and some are ripe for investors to come in and do some sprucing up. “One of the advantages of being in a small community is that the government here understands properties much more than a bigger city government would,” Leavitt says. “As long as you’re making improvements up to code, there aren’t as many hurdles to clear.” The prices range from $300,000 to $500,000, with between 1,000 and 1,800 square feet of space and as many as four bedrooms. The Enclave at Mangonia Park is a gated townhouse community built in 2022. The three-bedroom contemporary-style units are priced between $400,000 and $500,000.
