The Village of Palm Springs is a residential community of roughly 27,000 in Palm Beach County. Despite being 5 miles from Lake Worth Beach, the landlocked village offers a beach-town vibe, the sea breeze a constant reminder of how close paradise is. It’s also central, close to Palm Beach International Airport, Interstate 95 and the rapidly growing West Palm Beach. The community’s central location, small-town charm and vacay vibes might be why, between 2013 and 2023, the city’s population swelled by more than 40%. “It’s definitely more crowded in the winter,” says local Rhonda Townsend, a Realtor with Re/Max Excellence. “But it’s not like when I first came here. Back then, there was no one out in the summertime. Now, it’s still quiet, which I like, but there’s plenty to do.”
The leading industries in Palm Springs are construction, retail trade, administrative support and waste management services. Healthcare is close behind, and HCA Florida JFK Hospital is only 3 miles away.

Palm Springs has condos and HOA-free houses
The median price for homes in Palm Springs is around $280,000, around $140,000 less than the national average. More than half of the current listings are condos and 55-plus communities, but Townsend says the city has a bit of everything – condos, townhouses, and single-family homes. “There isn’t a huge turnover or anything, but it is Florida,” she says with a laugh. “People stay, they know their neighbors… it’s a family-oriented community with a more suburban feel.” While most condo communities like Lakeside Village cropped up between the 1970s and early ‘80s, most of the single-family homes were built decades earlier. Midcentury ranch-style homes and cottages are popular across the city and are typically HOA-free. The median cost for single-family homes is just under $460,000, which is higher than the national median.
Flood insurance is recommended across Palm Beach County. “In South Florida, the winters are warm and beautiful,” Townsend says. “The summers get hot and humid, and the hurricanes, well, they’re just a part of life down here.” Hurricane season ranges from early June to late November on the Atlantic coast.
Large Mediterranean style family homes are also popular in Forest Hill neighborhood.

Golfing galore and The Village of Palm Springs Complex
“Palm Springs doesn't have any golf courses, but within 10 minutes, you could be at four or five different golf courses,” Townsend says. The private clubs, Lost City Golf Club and Trump International Golf Club West Palm Beach are about a mile outside city limits, and West Palm Beach Golf Course is a popular public option. As for what’s in town, there are a few neighborhood parks, but the main hangout is The Village Center Complex, a roughly 4-acre stretch packed with amenities, from batting cages to mini-golf. “They have their own recreation department, and they’re big on youth sports,” Townsend says. Between December and March, the park hosts a Saturday morning Green Market, bringing fresh produce and artisan goods to the community.
