Resort-style living in a peaceful, family-friendly community

Resort-style amenities and suburban charm come together in Olympia. Tucked in the east side of Wellington, this neighborhood’s homes sit along winding canals and lakes. The neighborhood’s two guard-gated subdivisions – Olympia to the west of Lyons Road and Village Walk to the east – prioritize a lifestyle of comfort and peace of mind. "Olympia is very friendly, pet-friendly and family-oriented. People wave to each other. Every now and then, you'll see someone on a small boat in one of the lakes or by the water fishing with the kids, and you'll wave to them, too," says Chris Chames, Associate Broker with Exit Realty Oceanside. In addition to selling homes nearby, Chames has been an Olympia resident for more than seven years. Olympia’s prime location on the east side of Wellington places it close to prime shopping options, local schools and plentiful recreation.

Ample outdoor amenities encourage an active lifestyle for all ages

Olympia residents have access to an impressive selection of recreational facilities. “Compared to other areas that I looked at, you see way more people walking around here. People are outside all the time. They're riding bicycles, playing tennis, swimming in the pool, working out in the gym," Chames says. Within the neighborhood, the private clubhouse area includes greenspace, a wetland preserve and courts for volleyball, pickleball, tennis and basketball. Close to the neighborhood’s schools, Olympia Park offers facilities for baseball, football, track and more. "Both my sons are in soccer, and Wellington has a great soccer team, so I've been there a lot," Chames says. "It's a really good spot." Just north of the neighborhood, the Banyan Golf Club offers a private 18-hole course with tennis courts and onsite dining. And less than 4 miles northwest of Olympia, Okeheelee Park is one of the West Palm Beach area’s largest recreational areas, with an equestrian center, a 27-hole public golf course, a BMX track and lake access for boating and fishing.
