A centrally-located, stable environment

The quiet neighborhood of Abbey Park is far enough removed from the excitement of the beach that residents have a hard time leaving once they settle in. In fact, homes in the neighborhood only occasionally go on the market. And when they do, they often sell quickly. “When you’re focused on work or on raising a family, you need a stable environment that’s centrally located,” says Maria Cordero, a local Realtor and broker with American First Class Realty. “Abbey Park is that place.” In close proximity to a variety of eateries, markets and thoroughfares, this community of villas and condos is nothing if not comfortably convenient.

Abbey Park’s gated subdivisions

As an almost exclusively residential neighborhood, Abbey Park’s gated subdivisions are often paired with homeowners associations. The stucco Spanish Revival villas, townhomes and condominiums are commonly priced between $150,000 and $350,000, sometimes including outdoor pools and grills. Developments like Villa Pointe feature small waterways, complementing the neighborhood’s tropical flora. Meanwhile, renter communities like Pinnacle boast expansive parking lots for tenants’ convenience. “In Abbey Park, residents don’t have to worry about late-night revels or strangers stopping their kids,” Cordero explains. The area’s quiet ambiance is attractive for homebuyers and renters looking to call the West Palm Beach suburbs home.

Sunshine Flea Market and the go-to Jamaican eatery

Situated along Forest Hill Boulevard, Abbey Park gives its residents easy access to various unique and chain retail outlets and eateries.

Golfing and wakeboarding at Okeeheelee Park

Those looking to bask in South Florida’s year-round heat can travel less than 5 miles west to Okeeheelee Park, a 1,700-acre green space with a wide array of outdoor recreational activities. Shark Wake Park, for example, is situated on Okeeheelee’s massive lake. The water park hosts an annual summer camp for kids, as well as daily kneeboarding, wakeboarding and more. Folks are also welcome to fish or launch canoes and kayaks from the Okeeheelee Pier. Okeeheelee Golf Course is a public facility with three nine-hole courses, a driving range and a practice putting green. Those looking to take it easy, however, can enjoy the park’s 8 miles of walking and biking paths. Brandon Equestrian Center is on site, featuring two permanent barns and 9 miles of equestrian trails. Folks can also head east to Lake Lytal Park, which offers multiuse fields, courts and an Olympic-sized swimming pool for competitive aquatics.
