Low-rise condos and lakefront views
The community’s housing is a collection of low-rise condominium buildings spread out across glistening canals and towering palm trees. The buildings were initially built in the 1960s and 70s, but serious renovations have modernized many units. All condos contain one to two bedrooms and range between 500 and 1,500 square feet. Smaller units begin pricing for $80,000, while larger, lakefront residences can top $250,000. Each condominium building has its own HOA, and the majority of residents own their own homes.

Palm Beach International Airport is conveniently located 4.5 miles from the neighborhood. Florida’s Turnpike runs parallel along the western border, but traffic can sometimes get noisy.
