Gated community living with a convenient location in Southern Florida
Century Village-West Palm Beach is a 55-plus community in South Florida that is turning up the volume. The complex has the typical amenities of gated living, including swimming pools and a fitness center, but also features a 1,200-seat theatre that hosts touring acts year-round. “They have a show every Saturday night followed by a dance,” says Mike Ryan, resident and sales associate for Highlight Realty, “These people really just rock.” The community has an on-site medical facility and pharmacy, but residents leaving the gates will find they are close to the vibrant shopping and dining areas of West Palm Beach. Homeowners looking to return to their lakefront condos don’t have to worry about getting locked out as the gates are serviced 24 hours a day, providing assistance and security. “This is a very safe place for seniors,” Ryan says.
Entertainment all night long
The usual suspects of a gated community are all accounted for in Century Village-West Palm Beach. Swimming pools, tennis courts and pickleball are available to all residents looking to enjoy the year-round Florida sunshine. The community offers sailboat lessons on the lake for those looking to test their sea legs. Indoor recreation is anchored by the recently renovated clubhouse, offering fitness centers and a state-of-the-art theatre. Local performers frequently make stops, providing residents with entertainment all night long. Newly released movies are another popular event at the theatre. Bookworms can head to the Okeechobee Boulevard Public Library, while the nearby Bear Lakes Country Club is a prime spot to tee off on a Jack-Nicklaus-designed golf course nearby. A day on the beach is always close as the sandy shores of Palm Beach Island are just 7 miles away.
