Golfview Heights
Revitalized mid-century homes
These homes come in the form of ranch-style houses built in the 1950s and 60s, showcased through front picture windows and carports. Lengthwise positioning gives them curb appeal that can be appreciated from the community’s sidewalks, which have stately palm trees sprinkled throughout. Depending on size and condition, those looking to purchase a home within Golfview Heights can expect a price range from $250,000 to $450,000.

Along Cherry Road are several bus stops provided by the Palm Tran system, which carries passengers to surrounding areas like West Palm Beach and Palm Beach International Airport, which borders the community directly to the south. Trips to HCA Florida JFK Hospital along South Congress Avenue, while Southwestern College–West Palm Beach classes sit less than a mile north.

Dining and shopping along North Military Trail
Though Golfview Heights is small, it doesn’t lack conveniences. A Walmart Supercenter sits at the intersection of North Military Trail and Belvedere Road for all grocery needs. Further north along North Military Road sits a dozen fast-food joints, retailers and lounges to explore. Meanwhile, live music and Dominican cuisine can be enjoyed just east at the local favorite Mar D’Plata Dominican Restaurant & Bar in Palm Beach Commons.

Poker nights at Palm Beach Kennel Club
Another main attraction in the neighborhood is the Palm Beach Kennel Club at the Belvedere Road and North Congress Avenue crossroads. The club draws patrons from around the region with live greyhound racing, poker tournaments, and off-track betting. Its onsite restaurant and event venue also host numerous concerts throughout the year. Within the neighborhood, residents can enjoy Golfview Heights Park, a small green space with a picnic shelter and a playground to explore.

Derek Harper Holiday Tournament
Young students will head to West Gate Elementary School, which sits just north of the neighborhood and has a C grade from Niche. Older students will attend Jeaga Middle School, which has also been given a C from Niche, before heading to Palm Beach Lakes Community High School which has a C-plus. The home of the Rams hosts the annual Derek Harper Holiday Tournament, which welcomes teams from surrounding counties and thousands of supporters.

The Annual Westgate Turkey Shoot
The Westgate Parks and Recreation Center hosts the Annual Westgate Turkey Shoot each year. Here, neighbors of all ages come together to compete in a series of games like a turkey hunt, turkey sack race and a three-point shooting contest, with winners taking home a free turkey to cook on Thanksgiving.The sounds of Palm Beach International Airport
“Golfview Heights is on the corporate side of the airport,” Williams says. “Private jets that fly in and out of there are required to have silencers, which cut the noise down significantly." However, this does not fully eliminate the noise of non-corporate flights coming in and out, which should be considered by those who are sensitive to overhead noise before purchasing a home in the community.
