Lake Charleston
Suburban Neighborhood in West Palm Beach, Florida
Palm Beach County 33467
Roomy Spanish eclectic homes
Lake Charleston’s leafy, suburban landscape spans over 1,100 acres of homes and lakes. Typical of Florida’s master-planned communities, especially those built in the 1990s, the neighborhood features Spanish eclectic single-family homes, complete with earthy tones, stucco siding, barrel roof tiles and elegant arches. These single-family properties are roomy, ranging from 1,800 to 3,400 square feet. Built-in garages and driveways are standard. In-ground backyard pools aren’t standard but are common. List prices range from $440,000 to $770,000 for single-family residences. A small selection of villas and townhouses crop up on the market occasionally, ranging from $360,000 to $500,000. “Homes retain their value here because the community goes above and beyond to maintain them,” Davis says. “This is why I also recommend Lake Charles to first-time homebuyers.”Recreation in and around Lake Charleston
There’s plenty to do outdoors here. Residents fish in one of the neighborhood’s seven stocked lakes and have easy access to one of the neighborhood’s three playgrounds. Meanwhile, Lake Charleston Park has baseball diamonds for aspiring big leaguers and tennis courts for the few adults left not into pickleball. The neighborhood also features two community pools, perfect for cooling off. And some residents have memberships with The Falls Club of Palm Beaches, a nearby country club that is home to an array of amenities, including an 18-hole championship golf course.The School District of Palm Beach County
Lake Charleston residents are served by the School District of Palm Beach County. Gifted students and those interested in the arts will find special programs meant just for them at Manatee Elementary, rated A-minus. Other schools that serve the community include Christa McAuliffe Middle, rated A-minus, and Park Vista Community High, rated A and ranked No. 7 on Niche’s list of Palm Beach County’s best public high schools. High school students at Park Vista have a variety of athletics to enrich their school days with, from cross country, golf and swimming in the fall to baseball, beach volleyball and lacrosse in the spring.Getting in and out of Lake Charleston
Lake Charleston is in an unincorporated, car-dependent area. Hagen Ranch, Hypoluxo, Lantana and Jog Road are the area’s main thoroughfares.

The closest airport, Palm Beach International Airport, is 13 miles away.Charleston Square
Charleston Square is a convenient commercial hub on the corner of Hypoluxo and Jog Road. Only a short drive from the neighborhood, this shopping center has a Winn-Dixie, bank, animal hospital, gas station and more. Fiorella Italian Restaurant, a family-owned favorite, is in the heart of the neighborhood, allowing residents to walk or bike in for dinner.
