Where Golf Course Living Meets Genuine Community
Palm Beach Gardens sits at the northern end of South Florida's Gold Coast — a planned city of 63,000 that manages to feel both resort-like and rooted. Built around championship golf courses, nature preserves, and master-planned communities, this is where executives, retirees, and families with serious resources come to live — not just vacation.

The Market Right Now
After the post-2020 surge that saw prices jump 40–50%, Palm Beach Gardens has moderated into a buyer's market. Inventory is up over 500%, homes are selling 3–5% below asking, and multiple-offer situations are rare. For buyers, this is the opportunity — especially in the luxury tier above $2M, where motivated sellers in Old Palm, Mirasol, and The Bear's Club are pricing to move.
The Communities
- PGA National Resort & Spa — Five championship courses including The Champion. $300K condos to $3M+ estates. Resort amenities — spa, tennis, dining — available to all residents.
- Old Palm Golf Club — Ultra-luxury. Raymond Floyd course, 325 estates on up to an acre. $2.5M–$28M. 10,000+ sqft custom builds. Membership required.

- Evergrene — Newer, built around preserves and lakes. $500K–$1.5M. Popular with younger families and professionals.
Schools
- Marsh Pointe Elementary — A-rated, STEM-focused
- Watson B. Duncan Middle School — A-rated, IB program
- William T. Dwyer High School — A-rated, strong athletics and AP
- Benjamin School (private) — Pre-K through 12, one of Palm Beach County's most prestigious
School quality is the primary driver for relocation — families from New York, New Jersey, and Connecticut consistently cite A-rated schools, no state income tax, and resort-quality lifestyle as deciding factors.
