Each year, more and more people are flocking to the county. Developers Minto, Avenir, GL Homes and more, are planning and breaking ground on inclusive communities with state-of-the-art homes, convenient living and stellar amenities.

Each year, homes are becoming increasingly more elaborate. Older homes, following more of the Florida-style, single level homes, are still available in some communities, whereas homeowner associations are extremely popular, as are gated developments.
Palm Beach County, with 38 villages, cities and incorporated towns, offers every kind of living imaginable. Whether you are looking for an active senior community, somewhere to raise a young family, or somewhere for singles to flourish, the county has a little bit of everything, providing the perfect niche for everyone, regardless of preferences.
