Attainable · Central · Family-scale
One of the most attainable cities in central Palm Beach County, sitting between Wellington and the coast. Greenacres is where a lot of first-time buyers get their start — and where we place plenty of them.
Greenacres sits in the geographic middle of the county's populated area — Lake Worth Road and Forest Hill Boulevard run through it, Wellington is to the west, Lake Worth Beach and the Intracoastal to the east. It grew rapidly in the 1980s and 90s, which means much of the housing stock is from that era: single-family homes, villas and condos in planned communities with lakes and amenities.
What Greenacres offers is access. The Turnpike, I-95, Palm Beach International Airport and the beaches are all within a reasonable drive, and the price of entry has stayed below the neighboring communities. For first-time buyers, VA buyers and anyone who wants a central address without a coastal premium, it belongs on the list.
Greenacres consistently offers some of the most accessible single-family and villa pricing in central Palm Beach County.
Central to the county, with the Turnpike, I-95 and the airport all close.
Gated communities, 55-plus sections, condos, villas and conventional family neighborhoods within a small city.
A large gated community with lakes, a clubhouse and a mix of single-family homes and villas. One of the best-known addresses in the city.
Established family neighborhood with conventional single-family homes and a lower-key feel. Frequently the entry point for buyers moving up from renting.
Lake-oriented single-family community with well-kept common areas and homes that suit growing families.
Condo and villa communities that offer the lowest-maintenance and most attainable ownership in the city — popular with downsizers and first-time buyers alike.
Much of Greenacres was built in the 1980s and 90s, so roof age, plumbing and the electrical panel are the questions that decide insurability and cost. We ask them before you fall for the kitchen.
Condo and villa buyers: the association's budget, reserves and any pending assessments matter more than the unit's finishes. We read the documents with you.
Greenacres is a strong market for FHA and VA financing. We work with lenders who know the county's programs and close these loans routinely.
It is one of the most common places we place them. The combination of attainable pricing, central location and a mix of home types — including condos and villas — gives first-time buyers more options than in most neighboring cities.
Lake Worth Beach is roughly fifteen to twenty minutes east along Lake Worth Road, depending on traffic. Downtown West Palm Beach is a similar distance to the northeast.
