55+ communities in West Palm Beach, Florida
Active adult and age-restricted communities in West Palm Beach, what they cost, and how they compare against west Boynton Beach.
The West Palm Beach 55+ market
West Palm Beach gives you genuine city amenities alongside 55+ living: the Kravis Center, Clematis Street, CityPlace, the waterfront, and Palm Beach International Airport close enough that visiting family is straightforward. For buyers who fly often or who want culture within a short drive, that combination is hard to match further south.
Baywinds is the community that comes up most often, with both single-family homes and villas. There is also substantial active adult condominium inventory across the city at price points well below the west Boynton single-family market.
The trade against Boynton and Delray is the clubhouse. West Palm 55+ communities are generally smaller and less amenity-heavy than the big GL Homes properties. If the resort clubhouse is the point of the move, look south. If the city is the point, look here.

What to check before you commit, anywhere
The community's current association budget, the most recent reserve study, and twelve months of board minutes. The monthly fee tells you very little on its own. The reserve position tells you whether a special assessment is coming. I pull and read all three for every client.
