Woodlands Middle School

It's a solid, family-oriented part of west Lake Worth, feeding schools like Highland Elementary School and Lake Worth Community Middle. With 218 of 264 homes offering pools and 78 on the water, the lifestyle leans toward comfortable suburban living. It suits buyers who want space and everyday convenience over a walkable downtown feel.

By South Florida standards it's reasonable — the median list price is $484,750 and homes average $255 per square foot. There's a genuine spread, from an $80,000 entry point up to $2,665,000, so budgets from first-timers to luxury buyers have something to consider. Only 17 active listings cross the $1M mark, keeping most of the market grounded.

Expect a median around $484,750 to list and roughly $518,000 at close over the past year across 185 sales. The median home runs about 1,724 square feet at $255 per foot. New construction is a real option too, with 27 newer homes among the Lake Worth homes for sale.

Balanced and workable for buyers. With 264 active listings and a median 52.5 days on market, homes aren't flying off the shelf, and sellers are accepting about 96% of asking. That gap gives you real negotiating room without the frantic pace some markets see.

The median HOA here runs $584 per month, which reflects how many communities include pools and gated access — 50 of the active listings are gated. Median property tax is a modest $3,434 per year. If you're weighing a rental instead, the median rent is about $2,400 per month.
