Osceola Creek Middle School

It's a family-oriented western Palm Beach Gardens area organized around its schools, with students feeding into Palm Beach Gardens High School. The housing skews toward newer homes with pools — 156 of 213 active listings have one — which appeals to buyers who want space and outdoor living close to the coast.

It sits at the upper end of the county, with a median list price of $959,000 and 97 of the 213 active listings priced above $1M. That said, entry points start around $489,990, so there's room for a range of budgets even within one attendance zone.

The median list price is $959,000 and homes average $402 per square foot on a median size of 2,605 sqft. Actual sold prices ran lower over the past year at a median of $747,750, so what closes often lands below the aspirational asking prices.

It's a measured market — 122 homes sold in the last 12 months and current listings take a median of 59 days to move. Sellers are still getting about 98% of asking on average, which tells you buyers have some negotiating room but nothing is being given away.

The median HOA runs about $367 per month, common in an area with 40 gated communities and many newer developments. Median property taxes come in around $9,949 per year, in line with the higher home values across the zone.
