Palm Beach Gardens High School

It's a strong fit for families and anyone who wants suburban South Florida with water access — 372 of the 723 active listings are waterfront and 553 have pools. The zone feeds respected schools like Osceola Creek Middle School, which is a big part of why buyers put down roots here. You get established neighborhoods with an easy reach to the coast.

It's a mid-to-upper market: the median list price is $599,999 and the median home sold over the past year for $556,250. There's a wide spread, though — active listings range from $8,200 to nearly $20 million, and 233 homes are priced at $1M and up, so both entry buyers and luxury buyers have options.

Expect around $488 per square foot on average, with a median home size near 1,596 square feet. The $599,999 median list price reflects a lot of pool and waterfront inventory, and you can find homes well below that or push into the seven figures depending on the neighborhood.

It's balanced and gives buyers time to think — the median days on market is 66 and sellers are averaging 96% of asking. With 394 homes sold in the past 12 months against 723 active listings today, there's healthy supply, so well-priced negotiating tends to work.

The median HOA runs about $367 per month, though it varies widely since only 111 of the active listings are in gated communities and many homes carry no HOA at all. Median property tax is around $5,836 per year, and if you're weighing renting first, the median rent is $3,250 a month.
