Briar Bay

It's a practical central West Palm Beach location with strong water access — 14 of 24 active listings are waterfront — and pools on most homes. You're close to established communities like Cresthaven and city amenities without the downtown premium, which suits buyers who want convenience and value together.

It's mid-range for the area, with a median list price of $454,500 and homes selling at a median of $342,000 over the past year. Prices span $195,000 to $896,500, so there's a real entry point at the lower end and no ultra-luxury tier — there are currently zero listings above $1M.

The median list is $454,500, and homes trade at about $248 per square foot for a median size around 1,616 square feet. Over the last 12 months, 18 homes sold at a median of $342,000, so the sold data runs a bit below current asking prices.

It's steady and balanced. Homes are taking a median of 42 days to sell and sellers are getting about 98% of their asking price, which points to fair negotiating room without a race to the bottom. With 24 active listings, buyers have real choice — see current options on the live map.

Median property tax in Briar Bay runs about $6,994 per year. HOA figures aren't consistently reported across the area, so confirm dues on a per-community basis — seven of the active listings are in gated communities, which typically carry association fees worth reviewing before you offer.
