Imagine escaping
the hustle bustle of big city life, riding off into the sunset, and stumbling
upon a little bit of country charm. There is such a place, the Western
Communities of West Palm Beach. Located only minutes from the ocean, nestled
among palms and pines, the Villages of Royal Palm Beach and Wellington,
and the open spaces of Loxahatchee and The Acreage await your discovery.
Village
of Royal Palm Beach
Royal Palm Beach is an incorporated village within Palm Beach County's
Western Communities. It is governed by a Mayor and a City Council and
provides municipal and utility services for its residents. A great diversity
of housing opportunities are available in the Village of Royal Palm Beach,
a thriving municipality since 1959. There's something for everyone, from
young families to active retirees, in the Village's many neighborhoods.
Totally maintained condominium communities feature recreational activities
for active residents. Many single family homes, from first-time to deluxe,
make up the Village's active neighborhoods.
The
Acreage
The Acreage, located just north of the Village limits, consists of one
and a quarter plus homesites with both paved and unpaved roads, This area
is home to those who value open spaces, and the convenience of city living.
35,000 residents now live in The Acreage.
Home of
one of Florida's most highly rated elementary schools. Two middle schools
also serve the communities and a new high school just opened in Royal
Palm Beach in 1997. Major shopping centers, supermarkets and restaurants
are placed throughout the Village.

Village
of Wellington
A planned community of over 18,000 acres, Wellington offers neighborhoods
in all price ranges. From condominiums, town homes and villas, to single
family residences and estate homes, almost anyone can find their "dream".
Wellington offers bike paths, jogging trails, neighborhood parks and recreation
areas, a centerpiece lake, along with a number of renowed golf courses
and country clubs. Incorporated as a Village in 1995, Wellington became
the 7th largest city in Palm Beach County. Over 30,000 people (34,000
in the winter season) are currently enjoying the kind of lifestyle most
people only dream about. When the entire community is completed, a maximum
population of 60,000 is expected.

the major denominations. Two major hospitals serve the Western Communities.

events.
Loxahatchee
This countryside residential area, known locally as the last frontier,
is home to those who prefer wide open spaces with a "Home in the
Country" feeling. Homesites range from a quarter acre to ten plus
acres, so there's plenty of room for nature lovers, horse and cattle grazing,
nursery growers and quiet uncongested living. With many of the side roads
primarily unpaved, traffic stays on main thoroughfares. Single family
homes are available in a great variety of price ranges. The lifestyle
is unstructured and fits the tastes of those who love the country life.
