What You'll Pay
What does your budget get you here?
Honest ranges, not the headline number on Zillow.
$350K – $550K
Golf Community Condos and Townhomes
Condos and townhomes in communities such as PGA National, The Club at Ibis, or BallenIsles, typically 1–3 bedrooms, 1,000–1,800 sq ft, with access to resort pools, fitness centers, and golf amenities. HOA fees in bundled golf communities can run $800–$1,200/month and meaningfully affect the true monthly cost, verify dues and included amenities before comparing to condo prices in other cities.
$550K – $850K
Single-Family Homes
Single-family homes in Evergrene, Bent Tree, Mirasol's non-golf sections, or newer northern subdivisions. Buyers find 3–4 bedrooms and 1,800–2,800 sq ft, private yards, and proximity to the 10/10-rated elementary schools. This bracket draws the most buyers and moves faster than the condo tier.
$850K – $2.5M+
Premium Golf and Gated Communities
Larger homes in Mirasol, BallenIsles, Old Palm, and Alton's custom-home sections. Buyers find 4–6 bedrooms, 3,000+ sq ft, lake or golf course views, pools, and private club access. New construction at Alton covers the upper end; resale at Mirasol and BallenIsles offers more options across a wider price range within the tier.

About Palm Beach Gardens
Palm Beach Gardens is a planned city of 61,000 built around a championship golf identity that has grown into a full-service suburban community with a wide range of housing, from golf-community condos to newer single-family subdivisions. Marsh Pointe and Timber Trace Elementary are among the top-rated public elementary schools in Palm Beach County. The Gardens Mall, Legacy Place, and PGA Commons put retail and dining within the city without a highway drive. The trade-offs are real. The pace is quieter than Jupiter, and the beach is a 15-minute drive rather than a walk. A budget under $550,000 now buys a condo or older townhome rather than a move-in-ready single-family home with a yard, and HOA fees in golf communities add meaningfully to monthly costs. The high school carries a 3/10 GreatSchools rating, worth weighing if high school matters to you, even accounting for its Cambridge and AP magnet programs. Some high school students in PBG attend Benjamin School, Oxbridge Academy, or other private schools. For elementary and middle school, few cities in Palm Beach County can match the public school options at this price point.
