Between $32 million and $36 million, South Florida's luxury market splits between two kinds of trophy: the island estate and the deep-water point lot. Palm Beach leads with Estate Section and North End homes, including two built in 2025 and 2026. Jupiter Island adds oceanfront acreage, and Palm Beach Gardens offers 300 feet of Intracoastal frontage with a private yacht basin. In Fort Lauderdale, nearly every listing sits on a point lot along the New River, Coral Ridge or Las Olas Isles. Miami-Dade rounds out the list with Golden Beach oceanfront, the Venetian Islands and Fisher Island's Mansions.

Here are 24 estates for sale right now, grouped by area. Tap any photo or address for full details, or call Brian Wilder at (561) 201-4717 to schedule a private tour.

Florida Condo Financing: A Preapproved Buyer Still Needs an Approved Building

Preapproved Is Not Approved: illustrative Florida condo building beside a lender review checklist; your finances and the condo building both matter.

Florida Condo Financing: A Preapproved Buyer Still Needs an Approved Building

A preapproval letter tells you what a lender may lend to you. It does not tell you whether the lender can lend on that condo. In Florida, that second question is where deals get stuck.

Call or text 561-201-4717

Quick Answer

Get the financing conversation going before you sign a condo contract. Ask your lender to look at the building, not only at you: the master insurance, any critical repairs, special assessments, inspection reports, the reserve study, and whether the association will hand over the documents. A building that financed last year is not a guarantee for this year. The goal is to know the whole transaction can be financed.

5Building areas a lender reviews: insurance, repairs, assessments, inspections and reserves, documents
4Mortgage channels with distinct condo rules: Fannie Mae, Freddie Mac, FHA and VA
10Business days an association has to issue an estoppel certificate after a written request
2Florida reports to ask for: the milestone inspection summary and the reserve study

I'm Brian Wilder. This one came out of a conversation with one of my trusted local lenders about a problem I see in condo deals. A buyer gets preapproved, falls for a unit, writes an offer, and then finds out the building is the problem. Here's how to avoid that surprise.

A preapproval checks you. It doesn't check the building.

A preapproval looks at your income, assets, credit and debts. That's the buyer side. With a condo, the lender also has to be comfortable with the project itself, because every owner shares the roof, the structure, the insurance and the bills.

Fannie Mae says it plainly: lenders are responsible for reviewing the project when they underwrite the loan. If the project doesn't meet the rules, loans on units in that building are not eligible for sale to Fannie Mae until the problem is fixed. Freddie Mac works the same way, with its own project statuses. So a buyer can be fully qualified and still not be able to close on a particular building.

That's why I want the lender talking about the building before the contract, not after.

What a lender looks at in the building

  • Master insurance. Fannie Mae wants the association's master policy to cover at least 100% of the estimated replacement cost of the buildings. For loan applications on or after July 1, 2026, the per-unit deductible on that master policy can't be more than $50,000, and if the master policy has a per-unit deductible, the buyer needs their own unit owner policy. Ask about flood coverage too if the building sits in a flood zone.
  • Critical repairs. Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac won't take loans in a building that needs critical repairs. That includes water intrusion or damaging leaks, advanced deterioration, a building that failed a required inspection or recertification, and unfunded repairs over $10,000 per unit that should happen in the next 12 months. That dollar test excludes repairs made by a unit owner and repairs funded through a special assessment; funding alone does not clear a separate critical safety or structural defect. A building under an evacuation order for an unsafe condition is ineligible until it is fixed.
  • Special assessments. The lender looks at what the assessment is for, when it was approved, the original amount, what's left to collect and when it will be paid off. An assessment tied to a critical repair that hasn't been completed is a problem for the whole building.
  • Inspections and reserves. Freddie Mac requires lenders to review structural or mechanical inspection reports completed within the past three years. They also look at the budget and the reserves. If a reserve study is used to make up for a thin budget, lenders must use its highest recommended funding amount, and for applications on or after August 3, 2026 they can't rely on the baseline funding method. For coastal property considerations, see our oceanfront condo financing guide (palmbeachcountyhomeforsale.com/blog/oceanfront-condo-financing-palm-beach-county); have your lender apply the current rules to the exact project.
  • Documents. If the association or its manager won't provide the inspection reports, the repair information or the assessment details, and nobody else can supply them, Freddie Mac says the loans in that project aren't eligible.

Why "it financed last year" doesn't settle it

I hear this a lot: "Someone just bought in that building with a loan." It's useful to know. It's not proof. Several things change.

  • Lender rules change. In March 2026, Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac announced changes to project reviews, reserves and insurance. Limited Review (Fannie Mae) and Streamlined Review (Freddie Mac) were retired for applications on or after August 3, 2026. The reserve minimum rises from 10% to 15% of budgeted assessment income for applications on or after January 4, 2027.
  • The building changes. A new inspection report, a new special assessment, a lapsed insurance policy or a pending lawsuit can change a building's status. Fannie Mae uses an "Unavailable" status in its Condo Project Manager, and Freddie Mac uses "Not Eligible" in Condo Project Advisor. Loans on units in a building with that status generally can't be sold to those agencies.
  • Florida law changes. Since 2022, Florida has added milestone inspections and structural integrity reserve studies for condo buildings three habitable stories or taller. Buildings must do an inspection at 30 years, and 25 years if the local building department decides so, then every 10 years. Unit-owner-controlled associations existing on or before July 1, 2022 generally had to finish their required reserve study by December 31, 2025; qualifying studies paired with a milestone inspection may be completed by December 31, 2026. Required structural reserves generally cannot be waived for budgets adopted on or after December 31, 2024; ask a Florida attorney to confirm whether a temporary statutory pause, reduction or study-delay exception applies. Some qualifying associations may pause or reduce reserve contributions for up to two annual budgets to fund milestone-related repairs, and may delay a SIRS for up to two consecutive budget years after a milestone inspection. These are conditional exceptions, not automatic permissions for every association. The rules were changed again in 2025 by HB 913.
  • Insurance changes. A master policy that met the rules last year may be renewed with a different deductible or coverage this year.

The point isn't that financing is hard. Fannie Mae says the vast majority of projects with a status in its system are approved. The point is that you check this building, today, with your lender.

Questions to ask before you sign a condo contract

Ask your lender:

  • Has the project already been checked? Can you look up the building's status in Fannie Mae's Condo Project Manager, or Freddie Mac's Condo Project Advisor, or check whether the building is on the FHA or VA approved lists?
  • What does the project review need for this building, and how long does it take?
  • Which loan programs will this lender use on this building, and does my down payment and loan type change the answer?
  • If the building isn't eligible, what is my Plan B and what would it cost?

Ask the association, through the listing agent:

  • Who carries the master insurance, what are the coverage and the per-unit deductible, and when does it renew?
  • Are there any special assessments, current or planned? What are they for, and when do they end?
  • Has the building had a milestone inspection and a structural integrity reserve study? Can I see the inspector's summary and the study?
  • Are any repairs recommended, and are they funded?
  • Is there any lawsuit against the association?
  • Will the association return the lender's condo questionnaire and an estoppel certificate on time?

Ask yourself:

  • Can I afford the unit if an assessment is added or the dues go up?
  • Am I willing to wait for the project review?
  • Do I have a way out if the building can't be financed?

Selling a condo? Get the paperwork ready first

If you own a condo in Delray Beach, Boca Raton or anywhere in Palm Beach County, your buyer's lender will be reviewing your building. Florida law says the seller must provide the buyer with the association documents, including the milestone inspection summary and the most recent reserve study (or a statement that they haven't been completed), at the seller's expense. After December 31, 2024, resale contracts have to carry statements about those reports.

An association has 10 business days to issue an estoppel certificate after a written request from the owner or the owner's mortgage lender, so request it early. Pull the budget, the insurance certificate, any assessment details and the inspection and reserve documents before you list. A buyer's lender who can't get answers from the association may not be able to close, no matter how strong the buyer is. Our guide to why condos behave differently (palmbeachcountyhomeforsale.com/blog/why-condos-behave-differently-palm-beach-county) covers pricing and positioning.

A note for agents

  • A preapproval letter in the offer doesn't mean the building is financeable. Ask the lender to check the project before you write the offer.
  • Freddie Mac says a real estate agent, the seller or the buyer can supply the lender with the inspection and repair documents. Start gathering them on day one.
  • Put the association's response time into your timeline. Closing dates slip when the questionnaire or estoppel is late.
  • Tell your buyer about Plan B early, whether that's cash, a different lender or a different building.

If the building does not qualify for a Fannie Mae or Freddie Mac loan

It happens, and it's not always permanent. Fannie Mae says it updates a project's status after the association shows the issue is fixed, and that it has done so for more than 2,000 projects since 2022. Short term, ask your lender what else is possible for that building. FHA and VA have separate condo eligibility rules. FHA may allow project approval or an eligible Single-Unit Approval in some projects without FHA approval; ask your lender which path applies. A building that fits one channel may not fit another. If you're a first-time buyer, read our guide to buying a condo as your first home (palmbeachcountyhomeforsale.com/blog/buying-condo-first-home-palm-beach-county).

Checked October 27, 2026.

Does a mortgage preapproval mean a Florida condo can be financed?

No. A preapproval reviews the buyer's income, assets and credit. For a condo, the lender also reviews the building: its insurance, repairs, special assessments, inspections, reserves and documents.

How do I check a condo association's financial health before I buy in Palm Beach County?

Ask for the annual budget, the financial statement, the reserve study, the milestone inspection summary if one is required, any special assessment details and the insurance certificate. Then ask your lender to review them before you go under contract.

How do special assessments affect condo financing?

Lenders review what the assessment is for, when it was approved, how much is left and when it ends. An assessment for a critical repair that isn't finished can make loans in the project ineligible for sale to Fannie Mae or Freddie Mac.

Do lenders have rules about a condo association's insurance?

Yes. Fannie Mae requires the master policy to cover at least 100% of the estimated replacement cost and caps the per-unit deductible at $50,000 for applications on or after July 1, 2026. You may also need your own unit owner policy, and flood coverage matters if the building is in a flood zone.

What new Florida condo laws should buyers know about?

Florida now requires milestone inspections for older condo buildings three habitable stories or taller, and structural integrity reserve studies for associations with covered buildings. Ask the seller for the inspection summary and the reserve study, because lenders may ask for them too.

What if the condo isn't eligible for a conventional loan?

Ask your lender what else is possible for that building, since FHA has project and eligible Single-Unit Approval paths, while VA has its own condo requirements. You can also wait: Fannie Mae updates a project's status after the association shows the problem is fixed. Plan B should be settled before you sign.

Living in Bedford at The Lakes, St. Lucie West, Port St. Lucie FL: Homes, Schools & Lifestyle

Living in Bedford at The Lakes, St. Lucie West, Port St. Lucie FL

Explore Bedford at The Lakes in St. Lucie West: DiVosta homes, two-car garages, shared amenities, schools, and ownership details to check before your next move.

Quick answer

Bedford at The Lakes is an all-ages DiVosta neighborhood of 148 single-family homes, with access from Country Club Drive. It is part of The Lakes in St. Lucie West. Bedford Park at Tradition is a different neighborhood; make sure a listing or map is taking you to the correct one.

Get The Wilder Way Home Call Brian: 561-201-4717

Bedford at The Lakes offers detached homes with two-car garages in established St. Lucie West. Mature trees and lakes shape the setting, with shopping and restaurants in the surrounding area. The practical appeal is having your own house and garage while sharing recreation through the larger Lakes community.

Homes

The HOA identifies the homes as DiVosta-built with two-car garages. On a tour, compare the floor plan, garage space, outdoor area, and condition of the house rather than assuming every DiVosta home is the same. Lake-facing homes also need a property-specific look at the survey and outdoor-use restrictions.

The HOA states that the lakes behind the homes belong to the St. Lucie West Services District. A water view does not mean the homeowner owns the lake. Official community details checked October 24, 2026: Bedford at the Lakes HOA .

HOA and Costs

Bedford collects dues quarterly. The HOA explains that part of those dues supports shared common areas through the Property Owners Association, including pool and tennis facilities. Obtain the current amount and coverage for the property rather than applying a Sun Terrace or other nearby association's monthly figure.

Read the budget, reserves, and any special assessment before you commit. Ask specifically about exterior maintenance, landscaping, roof responsibilities, and insurance. The St. Lucie West Services District assessment is separate and should be reviewed on the latest property tax bill.

Schools

Public assignment follows the specific address. Confirm with the School District of St. Lucie County at St. Lucie Public Schools student assignment (checked October 24, 2026). Nearby charters and privates are listed on the parent page.

Daily Life Around St. Lucie West

Town Center and the Shoppes at St. Lucie West put groceries and restaurants in the surrounding area. Publix is an option at the Shoppes; Berry Fresh Cafe and Tutto Fresco are among the area's dining choices. Clover Park brings Mets spring training and St. Lucie Mets games to the neighborhood's broader setting. You can make shopping, dinner, and baseball part of the same local routine without choosing a home inside a new master plan.

Cleveland Clinic's Family Health Center at St. Lucie West is a local healthcare destination. Hutchinson Island beaches lie east of Port St. Lucie. For a regular commute or a beach day, compare the route from the actual house instead of relying on a community-wide travel estimate. The St. Lucie West guide below covers the wider area's schools, healthcare, parks, and places of worship.

Condition and Ownership

Compare homes on condition as well as asking price. A renovated kitchen does not tell you the age of the roof, the condition of the air conditioning, or whether alterations were permitted. Review replacement records, have the home inspected, and ask who is responsible for exterior work under that property's association documents.

A lake view and a property's legal rights are separate questions. Check the survey, flood zone, and insurance quote for the address. Do not assume that water behind the home comes with private boating access or ownership of the shoreline. If you are selling another home to make the move, line up both timelines before committing to the purchase.

Brian's Local Take

The detached house and two-car garage are the useful distinction here. Compare the actual condition and association responsibilities before treating a lower asking price as a better buy. Send me the address and we can look at what the house would require after closing.

Frequently asked questions

Is Bedford part of The Lakes?

Yes. Bedford at The Lakes is within St. Lucie West; Bedford Park at Tradition is a different neighborhood.

What type of homes are in Bedford?

The HOA identifies 148 DiVosta single-family homes with two-car garages. Compare the layout and condition of the individual house.

How are Bedford HOA dues paid?

Dues are paid quarterly. Ask for the current amount, coverage, and any assessments with the resale documents.

Is Bedford age-restricted?

The HOA describes Bedford as an all-ages community. Review its current rules for the property you are considering.

Living in Sun Terrace at St. Lucie West, Port St. Lucie FL

Explore Sun Terrace at The Lakes in St. Lucie West: patio homes, HOA dues, rental restrictions, schools, and practical ownership details to check before buying.

Quick answer

Sun Terrace is an all-ages DiVosta patio-home community within The Lakes at St. Lucie West. The association describes it as owner-occupied, with seasonal and full-time residents, and does not allow rentals. It is a different ownership choice from buying a home you expect to lease later.

Get The Wilder Way Home Call Brian: 561-201-4717

Sun Terrace at The Lakes centers on patio-home living in established St. Lucie West. Large outdoor patios give the homes an outdoor room, while shops and restaurants sit in the surrounding area. It is worth a look if you want a smaller home footprint, but the rental restriction needs to fit your plans from the start.

Homes

The neighborhood is known for two-bedroom villa-style patio homes around NW Sun Terrace Circle. Look closely at the usable patio space, indoor storage, parking arrangement, and privacy between adjoining homes. A compact floor plan can work well, but only if your furniture and day-to-day routine fit it.

Compare the condition of the patio enclosure as carefully as the interior. Ask which exterior features are the owner's responsibility and which are handled by the association. A lower-maintenance home still has systems and finishes you will need to maintain.

HOA and Costs

The association website lists monthly dues of $445 starting January 1, 2026, checked October 24, 2026. Confirm the current figure and coverage with the resale documents before contracting. The same official site states that rentals are not allowed: Sun Terrace HOA .

Review the association budget, reserves, insurance responsibilities, and any special assessment. The St. Lucie West Services District assessment is a separate item to check on the property tax bill. Do not substitute a nearby community's fee or maintenance list for Sun Terrace's own documents.

Schools

Public assignment follows the specific address. Confirm with the School District of St. Lucie County at St. Lucie Public Schools student assignment (checked October 24, 2026). Nearby charters and privates are listed on the parent page.

Daily Life Around St. Lucie West

Condition and Ownership

Compare homes on condition as well as asking price. A renovated kitchen does not tell you the age of the roof, the condition of the air conditioning, or whether alterations were permitted. Review replacement records, have the home inspected, and ask who is responsible for exterior work under that property's association documents.

Do not assume that water behind the home comes with private boating access or ownership of the shoreline. If you are selling another home to make the move, line up both timelines before committing to the purchase.

Brian's Local Take

If your plan is to live here, including seasonally, the patio-home setup may work. If your backup plan is to rent the house out, the association's no-rental rule changes the decision. I would settle that question before spending time comparing finishes.

Frequently asked questions

Is Sun Terrace a 55+ community?

No. The association describes Sun Terrace as an all-ages community.

Can I rent out a Sun Terrace home?

The association website states that rentals are not allowed. Read the current governing documents before buying if leasing is part of your plan.

What are the Sun Terrace HOA dues?

The association posts $445 per month effective January 1, 2026. Confirm the latest amount, coverage, and any assessments in your resale package.

Is Sun Terrace part of The Lakes?

Yes, Sun Terrace at The Lakes is within the broader St. Lucie West area. Its association rules and patio-home layout should be evaluated separately from nearby detached homes.

The Acreage new construction

New Home Builders in The Acreage, FL: Names, Prices and Who to Call

From Lennar's Twin Homes at Arden to estate homes on 1.25-acre lots, here's who is building in The Acreage and Loxahatchee, what styles they offer, what they cost, and a look at Palm Beach County's top-tier new construction.

New construction in The Acreage comes in two very different forms, and Brian Wilder of Keller Williams helps buyers compare both. The first is the master-planned route at Arden by Lennar, a 1,200-acre community on Lake Arden with an agrihood, a lakeside clubhouse, a resort pool and 20 miles of trails. Lennar currently lists Arden from $507,990 to $693,990: paired Twin Homes start at $507,990 for the three-bedroom Azalea and $574,990 for the four-bedroom Hydrangea, and the last single-family plan in the Providence Collection, the four-bedroom Caraway, starts at $693,990. HOA dues there run about $308 a month. Base prices leave out lot premiums and options, so call Brian Wilder before you visit a sales center. Brian can register you as his client, compare builder incentives and review the contract with you.

The second route is a home built on one of The Acreage's roughly 1.25-acre lots, much of it with no HOA. Monna Homes builds its Monna Estate Homes collection here, including the four-bedroom, three-bath Serena with a pool, recently priced from about $1.13 million to $1.22 million, and the larger six-bedroom Leah. Synergy Homes, based on Royal Palm Beach Boulevard, builds energy-efficient CBS homes from standard or customized plans, and independent builders such as Santana Homes also have new homes underway. Across these builders, new Acreage and Loxahatchee homes have recently been listed from about $728,000 to $1.6 million, and close to $1.9 million for equestrian properties with barns. Each lot comes with its own well, septic, fill and permitting questions, so call Brian Wilder at (561) 201-4717 or email Brian@WilderREG.com before you commit. If your search reaches beyond the western communities, the listings below illustrate a mix of luxury properties across Palm Beach County; verify construction year, renovation status and availability for each, available to tour with Brian Wilder at Keller Williams.

Plan the inspections before closing

For a home still being built, arrange an independent pre-drywall inspection when the builder permits access, then a final inspection before closing. For a completed home, inspect its actual condition and review any remaining warranty. Put an 11th-month warranty review on your calendar when the warranty terms make that timing appropriate.

Frequently asked questions

How does building in The Acreage differ from Arden?+
Arden offers a master-planned setting and association structure. A build on an individual Acreage parcel requires separate review of the land, utilities, access, permitting and construction agreement.
Are the listed prices current quotes?+
They are the October 2026 references retained from the guide. Ask the builder for an itemized quote for the specific home and parcel.
Does a no-HOA lot have no restrictions?+
Do not assume that. Check zoning, easements, permits, access and any recorded restrictions for the exact parcel.
Are all the luxury listings below new construction?+
No. The retained listing examples include different property types and renovation or construction histories. Verify the specific listing before treating it as a newly built home.
What should I compare before buying land?+
Compare the all-in land and construction budget, site work, utilities, drainage, access, timeline and financing with a completed home.

Well Water or RO? Acreage Pool Refills and Pressure Washing

Wilder Real Estate Group
LIVING IN THE ACREAGE

Before you turn on the hose,
know which water you are using.

Pressure washing and pool filling need different checks.

You're in The Acreage, the patio needs cleaning and the pool needs water. Which spigot do you use? For pressure washing, check the washer's supply requirements. For a pool refill, check the water chemistry, well capacity and pool finish before choosing well water or whole-house RO.

Misty Cay Villas in Lake Charleston: More Life. Less Hassle.

Misty Cay, Lake Charleston, Lake Worth: closed sales $403,500 median at $306 per square foot, 8 sales, versus Charleston Shores $515,000 at $279 per square foot, 9 sales; 97.6% sale to list, 41 to 24 median days, association fees $250 to $262. Wilder Real Estate Group, Keller Williams Realty.

Historical infographic: the original October 5, 2026 snapshot. Its fee panel says 7 of 8 sales; the later October 9 MLS check in the text reports 6 of 8. Neither figure is a current association quote. The source combines six MLS-labeled villas, one house and one townhouse. These pooled figures are historical and are not suitable for a type-specific comparison. Individual labels need confirmation. Per-foot figures use heated living area; small-sample medians are not used in the editable analysis.

THE LIFESTYLE
Misty Cay Villas in Lake Charleston, Lake Worth: More Life. Less Hassle.

A villa on Burgess Drive puts the Lake Charleston lakes and pools within your everyday community setting, with West Boynton Park available for an outing beyond it. Misty Cay offers smaller-home options and less yard to manage; the tradeoff is checking the house and both association obligations before you decide.

WATCH: THE LIFESTYLE

Misty Cay: what's life really like?.

Brian Wilder, Keller Williams Realty, on a Saturday in Misty Cay. About a minute. Captions on.

BRIAN'S TAKE

What this means for you.

If you are comparing a smaller villa with a larger detached house, Misty Cay is worth a look. Match the actual floor plan, ownership costs and address-specific school assignment to your needs. If it's not the right fit, I'll tell you; if waiting is the better move, I'll tell you that too.

What I like: one-story villa options, smaller yards, and the Lake Charleston recreation network without choosing a larger detached house.

What you give up: the homes in the dated eight-sale sample had 1,228 to 1,386 square feet of living area, and ownership costs involve both Misty Cay and Lake Charleston. Other Misty Cay floor plans can differ, so compare the actual property.

What I'd check: these are villas built between 1995 and 1998, so the roof, the air conditioner and the insurance are yours to check. First the age of the roof, then the air conditioner and other major systems, then a new insurance quote for the exact address; the current owner's premium is only a rough hint. After the inspection, get the four point inspection and wind mitigation report. I can connect you with insurance agents who quote it.

Who it fits: buyers who want a smaller home and less yard to manage, with villa and other floor plans to compare by address. Someone needing more interior space may prefer a larger home. Misty Cay is not a 55+ community; confirm the recorded rules for the property.

What's nearby.

Straight-line miles from Burgess Drive. Source: Google Maps listings, checked October 8, 2026.

Places of worship.

Christian: Holiness Temple Church International (0.4 miles), Family Church Sherbrooke (1.8), St. Matthew Catholic Church (1.9), Suncoast Church of Christ (2.5), Community of Hope Lake Worth Campus (2.9), Greater Grace Christian Fellowship (3.3), Florida Gardens Baptist Church (3.3), Reveal Fellowship (3.5), Journey Church Lake Worth (3.6) and Faith Church Lake Worth (5.0).

Jewish: Chabad of Lake Worth (1.6), Temple Shaarei Shalom (1.9), Temple Torat Emet (2.0), Temple Beth Tikvah (3.3), Chabad Jewish Center of West Boynton and West Lake Worth (3.3), Congregation Kol HaLev (3.7), Chabad Lubavitch of Greater Boynton Beach (4.0) and Anshei Chesed Congregation (4.1).

Muslim: Al Amin Center (3.4), Baitul Mukarram Masjid (4.8) and Masjid Al Ikhlas Florida (5.0).

Hindu: Shirdi Sai Center of South Florida (4.5) and Florida Sevashram Sangha (5.0).

A little farther: Muslim Community of Palm Beach (6.1), Temple Beth Kodesh (6.8), BAPS Shri Swaminarayan Mandir (7.8) and Palm Beach Dharma Center (8.4).

Food and groceries.

Publix Super Market at Town Commons, with a pharmacy, is about 1.0 mile away on Hypoluxo Road, and the Publix at Lantana Plaza is 2.2 miles. For a sit-down meal or a quick bite: Mamma Mia's Trattoria (1.0), Rocket Cafe (1.0), The Philly Grill, Greek and Mediterranean (1.4), Dominic's III (1.4), Bagels & (1.4), Little Panda (1.5) and Grain and Berry (0.9).

Healthcare.

Baptist Health Bethesda Hospital West is 3.2 miles away, and Baptist Health Primary Care on Hagen Ranch Road is 3.2 miles.

Nearby-change scan, October 27, 2026: Publix at Town Commons and Mamma Mia's Trattoria remain listed by their operators on Hypoluxo Road. County notices scheduled West Boynton Park road and parking striping for August 24 to September 18, 2026; check current park access before a visit rather than assuming a scheduled project finished. The county also lists indoor pickleball at West Boynton Recreation Center. The distances above remain the original October 8 straight-line estimates.

What's it like to live in Misty Cay?.

Misty Cay sits just off Hypoluxo Road, east of the Florida Turnpike and west of Jog Road. For a weekend outing, West Boynton Park is about 1.9 straight-line miles from Burgess Drive. The county park combines lighted athletic fields, a playground and an indoor gym; check current league schedules, reservations and access when planning a practice or Saturday game (Palm Beach County Parks, checked October 27, 2026).

Then you go home, and home doesn't eat your afternoon. Inside Lake Charleston you have more than 220 acres of lakes, seven stocked for fishing, two pools, a clubhouse on the lake, tennis, basketball and volleyball courts, three playgrounds, and Lake Charleston Park with its own lighted fields (lcmahoa.com, October 2026). Ask who can use the park.

If you golf, The Links at Boynton Beach is about 2.3 miles away and Park Ridge Golf Course about 2.2 miles, both public. Oceanfront Park in Ocean Ridge is about 11 miles.

The October 5, 2026 source identifies six sales as villas, one as a house and one as a townhouse. It does not identify which label belongs to each individual row below. The labels therefore require address-level confirmation before selecting comparable sales. Pooled figures are not a villa-specific price trend. The prior-period source also included five 1,496-square-foot homes that did not repeat, so it is not a matched comparison. The dated pull recorded one cancelled listing after 108 days at $425,000 and no other failed listings in that dataset.

Source: local sales records pulled October 5, 2026, checked October 8, 2026. The period rows retain the original observation counts; pooled medians and ranges are suppressed because property types are mixed. Areas are heated living area, not total building area.

Eight individual historical sales: The three-month subset contains the two September sales; the six-month subset contains the May-through-September sales. Confirm the MLS label and legal property type for each address before using it as a comparable. The source provides only the aggregate six-villa, one-house, one-townhouse split, so individual types remain unidentified here.

Where have buyers had room in Misty Cay?.

The individual records above show the listed price, sale price and days for each dated sale. Compare those details with the condition, ownership type and layout of the home you are considering. They do not establish a negotiation discount for every Misty Cay villa. The same October 5 pull included one Burgess Drive home under contract; check its current status before relying on it.

Schools: zoning, miles and programs.

The district's school-grades page lists Manatee Elementary, Christa McAuliffe Middle and Park Vista Community High at A when checked October 27, 2026. A school grade is not an address assignment. Miles below remain the original approximate Burgess Drive measurements; the road is longer than a straight line.

Elementary: Manatee Elementary, 7001 Charleston Shores Blvd, Lake Worth, FL 33467. About 1.8 miles.

Middle: Christa McAuliffe Middle, 6500 Le Chalet Blvd, Boynton Beach, FL 33472. About 4.1 miles.

High: Park Vista Community High, 7900 Jog Rd, Lake Worth, FL 33467. About 2.9 miles.

The original Palm Beach County School District locator checks on October 4 and 5, 2026 reported these assignments for the researched Misty Cay addresses. Boundaries and property details can differ, so enter the exact house address in the district's Find My School locator before relying on a school assignment.

Magnet and career programs.

Christa McAuliffe Middle lists Pre Engineering, Pre Information Technology and Pre Medical Sciences. Ask how the current technology sequence covers game and web design, robotics, business technology, encryption and 3D printing, and which courses provide high-school credit or certification opportunities. Review McAuliffe's current program descriptions rather than assuming that every topic is offered in every grade.

Park Vista Community High offers Medical Science, Automotive Service Technology, Digital Media, Entrepreneurship and Information Technology. Being zoned for Park Vista does not automatically enroll a student in an academy: the Choice programs and Medical Science require an application. Verify availability and rules on the district's Choice programs page, checked October 5, 2026.

Private and charter schools to compare.

Private schools charge tuition and set their own admissions, so ask each school. Nearby: Trinity Christian Academy (PK to 12), Suncoast Christian Academy, Greenacres Christian Academy (K to 12), Atlantic Christian Academy (PK to 12), Sacred Heart School (PK to 8, Catholic), Berean Christian School (PK to 12), The King's Academy (PK to 12) and Kentwood Preparatory School (serves students with learning differences).

Charter schools are public and free, but they run independently of the district, have their own application, and admit by lottery when more families apply than there are seats. Apply early. Nearby: Franklin Academy Boynton Beach (K to 8), Ben Gamla Palm Beach (K to 5), Renaissance Charter at Central Palm (K to 8), Somerset Academy Canyons (6 to 12), Palm Beach Maritime Academy in Lantana and Quantum High School (an accelerated-credit public charter high school).

Villa, not condo: what the HOA fee is for.

A villa label does not by itself establish who maintains or insures the building. Review the deed, legal property type and association documents for the address. Florida condominium and homeowners associations operate under different statutes, Chapter 718 and Chapter 720. Confirm responsibility for the roof, AC, exterior maintenance and insurance rather than assuming a condo-style master policy covers them.

The October 9, 2026 MLS check reported HOA dues of $250 to $262 a month on 6 of the 8 closed sales, with $291 on one Burgess Drive sale and $156 on one Edisto Drive sale. These are dated listing figures, not a current association quote or proof that every charge is included. The Lake Charleston Realtor Guide, checked October 27, names Misty Cay as a sub-association needing an additional estoppel from Carolina Management. Obtain the current charges, billing schedule, service coverage and obligations for both associations in writing.

Selling first? Renting now?.

Selling your current home too? Your next purchase starts with knowing what you can bring from it. Start with a home value estimate, then we look at the sales and your timing together.

Check my home value

Renting now? Your rent is already a housing payment; compare it with the full cost of owning the home you want, including taxes, insurance, association charges and maintenance. Start preparing before your lease ends. Credit, savings, income, debts and the loan program affect timing, so some buyers are ready sooner and others need longer. We can look at your actual numbers and any applicable down payment assistance. Start with The Wilder Way Home, my free buyer's guide.

Common questions about Misty Cay.

How much do Misty Cay homes cost?

The page preserves eight individual sales from the October 5, 2026 pull. The source mixes six MLS-labeled villas, one house and one townhouse without identifying each individual type. Confirm the type and compare the individual records; the historical graphic is not a villa-specific valuation or a current asking-price guide.

What is the HOA fee in Misty Cay?

The October 9, 2026 MLS check reported $250 to $262 monthly on 6 of the 8 closed sales, with other reported figures on two sales. Confirm the current charges, billing schedule and service coverage for both Misty Cay and Lake Charleston.

Which schools were reported for the researched Misty Cay addresses?

The original October 4 and 5, 2026 district locator checks reported Manatee Elementary, Christa McAuliffe Middle and Park Vista Community High. Enter the exact property address in the district locator before relying on an assignment.

Is Misty Cay a condo community?

Misty Cay has a sub-association within Lake Charleston; an MLS villa label alone does not establish legal ownership type. Confirm the deed, legal property type, maintenance responsibilities and insurance arrangements for the exact home.

Do Misty Cay homes sell under asking?

The dated individual records show both listed and sold prices. The mixed property types do not establish a villa-wide discount. Room to negotiate depends on the exact property, condition, timing and seller; a past sale is not a promise.

DiVosta/PulteGroup

DiVosta es una marca de PulteGroup con una presencia significativa en el sur de Florida y un historial en nueva construcción de lujo en el área de Wellington. En Canter, entregan dos estilos arquitectónicos — farmhouse y coastal — en 42 lotes estate en un sitio de 22.5 acres. Los tamaños van de 3,301 a 5,376 pies cuadrados. Los electrodomésticos Wolf son estándar.

El sitio está en el código postal 33449, detrás de la iglesia St. Therese De Lisieux en Lake Worth Road y 120th Avenue South. Esto lo coloca en la zona de Panther Run Elementary — una escuela calificada con 5 estrellas y clasificada en el top 3% de todas las escuelas primarias de Florida, lo cual es una ventaja real para familias que compran en este rango de precios.

El Dato Sobre Representación Independiente Que Todo Comprador de Nueva Construcción Necesita Saber

Cuando compra directamente en la oficina de ventas de un constructor, el agente de ventas en esa oficina trabaja para DiVosta/PulteGroup — no para usted. Están legalmente obligados a representar los intereses del constructor.

Traer un agente del comprador independiente no le cuesta nada adicional. El constructor paga la comisión del agente del comprador. Usted obtiene a alguien que revisa el acuerdo de compra, las selecciones de opciones, el contrato de construcción y la estructura de primas de lote — nada de lo cual el agente de ventas del constructor hará en su nombre.

En una transacción de $1.5M–$3M+ con un contrato del constructor de más de 30 páginas, tener representación independiente no es opcional. Llámenos antes de registrarse en la oficina de ventas — una vez que haya visitado el sitio sin registrar un agente del comprador, sus opciones de representación cambian.

Para quién funciona Canter — y dónde buscar en otro lugar

Funciona bien para:

  • Compradores que quieren nueva construcción de lujo ($1.5M–$3M+) en una comunidad con portería en Wellington sin el riesgo de renovación e inspección de reventa
  • Compradores que quieren la zona de Panther Run Elementary / Polo Park Middle / Wellington High School en una casa de nueva construcción
  • Compradores que quieren personalizar acabados, opciones y primas de lote durante el proceso de construcción
  • Compradores que quieren electrodomésticos Wolf y metraje de escala estate (3,301–5,376 pies cuadrados)

Dónde buscar en otro lugar:

  • Compradores que quieren ocupación inmediata — la nueva construcción implica un cronograma de construcción; verifique las fechas de entrega actuales directamente con DiVosta
  • Compradores que quieren acceso ecuestre — Canter no está en el corredor ecuestre de Wellington
  • Compradores que necesitan un precio por debajo de $1.5M — este es un mercado de nivel estate

Escuelas, Ubicación y Vida Práctica

Escuelas: Canter está zonificado para Panther Run Elementary, Polo Park Middle School y Wellington High School. Panther Run Elementary está clasificada en el top 3% de todas las escuelas primarias de Florida (57a de 2,240 en todo el estado), tiene calificación de 5 estrellas y registra más del 85% de dominio en ELA, 92% en matemáticas y 86% en ciencias. Siempre verifique su dirección específica en palmbeachschools.org antes de firmar el contrato.

Ubicación: El sitio de 22.5 acres está detrás de la iglesia St. Therese De Lisieux en Lake Worth Road y 120th Avenue South en el código postal 33449. Wellington International (campos del WEF) aproximadamente 10–15 minutos. Mall at Wellington Green aproximadamente 5–10 minutos. Wellington Regional Medical Center y HCA Florida Palms West Hospital a corta distancia.

HOA: Como comunidad en desarrollo activo, las cuotas del HOA en Canter son establecidas y controladas por DiVosta/PulteGroup durante el período de construcción y venta. Contacte a DiVosta directamente al 754-253-0753 o 561-220-7900 y verifique todos los términos del HOA a través del acuerdo de compra y los documentos del HOA antes de firmar.

¿Comprando en Canter? Llámenos Primero.

Lo más importante que puede hacer antes de visitar la oficina de ventas de DiVosta es registrar su agente del comprador. Una vez que entre sin uno, sus opciones cambian.

Canter Wellington: DiVosta Plans and Release Status

Palm Beach County | New-home buyer guide

Canter Wellington: DiVosta Plans and Release Status

An estate home near Wellington may give you the room, garage and outdoor space you want without starting a custom build from scratch. With Canter, the first decision is whether the release timing fits your move.

Quick answer

DiVosta lists Canter in Wellington as coming soon. As checked October 24, 2026, its Ellington, Aventura, Oakley and Livingston II plan pages show pricing coming soon. Earlier reported price ranges should not be treated as current builder quotes.

Talk with Brian: 561-201-4717

The existing video is an earlier overview. Use the dated written information and the current property documents when comparing prices, availability and terms.

What the builder has published

The DiVosta Canter page describes a gated Wellington community. Its plan pages identify Ellington, Aventura, Oakley and Livingston II. Use those current plan sheets to compare layouts and options rather than relying on an earlier article's square-footage range.

We checked the builder information on October 24, 2026. Coming soon is not a committed delivery date. Ask which release milestones, model access and reservation procedures the builder can confirm in writing.

Why an earlier price estimate is not your budget

Earlier coverage discussed roughly 42 homesites and reported price expectations. Those reports can explain the project's background, but they do not establish a current base price, lot premium or included feature package.

Once pricing is released, obtain one itemized quote for your preferred plan and lot. Separate structural options, finishes, pool work and closing expenses. Then compare it with a completed resale or another builder home that fits your actual move date.

Decide how you want the home to live

Think through an ordinary day: where you work, where visitors stay, how you reach the yard, and what must fit in the garage. On an estate-size purchase, unused rooms still add to furnishing, cooling and maintenance costs.

Ask how the house sits on the homesite, including exposure, drainage, setbacks and equipment placement. A larger parcel does not automatically mean every part of it can be used as planned.

Location and timing deserve their own check

Drive the routes to the places you use in Wellington and beyond. Confirm school assignment by the exact address and check services that affect the home. Treat the model-home visit as a starting point for documentation, not the finish line.

If a firm move date matters, compare available completed homes while following Canter's release. Avoid scheduling the sale of your current home around an unconfirmed construction date.

Put the home on your shortlist

Compare these homes using the same budget and move date. Ask what is available for your timing, rather than assuming an older model video represents a home you can buy now.

Make the purchase work with your move

Build the budget around the complete purchase: home, lot, selected options, closing costs, insurance, taxes and association or district charges. For a newly completed home, ask for a tax estimate based on the finished property. A previous vacant-land bill can understate what you will pay.

Arrange an independent inspection. For a home being built, discuss pre-drywall access with the builder, then schedule a final inspection and document unfinished items. Review warranty coverage and transfer rules; an 11th-month review can help identify covered concerns before a one-year warranty expires.

If you have a home to sell, compare its likely net proceeds with the new purchase before making a deposit. Coordinate sale timing, temporary housing and the builder's delivery window so a delay does not force a rushed decision.

Frequently asked questions

Is Canter already delivering homes?+
The DiVosta information checked October 24, 2026 lists Canter as coming soon. Do not assume a delivery schedule without written confirmation.
What does a Canter home cost?+
The published plan pages checked show pricing coming soon. Earlier reported ranges are not current quotes.
Which plans has DiVosta published?+
Ellington, Aventura, Oakley and Livingston II appear on the builder's Canter plan pages. Verify the release and lot compatibility of your preferred design.
Should I sell my current home before reserving?+
Compare the builder's actual timing with your sale options first. The sequence depends on your finances, housing alternatives and contract terms.
When should I contact Brian?+
Before registering with the builder or visiting the sales center, so representation, registration and compensation terms can be clear from the start.

Bring your shortlist before your first tour

Talk with Brian before registering with a builder. We can compare the specific homes and costs, review the builder's agent-registration requirements, and clarify representation and compensation terms before you proceed.
