The city incorporated in 1959, and the PGA National resort and its communities were developed in the 1970s and 1980s. It has since grown into northern Palm Beach County's premier golf and family market, with Avenir and a wave of new development continuing the growth.

Commercial districts & employment

Palm Beach Gardens has a substantial employment base, anchored by the corporate and medical offices along its commercial corridors, the Gardens Mall's upscale retail, and the city's position as a northern county hub. The PGA of America and the golf economy add to the city's identity.

Relocation guide

Waterfront, insurance & ownership

What to weigh before you buy in Palm Beach Gardens.

Palm Beach Gardens' water is mostly man-made lakes and golf-course ponds. Flood and insurance considerations apply to lakefront and low-lying lots, and hurricane resilience shapes every Florida purchase. We review these for the specific property you are considering.

FEMA flood zones

Lakefront and low-lying lots can fall within flood zones. We verify the current FEMA map and any elevation certificate before advising.

Flood & homeowners insurance

Flood coverage may be required on lakefront and low-lying properties, separate from homeowners insurance. Premiums vary by zone, elevation, and construction.

Hurricane preparedness

We review roof age, impact protection, and, for condominiums, the building's reserve funding and post-storm assessment history.

Lakefront & golf-front condition

On lakefront and golf-front lots, we assess seawall or shoreline condition, which is a maintenance and resale consideration.

Homeowners association health

Most communities have HOAs. We review current fees, reserves, rules, and any pending special assessments.

Condo association considerations

For condominiums and townhomes, we review the association's financials, reserves, and pending assessments before advising.
