It's more attainable than much of coastal Palm Beach County, with a median list price of $325,000 and active listings starting around $125,000. At an average of $227 per square foot, you'll find condos and villas well below the county's beachside pricing, and you can browse by price to see the entry-level range.

It's fast and competitive — homes are selling in a median of just 3 days, with 3,265 sales over the past year and sellers netting 95% of asking on average. With only 15 active listings, serious buyers should watch just reduced homes and get pre-approved before touring.

The median HOA runs about $490 per month, reflecting the condo- and community-heavy inventory in places like Golden Lakes. Median property tax is roughly $3,554 per year, and median rent sits around $3,000 per month for comparison.
