Pipers Glen

Jam-packed with luxurious facilities and amenities, the gated subdivisions of Pipers Glen are sewn into the lush rolling greens of Westchester Country Club. And the best part? This country club is public, so there's no mandatory membership.

While it teeters the border between unincorporated Boynton Beach and unincorporated Delray Beach, Pipers Glen is largely considered to be a part of the up-and-coming Boynton Beach. "It's more peaceful when you come out west," says Gregory Feit, a local Realtor with United Realty Group and a Pipers Glen Estates resident. "It's a lot quieter, life's slower, and it's safer. There are always people at the tennis courts, people walking their dogs. Holidays are really fun. We do lots of cool things for Halloween. In my neighborhood, we have a guy who fills his pickup truck with hay every year to give the kids hay rides." You'll find a variety of residential communities throughout Pipers Glen. For example, there's Pipers Glen Estates, which mainly comprises three-bedroom, single-family homes with two to three bathrooms; there's the expansive Coral Lakes community, which boasts a plethora of its own gated subdivisions and a private sports center for its residents to enjoy; there are the town houses and condominiums of Green Cay Village; and there are several 55-plus communities, such as San Marco.

While no two of the many Pipers Glen subcommunities are the same, there are some trending characteristics, like HOA management and, most saliently, architecture. Spanish eclectic architecture is the predominant style of the area, adorning stucco-sided homes with classic arches, earthy tones and terracotta barrel-roof tiles. Market prices for single-family houses range from $575,000 to just over $1 million. For $639,000, you can land a three-bedroom, two-and-a-half bathroom, 2,569-square-foot single-story home with a two-car garage. As for multifamily properties, market prices start around the mid-$200,000s and softly cap in the mid-$400,000s.

Westchester Country Club is the glue that ties all of Pipers Glen's communities together, providing every resident with scenic commutes to and from home. Its 27 holes are spread across three courses, designed by world-renowned golf course architect Karl Litton. "There's a lot to do outdoors around here," says Gregory Feit. "We have the Green Cay Wetlands down the road. The Loxahatchee National Refuge and the Morikami Japanese Gardens are nearby, too." Tucked into the southwest corner of Pipers Glen, the Green Cay Nature Center and Wetlands span 100 acres with a 1.5-mile boardwalk that gives ample opportunity to observe the unique flora and fauna that inhabit a Floridian wetlands ecosystem.

Pipers Glen sits between Florida's Turnpike and South Military Trail, so commuting north or south is a breeze. The area isn't too far from trendy strips and beaches either, with Boynton Beach's burgeoning downtown only 15 minutes away and Delray Beach's sandy stretches just 20 minutes away. However, it's not much of a drive if you just want to dine out or shop around Pipers Glen. Right up Jog Road is a new commercial development with Publix, other retailers and eateries.

Local students may attend Hagen Road Elementary, rated with a B-plus on Niche, before going to Carver Middle and graduating from Spanish River Community High, which was rated with an A-plus on Niche. This high school has choice academies and in-house programs in a handful of areas, such as biotechnology, law, entrepreneurship and early childhood teacher education.

Quiet, sporty and surrounded by gorgeous tropical greenery, the communities of Pipers Glen have a little something for anyone interested in luxury living.
