Boynton's well-rounded 55+ communities

Traveling just 5 miles west of Boynton Beach's sandy coastline reveals a cluster of mobile homes for older active adults. This conglomerate of communities includes Sea Meadow, Jamaica Bay, Tropical Breeze Estates, La Paloma, and Parry Village. Some are guard-gated, such as La Paloma and Jamaica Bay, while others are private but ungated, such as Parry Village and Tropical Breeze. "They're 55+ communities, so that's the No. 1 draw," says Lorie-Anne Battaglini, a Realtor with Regency Realty Services. She's also a Jamaica Bay resident. "I love it. The people are very friendly. There are a lot of social events: dances, card games, bocce ball, shuffleboard and it just keeps on going. You can choose to do stuff or not to do stuff, but there's always lots available—especially in season when all the snowbirds are here."

Mobile home living under the South Florida sun

Folks on a stroll through Tropical Breeze or surrounding communities pass ranch-style manufactured homes in neutral tones with carports and sunrooms. These parks focus on keeping the green lawns manicured and amenities in their stately community centers clean. Lot fees, paid to lease the land on which the home resides, depend on the community. A few communities charge no lot fee at all; this is the case in Jamaica Bay and Tropical Breeze. HOA fees, however, are to be expected across the board. Home prices in Sea Meadow/Jamaica Bay range from just under $55,000 to about $300,000.

Events, clubs and more in Tropical Breeze

Residents of each community peruse a full calendar of indoor and outdoor events year-round, especially during peak season when residents travel south for the colder months. They can meet up with friends at a shuffleboard or bowling league before hitting the park-sponsored potluck dinner, and they look forward to Saturday night dances. Meanwhile, beloved local institutions frequently host live music. Residents head to Elmo's Rock Bar and Grill for live rock performances.

Walking to Bealls and dining downtown

When residents aren't enjoying delicious burgers and chicken sandwiches at Elmo's, they choose from dozens of options in downtown Boynton Beach, just over 5 miles away along the Intracoastal Waterway. "It's lined with places to sit for lunch or dinner. Happy Hours start between three and four o'clock," Battaglini says, laughing, "Most of us aren't part of the late-night crowd, so in that way, it's great." As for day-to-day errands, there are a few shopping centers close to the neighborhood. "For groceries, you can go anywhere around the corner on South Military Trail. If you want a specialty store, like Trader Joe's and Whole Foods, you have to go out a little more," Battaglini says. "A lot of ladies walk down to Bealls and do their shopping on Mondays. It's not far, so some ride their bike, and some take their car."

Elmo’s Rock Bar and Grill is a cool hangout for any time drinks for Tropical Breeze Residents.

Traveling throughout Boynton Beach

The neighborhood borders a primary north-south thoroughfare: South Military Trail. Interstate 95 and scenic Florida State Road A1A are also nearby, making for easy trips to larger cities, such as Delray Beach and Lake Worth. "To get to the beach, just go straight down Boynton Beach Boulevard, hop on the A1A, and you're there," Battaglini adds. PalmTran bus stops line South Military Trail for those looking to avoid driving. Residents head to Palm Beach International Airport 14 miles away for trips around the country. HCA Florida JFK Hospital also sits just 6.5 miles north of the community.

A Francophone summer in La Paloma

The La Paloma community welcomes a crowd of French-Canadian residents each season. Those interested in the park should keep in mind that many of the scheduled events are held in French.
