Dillman Farms is surrounded by lush greenery, several lakes, and quiet streets.
Hugh Dillman’s tropical dream
The history of Dillman Farms is rooted in a gentleman farmer’s dream. Hugh Dillman’s life among the stars as a Broadway performer and silent film actor made it clear that his heart lay in country living. When Dillman wasn’t hosting concerts, luncheons and dances at his new country estate in Palm Beach County, he was experimenting with agriculture. Although his produce and livestock flourished in the tropical climate, his life around the property — namely, his marriage — became less fruitful. After being sold, the land lived another life as a commercial plant nursery before it grew into the community it is today. Dillman Farms may not center around agriculture or horticulture, but it does echo the past with plenty of healthy green space. The neighborhood balances pastoral charm and suburban convenience on the edge of Greenacres through large lush lots, an immense park and a location central to schools, shopping and major thoroughfares.
Dillman Farms' row homes showcase beautiful front gardens and inviting facades.
Simple ranchers, gated communities and sprawling estates
Some subdivisions in Dillman Farms are unnamed and HOA-free, home to midcentury ranch-style residences on midsize lots. Others, like Normandy Isles, were built in the late 1990s and early 2000s. Most of these turn-of-the-century subdivisions are HOA-managed and gated. Their properties blend New Traditional and Spanish eclectic architecture, featuring layered front gables, entryway arches, stucco siding and barrel roof tiles. Prices range from the mid $400,000s to around $600,000. There are also estate-home subdivisions with lots sized a half-acre or more on quiet streets like Pioneer Road and Gun Club Road. There is no blanket architectural style since most are custom-built. A grand Spanish Revival might be across the street from a quaint contemporary farmhouse. However, both are likely hidden from view behind dense greenery and a long driveway. “Those properties have more of a rural feel,” says former resident Roger Plevin, a local Realtor with the Keyes Company’s Mizner Grand Group. “People there want to be kind of off the grid. They want a big house on a big lot without answering to anyone but the municipal authority. It’s a quiet way to live, but there is some telltale droning the closer to the turnpike you are.” Estate homes range from roughly $700,000 to more than $2 million. Dillman Farms’s newest additions are new construction houses and townhouses that display sleek contemporary and streamlined New Traditional styles. While townhouse prices fall in the $500,000s, new-construction houses range from the mid $500,000s to the mid $700,000s.
Cholee Lake Elementary School
A plethora of local elementary schools
The neighborhood is served by the School District of Palm Beach County. Students on the north side attend Melaleuca Elementary, central students attend Cholee Lake Elementary and south side kids head to Liberty Park Elementary. Each of these schools is graded C-plus on Niche. Academic pathways converge at Okeeheelee Middle, graded B-minus, and Palm Beach Central High, graded A and ranked No. 12 on Niche’s list of the county’s best public high schools. Palm Beach Central has strong athletics, including varsity teams for football, volleyball, soccer and lacrosse.
Okeeheelee Park is just minutes away from Dillman Farms.
Okeeheelee Park
The landscape Hugh Dillman first fell in love with is perfectly preserved in Okeeheelee Park. Although it’s in unincorporated Dillman Farms, the 2,000-acre park is a major recreational hub for folks in Greenacres, Wellington and West Palm Beach. On its south side, hikers walk through wetland trails, kayakers launch onto the lake and local horseback riders saddle up at Jim Brandon Equestrian Center. All the athletic facilities are on the north side, including a golf course, various ballfields and courts. Shark Wake Park is on the north side as well; its floating obstacle course is a major draw for local kids. “My kid has a Shark Wake membership,” says local Realtor Ismael Esteves with Keller Williams Reserve Palm Beach. “We’re there like every day in the summer. It’s huge for water recreation. I’ve seen some water-skiing competitions on the lake. I’ve been to some BMX competitions there, too. It’s a massive park.” Greenacres Freedom Park is also in the neighborhood. Albeit smaller, this green space is amenity-packed with pickleball, basketball, Bankshot basketball and sand volleyball courts, as well as soccer fields, a shaded playground and a lakeside walking path.
