Age-restricted no more

It used to be that the homes surrounding The Fountains Country Club west of Lake Worth Beach were restricted to those over 55. The rules also stated that to live there, a resident had to be a member of the country club. The rules have now changed. “We’ve diversified our very community,” says Leslie Lang, a Realtor with The Keyes Company and a Fountains Country Club resident since 2003. “The new, more inclusive model has made the area more competitive and increased home values throughout the neighborhood.” There are still gated communities in the neighborhood and amenities within each subdivision.
