Luxurious living with deep water access in Palm Beach County

Frenchman's Creek is a 1941 historical novel of romance on the high seas - a quality many homeowners share in this waterfront enclave of the same name. The neighborhood has numerous estates with Intracoastal access, making it a popular landing spot for boaters. “Frenchman’s Creek is right smack between the Palm Beach and Jupiter Inlet,” says Jennifer Hyland, local managing director of the Hyland Group at Corcoran Group. “There is great turquoise water, and it's an amazing fishing and boating area.” Those remaining on land will find a mix of residential options in smaller subdivisions and the premier Frenchman’s Creek Beach and Country Club. Recreation surrounds residents on every level with golf, parks and a day on the beach, all under 4 miles away. The neighborhood receives a 1 on the CAP Index score, meaning crime is very low.

Head to Juno Beach for a day on the water

The neighborhood has multiple recreation options available on land or sea. The lush Florida landscape is on full display at the Frenchman’s Forest Natural Area, and over 500 animal species call the park home. Visitors can try to spot some wildlife, including manatees and red-shouldered hawks, across the miles of sandy trails. Bert Winters Park is accessible by boat and offers multiple athletic facilities and a kayak launch. A day on the beach is always close by, as the lapping shores of Juno Beach are under 3 miles away. Nearby, the Juno Dunes Natural Area spans 569 acres of rolling dunes and scrubland and features the highest natural point in Palm Beach County. Golfers flock to Frenchman’s Creek Beach and Country Club’s championship-level golf courses. The club also has a fitness center, racquet sports and private beach access, allowing members to beat the crowds.

Waterfront estates along the Intracoastal

The neighborhood is home to Frenchman’s Creek Beach and Country Club, a private gated community with 600 homes across 700 acres. “It’s a very lush and spacious community,” Hyland says. The gated development was constructed in the 1980s and contains housing ranging from carriage homes to grand waterfront estates. Property on the Intracoastal is limited, but those with deep water access often have private docks and large watercraft. Boat ownership is still available for the rest of the residents at the full-service Loggerhead Club and Marina. Spanish-Revival houses are the predominant style, with well-manicured lawns in the front and private swimming pools with lakefront views in the back. A Property Owners Association provides numerous services, and prices in the community range between $1.5 million and $3 million. Outside of the gates, pastel-colored ranch-style homes and coastal-contemporary-style buildings sit on palm-tree-lined streets, costing between $600,000 and $2 million. Intracoastal property is also available here, with deep-water estate houses often topping $10 million. The neighborhood's proximity to the coast comes with flooding and wind risks, but higher elevation and updated building codes provide some protection, notes Hyland.

The Gardens Mall is a retail mecca

Frenchman’s Creek is almost entirely residential, but locals are close to the extensive shopping and dining at The Gardens Mall, just 4 miles away. “There’s Chanel, Louis Vuitton; it's like Rodeo Drive in a mall,” Hyland says. The retail mecca also has a movie theatre. Publix Super Market at Frenchman’s Crossing is down the street. Residents head to Thirsty Turtle Seagrill for tasty seafood straight from the ocean, while nearby, Juno Beach Café is a prime spot for some early morning breakfast food. St. Patrick Catholic Church is one of many houses of worship serving the area.

Community events and the Gardens Greenmarket

Frenchman’s Creek Beach and Country Club has year-round events designed to bring residents together. Happy hours, art classes and birthday bashes make up the social calendar, while numerous clubs and groups, like the philanthropy club, allow residents to focus on special interests. “Events here are constant,” Hyland says. “It's almost like a cruise.” The neighborhood is close to events organized by the city of Palm Beach Gardens, including the weekly Gardens Greenmarket, which features fresh produce, handmade goods and live entertainment.

Travel throughout South Florida by land or sea

"Frenchman’s Creek is in one of the best locations,” Hyland says. The neighborhood is conveniently located 16 miles from downtown West Palm Beach and just under 5 miles from Palm Beach Gardens. Most residents can access the Intracoastal via private boat docks or full-service marinas. Those traveling farther can head to Palm Beach International Airport, 18 miles away. Jupiter Medical Center is less than 5 miles north.
