Gated community with something for young, old, active or not

The gated community of Breakers West in Royal Palm Beach offers a recreational environment that can appeal to nearly every appetite, including two country clubs that buzz with activity and a kid’s zone that features games, arts and crafts and movies. “You don’t have to leave the community to have a social life; you don’t have to leave to have fun,” says Mark Bradshaw of the Keyes Company, who has sold property in the community. “You can be a social butterfly if you want, or you can be a home hermit if you want. You have options.”

Natural landscape is enhanced by Breakers West, Mayacoo Lakes golf courses

Residents enjoy walkability in the 670-acre community that doubles as a bit of a wildlife sanctuary, complemented by a collection of man-made lakes and enhanced by the golf courses at Breakers West Country Club and Mayacoo Lakes Country Club. They are the area’s biggest draw, according to Marki Flurschutz, a local assistant golf professional at Mayacoo Lakes, one of the first golf courses designed by PGA legend Jack Nicklaus. Club membership does not come with home ownership. In addition to golf, both country clubs feature swimming pools, athletic courts and on-site dining. Breakers West offers a renovated fitness center, and Mayacoo Lakes has men’s and women’s card rooms. The community is affiliated with The Breakers, a well-known luxury resort on the West Palm Beach waterfront a little more than 10 miles away. Residents get discounted rates to use the resort’s amenities, including its private beach. iThink Financial Amphitheater, a popular venue at the nearby South Florida Fairgrounds, provides an entertaining respite from the daily activities of community living.

Mediterranean motif is prominent among diversity of architectural styles

While the Mediterranean motif is prominent here, architectural diversity is spread throughout the community’s 14 neighborhoods. Ranch, Spanish Mission, Victorian, Tudor and modern styles are represented. Prices vary widely as well. Homes on smaller lots range in price from under $500,000 to around $1 million. Larger lots feature homes priced from $1.25 million to about $2.5 million. Estate-style homes typically range from $3 million to $4 million. HOA fees range from $458 to $1,082 a month. “Once somebody gets in there, they tend not to leave,” Bradshaw says, “So the market is a little tighter than in other communities.” The neighborhood’s inland location protects it from flooding. However, wind damage can be a major risk during hurricane season.
