Convenient location gives Emerald Dunes a glow
A Walmart around the corner, a Publix across the street and enough restaurants to satisfy any craving. They’re the manifestation of what local Realtor John Mike describes as Emerald Dunes’ biggest asset: its location. This patch of West Palm Beach places multiple gated condo communities in proximity to a cornucopia of commercial amenities and the popular Emerald Dunes golf club. It’s a combination that helps make this a well-liked place to live. “It’s nested like a hideaway,” says Michael Bartley, a local realtor with EthanMour Realty, who has a dozen years of real estate experience. “Working professionals and families live there because they enjoy the gated security. And the golf course is in your backyard.”
Variety still comes in Emerald Dunes’ compact package
Emerald Dunes encompasses multiple separate developments, including The Villas at Emerald Dunes, The Links at Emerald Dunes and Ventura Greens. The communities share similar Mediterranean-inspired design language, but each offers something a little different. The Villas’ condos come with floor plans ranging from one bedroom and one bathroom to three bedrooms with two bathrooms. The Links has bigger units, stretching to three bedrooms and three bathrooms and ditto for Ventura Greens, where there are some three-bedroom and three-and-a-half-bath options. Pricing follows a similar trend, with options at the entry level available in the $200,000s in The Villas and The Links, and the bigger homes in Ventura Greens pushing into the low $400,000s. “They sell. It’s a lively market,” Mike says. All three communities date back to the early 2000s and come with shared amenities like pools.

Grassy Waters Preserve gives locals a nearby outdoor recreation option
The Grassy Waters Preserve, just about a 10-mile drive up Florida’s Turnpike from Emerald Dunes, is a spot people in the area enjoy. The preserve stretches 23 square miles, a wetlands expanse that comes with multiple trails to peruse. The Apoxee Trail is one of the popular paths in Grassy Waters, stretching almost 3 miles. Golf lovers, meanwhile, can explore membership to the neighborhood’s namesake golf club, a private 18-hole course known in part for its good condition.

Savor the soul of West Palm Beach
Residents here have a front-row seat to West Palm Beach’s hefty list of community events. The annual 4th on Flagler is one of the highlights, known as the biggest free Fourth of July celebration of its kind around South Florida, sprawling across the city’s waterfront. The Soul in the City Jazz Experience is another staple of the summer in West Palm Beach, a series of concerts held on the third Wednesday of July, August and September, at Lake Pavilion. Locals can also enjoy the West Palm Beach GreenMarket, a popular farmers market, for much of the year. The market’s main season is Saturdays from October to April, but there’s also a smaller version dubbed The Mini that happens on Thursday evenings in May and June.
Okeechobee Boulevard opens the door to convenience
Emerald Dunes’ location just off bustling Okeechobee Boulevard places it close to locals’ pick of commercial offerings. The close-by Lake Point Centre shopping plaza features a Walmart Neighborhood Market, an Anytime Fitness and a Tropical Smoothie Cafe, and stands adjacent to a Walgreens Pharmacy. People can hop across Okeechobee to stop by the neighboring Publix or Home Depot. Or, if cooking doesn't fit in the schedule, Pete’s Place — around the corner from the Publix and Home Depot — is a hit. “Pete’s Place is very popular for breakfast and lunch,” says Mike, who has lived in the region for more than 20 years. Nearby Duffy’s Sports Grill is “extremely popular,” too, Mike says. It’s a spot to stop by in the evening for a game and a basket of wings.

Take Florida’s Turnpike around the region
People in Emerald Dunes can take advantage of their proximity to Florida’s Turnpike to head north and south around the rest of South Florida. Jupiter is just over 20 miles away on the turnpike, for example. Also, Okeechobee Boulevard connects to Interstate 95, which can also take people up and down the coast. Okeechobee has multiple stops in the area’s Palm Tran bus system, too, and that road can be used for trips toward the Palm Beach International Airport, about half a dozen miles away.
