A suburban community with a growing sense of home pride
Golfview Heights gets its name from sitting above the town of Golfview, which was then located next to a municipal golf course. When the course was redeveloped into what is now Palm Beach International Airport, noise and congestion impacted surrounding communities. The town of Golfview was dissolved in 1987, and its land and properties were purchased to make way for more airport expansion. But its namesake, Golfview Heights, survived. Since then, the community has continued to emphasize revitalization efforts through home renovations and the help of its new neighbor. “I first started selling homes in the Golfview Heights in 2012, and it was a bit run-down,” says Eli Williams, a real estate broker with Royal International Realty with ten years of experience in the area. “Because it’s right next to Palm Beach International Airport, homes are much less expensive. Now buyers are investing in fixer-uppers and renovating.
Revitalized mid-century homes
These homes come in the form of ranch-style houses built in the 1950s and 60s, showcased through front picture windows and carports. Lengthwise positioning gives them curb appeal that can be appreciated from the community’s sidewalks, which have stately palm trees sprinkled throughout. Depending on size and condition, those looking to purchase a home within Golfview Heights can expect a price range from $250,000 to $450,000.

The Annual Westgate Turkey Shoot
The Westgate Parks and Recreation Center hosts the Annual Westgate Turkey Shoot each year. Here, neighbors of all ages come together to compete in a series of games like a turkey hunt, turkey sack race and a three-point shooting contest, with winners taking home a free turkey to cook on Thanksgiving.
The sounds of Palm Beach International Airport
“Golfview Heights is on the corporate side of the airport,” Williams says. “Private jets that fly in and out of there are required to have silencers, which cut the noise down significantly." However, this does not fully eliminate the noise of non-corporate flights coming in and out, which should be considered by those who are sensitive to overhead noise before purchasing a home in the community.
