Room for a barn and space between homes. Here is how life works in Homeland, what five acres cost, and what to check on the barn, the wells and the HOA rules before you offer.
MLS listing descriptions identify Homeland as a gated neighborhood of roughly 5-acre equestrian estates that most people search as "Homeland Wellington," though 9 of its 10 recent sales carried a Lake Worth, FL 33449 address. In the 12 months to September 30, 2026, 10 homes sold at a $2,150,000 median, from $1,600,000 to $4,000,000 (Flexmls). Most HOA fees on MLS records run about $200 to $320 a month. Updated October 26, 2026.
Nobody moves to Homeland for a clubhouse. A typical morning is feeding horses before the heat, then a short drive to the International Polo Club or the show grounds at Wellington International when the season is on. The trade for that much land is that everything else, from groceries to dinner, is a drive, and resale takes patience.
Is Homeland in Wellington?
Not by its address. Nine of the ten Homeland homes sold in the last 12 months carried a Lake Worth city of record in the MLS, nearly all in ZIP 33449; one was listed under Wellington. People call it Homeland Wellington because life here points toward Wellington's equestrian scene. When you shop, search both names. When you sign, go by the legal description and the tax bill.
What homes cost
Homeland at a glance (Flexmls, closed Oct 1, 2025 to Sept 30, 2026; listings Sept 30, 2026)
| Detail | Homeland |
|---|---|
| Sales, last 12 months | 10 |
| Median / average sale | $2,150,000 / $2,359,444 |
| Sale range | $1,600,000 to $4,000,000 |
| Typical lot | 5.00 to 5.12 acres on every recent sale |
| Living area sold | 2,427 to 5,908 sq ft |
| Year built, homes sold | 1987 to 2015 |
| Median time to sell | 145 cumulative days on market |
| Months of supply, Sept 30 | About 9.6 |
Ten sales a year is a thin market, and one large farm moves the average, so read the range with the median. You are buying land first and the house second: recent listings range from a three-stall block barn with irrigated paddocks to 1980s and 1990s homes that a buyer will renovate or replace.
Schools
The School District of Palm Beach County assigns schools by address, and Homeland homes can fall in different zones, so confirm the exact property with the district (School District). Magnet and choice programs are on the district's school choice page (palmbeachschools.org/studentsparents/school-choice). Private options include Wellington Collegiate Academy at 12794 Forest Hill Boulevard, Suite 14B (VPK to grade 9, about 8.8 miles), Trinity Christian Academy at 7259 South Military Trail (PK to 12, about 10.4 miles) and Berean Christian School at 8350 Okeechobee Boulevard (PK to 12, about 10.9 miles). Ask each school about admissions, tuition and transportation.

What to check before you buy
- The HOA and the rules, in writing. MLS records show fees from about $200 to more than $600 a month, most between $200 and $320, and one active listing shows $1,900. Get the current budget and governing documents from the association. If you plan to board, breed, train or run any horse business, read the current rules yourself.
- The barn and the land. A barn is a building: roof, electrical, water, drainage and fencing get inspected like the house. So do the wells and the septic.
- Insurance. Not every carrier wants barns, arenas and outbuildings. Get a real quote before your inspection period ends.
- Resale math. The dated sample had a median of 145 cumulative days on market. That small sample does not predict the marketing time for an individual property.
Inspect roof, electrical, water, drainage and fencing, along with wells and septic.
Obtain a quote that covers the house, acreage and intended equestrian use before your inspection period ends.
The honest drawback
There is no clubhouse, no gym and no social calendar, and you cannot walk to dinner. You own wells, septic and outbuildings, insurance takes extra work, and a thin buyer pool means you should plan to stay a while. If you may need to sell quickly in a few years, look elsewhere.
Selling a home in Homeland?
Most Homeland buyers are selling something first: a Wellington house that has run out of room for the horses, a home in the Gardens, a place up north. Your buyer may also price a lot and a new custom build. If your property has a finished barn, wells and fencing, show buyers the condition, permits and remaining work rather than assuming every improvement is approved. The Wilder Way to Sell Against the Builder (drive.google.com/file/d/1jtXi073VZ5QwckediroDJDBANtEq8okf/view) shows how to present that.
