West Palm Beach and the surrounding county draw families, millennials, and retirees with a quality of life few markets match — beaches, entertainment districts, and year-round outdoor living. If your dream is a brand-new home you can customize from the design studio up, Palm Beach County is delivering: from top national and regional builders, here are ten standout new-construction communities, spanning every product type from townhomes to waterfront penthouses.
1. Symphony Place — Attainable New Homes in West Palm Beach
A charming gated enclave of 40 single-family homes, each under 2,000 square feet with 4 bedrooms, 2.5 baths, and a two-car garage — finished with details like paver driveways and covered paver patios. Community life centers on a large pool and clubhouse beside a picturesque lake. Small, quiet, and city-convenient.
2. Forté on Flagler — Ultra-Luxury on the Waterfront
The most exclusive address on this list: 41 residences on South Flagler Drive (Two Road Development and Alpha Blue Ventures) with sweeping views of the Atlantic, the Intracoastal, and Palm Beach. Just two flow-through residences per floor — combinable into full-floor homes — each with a wraparound balcony delivering 1,000 square feet of outdoor living. Amenities run to a 75-foot lap pool and heated spa, private elevator foyers, his-and-hers spas with steam and sauna, a golf simulation room, and house cars.
3. Nautilus 220 — Marina-Front Living in Lake Park
On the Lake Park Harbor Marina, Nautilus 220 (Forest Development and Royal Palm Companies) spreads 330 residences of 1,500 to 3,400 square feet across two towers with unobstructed water views — penthouses crowned by 2,000-square-foot private rooftop terraces with summer kitchens and plunge pools. The mixed-use program makes it a self-contained world: retail, office suites, a cafe, the waterfront SeaHawk Prime by David Burke, plus a golf simulator, theater, billiards, bowling alley, soundproof studio, and resort-style pool.
4. Avenir — The 4,752-Acre Master Plan in Palm Beach Gardens
About 17 miles northwest of downtown West Palm Beach, Avenir is the county’s marquee master-planned community — 4,752 acres with more than 2,400 preserved as a nature preserve laced with trails, plus lakes, waterways, and miles of golf cart paths. Planned amenities include a working farm, large dog parks, and an approved Town Center with dining, retail, and offices. Golf anchors both ends: the Panther National Golf Club with its Performance Center and lounge, and the planned Nest Par 3 with its own clubhouse in Phase II.
The Subdivisions
- Apex at Avenir (GL Homes): single-family from the $800s* with resort amenities — beach-entry pool, kids park, party pavilion, EV charging
- Solana Bay (Akel Homes): 118 one- and two-story homes on Avenir’s largest lake, up to 6 bedrooms and 5,000+ square feet
- Avondale (DiVosta): family-friendly single-family, 2,000–3,400 square feet
- Regency at Avenir (Toll Brothers): luxury 55+ living in two collections, Tradewinds and Palms
- La Terre (K. Hovnanian): gated luxury single-family up to 4,100 square feet from the low $1 millions*
- Coral Isles (Kenco Communities): private gated estates on quarter-acre sites from $1.6M*
5. Sky Cove South of Westlake — The Value Play in the Western Corridor
A gated enclave of 197 single-family homes by award-winning Label & Co. (multiple Homeowners’ Choice Awards), following the success of the original Sky Cove. The location is the headline: just down the street from Westlake Adventure Park — a 15-acre destination with a 360,000-gallon lagoon pool, splash pad, playground, and BMX park. For new single-family construction at this price point in the county, the value is hard to beat.
6. Cresswind Palm Beach — Westlake’s Only 55+ Community
Kolter’s active-adult flagship in Westlake offers a dozen-plus floor plans across three collections — Bacal, Carson, and Hepburn — with up to five bedrooms and two-car garages. The Cresswind Clubhouse anchors the social calendar: outdoor pool, tennis and pickleball, arts and crafts studio, bocce, dog park, fitness center, and event lawn, wrapped in walking trails. The award-winning Cresswind Lifestyle Program (relationships, fitness, education, entertainment) runs the programming, and Westlake Adventure Park sits next door.
7. Lakeshore at the Fountains — Townhomes Near Everything
Lennar townhomes in Lake Worth with three models running 3–4 bedrooms and 1,700–1,820 square feet, plus a community pool, cabana, and clubhouse. The draw is position: minutes from dining, shopping, and entertainment with quick access to West Palm Beach and the Lake Worth Lagoon.
8. Heathwood Reserve — Gated Townhome Value in Lake Worth Beach
A gated, master-planned Lennar community of three-bedroom townhomes (1,600–1,800 square feet) eleven miles south of downtown West Palm Beach. Family-first amenities — community pool, pool house, tot lot, and a picturesque pond — at one of the most accessible new-construction price points near the city.
9. Windsong Estates — Minutes from Wellington
DiVosta’s 93-home gated community sits just minutes from the Mall at Wellington Green and the Florida Turnpike — effectively Wellington-adjacent living in new construction, which the village itself can’t offer. Homes run 1,900–2,500 square feet in two collections: Classic (four floor plans with covered outdoor living and flex space) and Estate (up to four bedrooms, 3.5 baths, three-car garages). The community is zoned for strong area schools including Palm Beach Central High and Discovery Key Elementary, and amenities include pickleball, a pool and cabana, and a community fiber network included with the HOA.
10. Greyhawk Landing — Boutique Upscale in Lake Worth
DiVosta’s boutique upscale community: 131 one- and two-story homes from 1,900 to 3,600 square feet in Classic and Estate collections, with lake-view homesites, open-concept indoor-outdoor floor plans, a resort-style pool and cabana, and a modern fitness center. Two details deserve attention: no CDD fees — a real monthly savings versus many new communities, since Community Development District assessments otherwise ride on your tax bill for decades — and a location minutes from the Turnpike, the beaches, and Wellington, with PBI, downtown West Palm, and Delray Beach all inside half an hour. Area schools include Royal Palm School and Western Academy Charter School.
Before You Visit Any Sales Center — The New-Construction Rules
- Register your agent on the first visit: Builders require your agent to accompany or register you at first contact — show up alone and you may lose your right to representation that the builder pays for; it costs you nothing and gets you a negotiator who knows the builders’ playbooks
- The model is not the contract: Builder contracts differ fundamentally from resale contracts — deposits, timelines, escalation clauses, and design-center pricing all favor the builder until someone negotiates otherwise
- Ask about the CDD: Many master-planned communities carry CDD assessments on the tax bill — factor them into your true monthly cost when comparing communities (and note when a community like Greyhawk has none)
- New construction’s insurance edge: Current-code construction and a brand-new roof typically mean meaningfully better insurance pricing — part of the total-cost math worth running before you choose new versus resale
- Wellington buyers, look west and east: The village is essentially built out — the new-construction action is in Westlake and the western corridor (Sky Cove, Cresswind) and the Wellington-adjacent Lake Worth communities (Windsong, Greyhawk) on this list
Bottom Line
Palm Beach County’s new-construction menu has never been broader — $400s townhomes to $14M waterfront residences, active-adult villages to 4,700-acre master plans. The right community depends on your budget, your lifestyle, and the fine print in the builder’s contract. Bring representation from day one, and let’s find the community — and negotiate the deal — that actually fits.
