Community Overview: Smith Farm Hammock

Location: Lake Worth, FL, Palm Beach County. Part of the Central PBC Family Communities cluster.

Price band: $395K–$590K. Construction era: 1990s. HOA structure: Master HOA (Smith Farm) + sub-village HOA (Hammock).

Community character: Smith Farm Hammock is a 1990s sub-village within Smith Farm in Lake Worth. The preserve-backed positioning is the primary price driver — lots that back to the preserve carry no rear neighbor development risk, which commands a premium in western Palm Beach County. Confirm via parcel data whether your specific lot backs to the preserve and what conservation easement or buffer terms apply before any offer. The layered HOA means two sets of financials to review. Palm Beach Central HS is the expected school zone.

Contact Brian Wilder at 561-201-4717 for current inventory and HOA financials at both levels.

Preserve-backed advisory: Confirm via parcel data whether your specific lot backs to the preserve. Understand what conservation easement or buffer terms apply — this affects what can be built behind the lot and what maintenance obligations may exist. This is the primary value driver in Hammock; verify it per lot, not per community, before any offer.

School zone: Palm Beach Central HS is the expected zone. Verify with the specific address at palmbeachschools.org before any offer.
