Westlake
Palm Beach County's newest city, built from scratch for modern families.
Westlake is what happens when a master developer buys an entire citrus grove and builds a city from scratch. Incorporated in 2016 as Palm Beach County's 39th municipality, it sits 30 minutes west of downtown West Palm Beach, and it's growing at a rate that makes most cities look slow. Population went from 906 in 2020 to nearly 10,700 projected in 2026. Everything here is new: new homes, new roads, new parks, and a commercial corridor with Lowe's, Walmart, and a Publix plaza that's seen 116% foot traffic growth since opening. The lifestyle centers around the $22 million Westlake Adventure Park, a resort-style lagoon pool, water slides, BMX pump track, and basketball courts that residents can access without leaving the city. Neighborhoods range from Cresswind Palm Beach (55+ gated, Kolter Homes) to Sky Cove (modern coastal-inspired, Label & Co.) to The Oaks (Minto's newest launch from the mid-$400s). Median sale prices run around $650K, with townhomes starting in the $300s and luxury estates pushing past $1.2M. The downside: it's still far west. If you work on the coast or need quick access to downtown West Palm, budget 30-45 minutes each way. But for families who want modern construction, resort amenities, and a clean slate without renovation headaches, Westlake is one of the strongest options in South Florida right now.
