Baywinds: 7 things
the modern WPB option.

1. Built 2000-2006 Means Modern Hurricane Codes

Impact-rated windows, reinforced construction, current electrical standards. No 50-year-old buildings. No SB 4-D milestone inspections required. This peace of mind has a price premium over Century Village, but the financial predictability is significant.

2. The HOA Is Straightforward

$280/month covers gated entry, common areas, pool, clubhouse, and landscaping. No bundled cable, water, or building insurance. You know exactly what you are paying for, and unexpected HOA increases are driven by fewer variables than all-inclusive models.

3. Conventional Financing Is Available

Unlike many Century Village buildings, Baywinds qualifies for standard Fannie/Freddie mortgages. This broadens your buyer pool at resale and gives you financing options if needed.

4. Downtown WPB Access Is Strong

15 minutes to CityPlace, Kravis Center, Norton Museum, and the waterfront. PBI Airport is 10 minutes. The WPB location provides cultural and travel access that Boynton Beach cannot match.

5. WPB Millage Is the Trade

West Palm Beach has the highest city millage in PBC at ~21.0 mills. On a $400K home, you pay ~$430/month in property tax. The same home in unincorporated PBC would be ~$365/month. The WPB convenience costs $65/month.

6. The Amenity Package Is Mid-Tier

Resort pool, fitness center, tennis courts, social programming. Not the 39,000 sq ft clubhouse of Valencia Sound, but well-equipped and well-maintained. Scaled for 1,082 homes.

7. It Fills the Gap WPB Needed

Before Baywinds, WPB 55+ options were limited to legacy condos (Century Village, Golden Lakes Village, Cypress Lakes). Baywinds created a modern alternative. For buyers who want to live in WPB without inheriting 1970s construction, this is the option.
