Loxahatchee, Florida

It's a strong fit if you want space and a rural feel while staying inside Palm Beach County. Established acreage communities like The Acreage, Deer Run, and Loxahatchee Groves sit alongside newer development at Arden, and families are commonly zoned for Seminole Ridge Community High School. The trade-off is a quieter, more spread-out setting than the coastal towns.

It sits in the mid-to-upper range for the county. The current active listing is priced at $509,000, while homes sold over the past 12 months carried a median sold price of $799,500 — a gap that reflects how much lot size and home type drive value here. At roughly $265 per square foot, pricing depends heavily on acreage and finishes.

Today there's one active single-family homes listing at $509,000, and average pricing runs about $265 per square foot on a median size near 1,921 square feet. Because inventory is so limited, the sold data tells a fuller story — the median sold price over the past year was $799,500.

It's an extremely low-inventory market: just one active listing and four homes sold in the past 12 months. Homes that did sell went for about 97% of asking, and the current listing has been on the market around 66 days. Buyers should be patient but prepared to act when something fits.

The median HOA runs about $394 per month, though many of Loxahatchee's unrecorded acreage parcels carry no association at all — fees like this typically apply to planned communities such as Arden. The median property tax is around $6,866 per year, so factor both into your monthly budget depending on the community.
