Loxahatchee...whats it like? (West Palm Beach, Wellington: condos, zoned, house)

[deevee]

Hi
Im wondering what Loxahatchee, FL is like. Ive seen some amazing properties, and Im just wondering if the area will be too rural for me.
How far away is shopping, restaurants, movies, etc?
Thanks

I don't live in Loxahatchee but had thought about moving there.

It used to be where you really didn't have anything out that way. Now there are grocery stores and a few other scattered businesses and restaurants. I BELIEVE there's a Publix at Seminole Pratt and Orange, but I'm not sure. It is out there though. I've also heard there is/was a Winn Dixie out that way but don't know if it's still open. The majority of what you're looking for will be along Southern Blvd. I know that starting at Royal Palm Beach Blvd and heading east there are a number of places.

You'll find a LOT of things at the intersection of Southern and SR 7. Your closest movie theater will be on SR 7 between Belvedere and Okeechobee (behind Friendly's).

If I hadn't already become settled in the area I'm at now, I'd go live there.

Hope this helps!

I lived in The Acreage for 10 years. Just sold it 6 months ago. If I were to stay in FL (I'm in GA now) I would have stayed there. Loxahatchee is a great place to live. There is a very expensive area by Lion County Safari. And a less expensive area in the unicorporated area known as The Acreage. We were actually zoned as West Palm Beach 33412 since we were east of Seminole Pratt Whitney Rd.

The prices have come down dramatically over the last few years. Used to be you couldn't touch a decent house for under $400,000. Now you can by a fantastic property for high $200's low $300's. Check on zip codes 33470 (Loxahatchee) and 33412 (West Palm Beach).

There are 3 Publix's very close. 1 in The Acreage on Seminole Pratt and Orange Blvd. 1 on Royal Palm Beach Blvd. And 1 on Northlake Blvd by Ibis Country Club. There is also a Winn Dixie shopping center further south on Seminole Pratt close by the High School. If you want malls, shopping, night life etc. You are only a 10-20 minute drive to Palm Beach Gardens, downtown West Palm Beach, and Wellington.

We did all of most of our shopping on 441/SR7 in Royal Palm Beach. But there are 2 awesome malls, 1 in Wellington and 1 in Palm Beach Gardens. There are also 2 huge movie theaters. A million shops and restaraunts.

If you have any other questions you can IM me. :-)

Win dixie, blockbuster shopping strip within a 4 mile radius, publix and shopping plaza with restaurants and bar is within a 5 mile radius.. shopping in royal palm beach is about 8 miles away.
Wellington nearby.
Lion Country Safari one of florida's best attraction is in the area.
There are many churches in the area. A golf course. a Highschool that was built about 5 years ago(looks like new).. There are plans for more shops and condos to come in the area where the orange groves used to be.

All of that and it still feels like its a way from the busy/bustle of the crowded areas. You can escape to your 1.5 acre minimum retreat.

People there tend to make it their dream house and final destination.
