Need info. on Greenacres (Boynton Beach, Wellington: real estate, broker, homes)

[mrs.marianne]

Hello everyone, my family and I are relocating to Greenacres in about 2 months. My husband received a job transfer from Saint Petersburg. We fell in love with the homes in a new gated community called Sagewood.
Off of Forest Hill Blvd. and Jog Road. Can anyone tell me about the area. I have 3 school age children, who would be attending Pine Jog elementary school and Okeeheelee Middle school. When we looked at the neighborhood, we liked what we saw, but after reading some negative posts on here of Greenacres....I am beginning to wonder.
Thanks in advance

I would not consider the Sagewood community to be in Greenacres, its in unincorporated PBC and demographically closer to Wellington. The less desirable part of Greenacres is between Lake Worth Road and 10th Avenue North. You'll probably do most of your shopping in Wellington or along Southern Blvd.

Both the schools you mention are generally well regarded as is Palm Beach Central HS. With the community being close to the landing approach at PBIA, is noise a problem?

There is no airport noise since the flight path is over Southern Blvd. which is 4/5 miles away. You should also consider the gated community RiverBridge on the corner of Forest Hill and Jog. It has many sub-developments within the main gate, a very nice clubhouse/pool and other amenities. The RiverBridge Shopping Center with a Publix, Walgreens, 2 banks, 5 or 6 restaurants and many small shops is just outside the gate within walking distance or drive without going on to any highway.

I am a licensed FL real estate broker who was born in Florida. I currently live just south of the area you mention above. There are so many nice communities both new and re-sales all within 5-10 miles of that area. Definately looking west between military trail out into wellington is more family oriented like you are loooking for. Riverbridge has some great deals on new construction as well. If you come a little south into Lake Worth or Boynton Beach (10 inute drive) there are great family communities with A rated schools as well. Please let me know if I can be of any additional assistance.

I grew up there and I turned out fine!!!!

No, really, I did, but WAY back in the day when all of that development wasn't even there. I had a great time playing in all of the neighborhoods, it was a safe place. Purdy lane and Jog vicinity!!
