I'm planning to buy a home this summer and need some suggestions for communities with the following:
  1. Palm Beach County preferred, but open to other areas
  2. Single family or detached one story home, top quality and design
  3. Under $450K (after prices adjust to current market conditions)
  4. Good neighborhood for active 52-year-old widow with grown kids
  5. Under 10 years old or new construction preferred
  6. Within a half hour of a major airport
  7. Community pool, exercise facility, and walking trails would be great

I'm most familiar with Palm Beach Gardens, Jupiter, and Juno Beach, where there are some wonderful communities. Most of the homes in my price range seem to be 15 to 20 years old. I want something newer. Also, if you know a great Realtor, please pass along a name. Any ideas?

Thanks in advance for your help.

Check out the Mayfair in Wellington. Walking distance to mall, library, community center and grocery stores restaurants. It is gated, geared towards 55 and over, walking trails. It was finished this year I believe. They are townhouses and condos with garages. Very nice community! Here is a listing for a rental/sale in there with nice pictures. I have no connection to this unit or realtors.

Abacoa in Jupiter fits that bill perfectly! It's a "new urban" planned development, about 7 years old in its oldest parts, and still building new construction.

There's a town center with weekly events, shops, dining. Airport is 20 minutes away, downtown West Palm is 15 minutes away, The Gardens Mall is 10 minutes away, the beach is 10 minutes away. Highway is 5 minutes away. There are nature trails and greenways, bike paths, schools, an FAU satellite campus offering "lifelong learning" classes, and the area plays hosts to baseball games, art fairs, car shows, etc. etc. etc.

Check it out!! There are several homes under your price range for sale right now throughout the different neighborhoods. This home, for example, is 435k:
