Palm Beach Gardens Homes for Sale

The city's own operating millage is 5.0537 for tax year 2025, with no debt service levy, confirmed by the county property appraiser's certified table, its TRIM hearings page and the city's budget review board. The total on an actual bill adds county, school and district levies and comes to roughly 17.31 to 17.86 mills, but we are not publishing a precise total because two components could not be resolved: whether the county Fire Rescue MSTU of 3.4581 applies here, given the city runs its own fire department, and whether the county library levy of 0.5491 applies. That uncertainty is worth about $3,500 a year on a million-dollar assessment, so read the TRIM notice for the specific address.

It depends entirely on the community, and this is the biggest single variable in the city. BallenIsles, Mirasol, Old Palm and Frenchman's Creek all require a membership as a condition of ownership, costing between roughly $115,000 and $550,000 at closing plus annual dues in the tens of thousands. PGA National does not require membership at all, and the city also contains substantial conventional residential development with no club attached. Two identically priced homes can therefore differ enormously in what it actually costs to move in.

It sits mid-table and above several immediate neighbours. Juno Beach levies 1.8195 mills, Jupiter 2.3894 and Wellington 2.47, all well below the Gardens at 5.0537. Tequesta at 6.4595 and North Palm Beach at 7.4000 are higher, both of them villages that fund their own police and fire services. On a million dollars of taxable value the municipal line alone differs by roughly $2,700 a year between the Gardens and Jupiter.

No, and this comes up often enough to be worth correcting. Both are in Jupiter, not Palm Beach Gardens, and a great deal of local marketing copy places them here. Scripps Florida also no longer exists under that name: it became part of the University of Florida in 2022 and now operates as the Herbert Wertheim UF Scripps Institute. The Gardens does have a genuine medical corridor of its own, anchored by Palm Beach Gardens Medical Center, but the research institutes belong to the next town north.

Very, by the standards of this coast. Roughly 1,782 homes closed in the city over the trailing twelve months to mid-July 2026, at a median of about $810,000, a median 44 days on market and a 96.2 percent sale-to-list ratio. For comparison, several of the private club communities in Jupiter transact between four and fifteen times in an entire year. Depth of that kind means reliable comparables and a shorter path to a sale when you eventually exit.

The city is served by the School District of Palm Beach County. Among the schools associated with it, William T. Dwyer High grades A, Duncan Middle B, Palm Beach Gardens Community High C, Watkins Middle C and Grove Park Elementary C, with five elementaries at A. We have deliberately not attached a school year to those, because the district's published table carries no year label and we could not confirm it against the state's own release file. Assignments are made by address rather than by city, so confirm both the current grade and the zoning for any specific home with the district.
