Recently named in the Top 50 master-planned communities in the U.S. by the prestigious John Burns Real Estate Consulting, Westlake is an up-and-coming community situated in north-western Palm Beach County. Located in the city by the same name, the newest city of Palm Beach County, Westlake is developed by Minto Communities USA and consists of over 4,500 homes spread across 3,800 acres.
Westlake: An Introduction
Founded in 2016, Westlake is the name of an increasingly popular city in Palm Beach County as well as the community at its center. Named after the Weston area of Florida, for which it shares a county border, Westlake is a small yet energetic community that offers several many amenities and attractions for those looking to move away from the more metropolitan areas of South Florida. Mike Belmont, president of Minto Communities USA, describes Westlake as designed “to celebrate the best of today with innovative and ambitious thinking while considering the possibilities of tomorrow.” This motto is palpable as one considers the design of both the homes within the community and the community itself.
Westlake offers a wide variety of home designs catered to the varied demographics that make up the city. From modest townhomes to grand 6-bedroom homes, Westlake ensures that every type of family has a residence that suits their needs. Minto also strives to ensure that each home, regardless of size, utilizes the newest and most high-end “Green” technologies to ensure they not only save one money, but save the environment as well. These technologies include energy efficient double-paned low-emissivity windows, efficient central air cooling systems, insulated fiberglass doors, and energy-saving LED light bulbs. These eco-friendly features demonstrate Minto’s commitment to creating homes that are both comfortable and socially responsible.
A Home Beyond Your Home
Beyond its homes, Westlake also offers an incredible collection of amenities - not least of which is the grandiose Westlake Adventure Park, a resort-style park filled to the brim with activities and playgrounds for people of all ages to enjoy. These amenities include a lagoon pool, multiple basketball courts, an outdoor concert pavilion, and dog park. Additionally, the Adventure Park also includes a BMX Pump Park for bike enthusiasts as well as a waterpark for those hot summer days.
Outside of the community itself, Minato also plans on developing a wide array of destinations for residents of all ages. This includes the Westlake Town Center, a collection of restaurants and boutiques at the center of Westlake, as well as a new park to the south of the community. Minato hopes that these destinations together will eventually act as the “social hub” for members of the community to gather and get to know each other. Regardless, Westlake currently offers a variety of stores and shopping plazas - not to mention convenient access to a plethora of A- and B-rated schools as well as top-rated Florida colleges.
