About
John D. MacArthur announced Palm Beach Gardens in 1959 as a garden city of tree- and flower-lined streets, and in 1965 the PGA of America moved into a clubhouse here, on a course that later became BallenIsles. PGA National's Champion Course hosts a PGA Tour event every spring, and golf-course communities such as Old Palm, BallenIsles, Mirasol and PGA National cover much of the city. PGA Boulevard carries The Gardens Mall, offices, hotels and mixed-use blocks, and I-95 and Florida's Turnpike both cross the city. The city reaches the Intracoastal only on its eastern edge; the nearest ocean beach, in Juno Beach, is about 15 minutes away.

Frequently Asked Questions
Common questions about buying and investing in this area
What is Palm Beach Gardens known for?
Palm Beach Gardens is known for championship golf at PGA National, where a PGA Tour event is played each spring, for John D. MacArthur's 1959 garden-city plan, and for PGA Boulevard and The Gardens Mall.
What types of properties are available in Palm Beach Gardens?
Most homes are single-family houses in master-planned and golf-club communities, alongside townhouses and a smaller condominium stock, much of it built since the turn of the century. Golf-course estates in communities such as Old Palm sit at the top of the market, and Avenir is a large master-planned development in the western part of the city.
What amenities and landmarks does Palm Beach Gardens offer?
Golf courses at PGA National, BallenIsles and other communities run through the city, and The Gardens Mall and the rest of PGA Boulevard hold shops, restaurants and offices. The Burns Road Community Center includes the historic Lakeside Center, and the Intracoastal Waterway touches the city's eastern edge.
What should buyers check before purchasing in Palm Beach Gardens?
Many golf communities come with mandatory or equity club memberships and initiation fees on top of HOA dues, so confirm exactly what is required. Newer communities such as Avenir carry Community Development District assessments on the tax bill, and it is worth checking that a Palm Beach Gardens address actually lies inside the city.
How do residents get around Palm Beach Gardens?
I-95 and Florida's Turnpike run through the city, with PGA Boulevard, Military Trail and Northlake Boulevard as the main roads. Palm Beach International Airport is about 20 to 25 minutes by car without traffic. The city has no rail station; the nearest Brightline station is in West Palm Beach.
