Built from the late-1980s to the early-1990s, Palm Shores has mature tropical landscaping and 225 stylish single family homes, most of which are single story, Mediterranean-style with a gray or pink-ish stucco exterior and red tile roof. Floor plans range from approximately 1,800 square feet to 2,100 square feet with two to three bedrooms and two baths. Standard features include a large master bedroom, a screened lanai and an eat-in kitchen. The homes are set close together on cozy lanes with nautical names (Catamaran, Leeward Passage, Yardarm, Sextant and others). Yards are on the small side but have palm trees, willow trees, fruit trees and flowering bushes. Driveways are concrete or brick paver, and garages face the street.

Prices start in the high-$300,000s. The HOA fee is $367 per month. Please check with a Realtor to verify these prices as they may change.

Homeowners regularly gather in the clubhouse for a cup of coffee, a card game or a potluck. Dozens of groups and clubs, including ones for book lovers, gardeners, golfers and more, keep residents active.

Clubhouse amenities include a swimming pool, a fitness center, tennis courts and a theater for live performances. Ponds dot the grounds.

Boynton Beach sits along the Intracoastal Waterway, and beaches are across the water in Ocean Ridge. The largest beach, Oceanfront Park, is clean and has a nice canopied boardwalk. The waterfront has undergone a multi-million dollar marina renovation that has expanded the "old salt" fishing and boating facility into a pedestrian-friendly, downtown destination with dining, shopping, businesses and entertainment.

Bethesda Hospital East is in Boynton Beach and is accredited by the Joint Commission. It is also a primary stroke center.

Summer temperatures are in the 80s and 90s, while winter temperatures are in the 50s and 60s. On average, the area receives 50 inches of rain per year.

Florida:

Named Pascua Florida by Juan Ponce De Leon, the Sunshine State did not enter the Union until March 3, 1845. Balmy mild winters began attracting "snowbirds" to the state in the late 19th century, and retirees continue to flock to the state today. It's not hard to see why tourism has become Florida's leading industry.

International trade and citrus are also major contributors to the state's economy. Eighty percent of the nation's oranges and grapefruits are grown here, and 40 percent of all U.S. exports to Latin America flow through Florida.

Florida's landscape includes uplands and coastal plains. It contains more than 11,000 miles of waterways and about 4,500 islands.

Florida also has 1,045 golf courses, more than any other state in the Union. The 47 mile Pinellas Trail is the longest urban trail on the east coast. Orlando theme parks attract more visitors than any other theme parks in the U.S. The only place in the world where alligators and crocodiles co-exist is in National Everglades Park.

Is Everyone in a 55+ Community Really 55+?

Not everyone who lives in a 55+ community is age 55 or better. Generally, at least 80% of residents must be at least age 55 (and at least one occupant of each housing unit must be age 55), while the remaining 20% may be younger (but usually at least age 45). Children are allowed to visit but generally cannot stay more than two weeks at a time. It is also usually the case that older, more established 55+ communities have an older residential demographic.
