Elbridge Gale Elementary School

It's a solid choice for families, sitting inside Wellington's well-known suburban community and feeding into respected schools like Wellington High School. The housing leans toward pool and waterfront homes, with 58 of 88 active listings offering a pool. That combination of schools and outdoor-oriented homes is what keeps demand steady here.

The median list price is $588,500, which puts it in the mid-to-upper range for Palm Beach County suburbs. That said, the range is wide — listings start around $265,000 and climb past $7.4 million — so there's room for different budgets. At an average $456 per square foot, you're paying for location and features like pools and water frontage.

Over the last 12 months, 53 homes sold at a median price of $509,000, while active listings currently show a median of $588,500. The typical home runs about 1,750 square feet at roughly $456 per square foot. Twenty-five of the active listings are priced above $1 million, so the top end is well represented.

It's balanced rather than frantic — homes are taking a median of 60 days to sell, and sellers are getting about 96% of their asking price. With 88 active listings against 53 sales in the past year, buyers have meaningful selection. You can watch inventory move in real time on the live map.

The median property tax here runs about $8,196 per year, which is typical for homes in this price band. HOA figures aren't consistently reported across the active listings, so it's worth confirming per property — 13 of the current listings are in gated communities, where fees are more likely. If you're weighing renting, the median rent in the zone is about $3,500 a month.
