UPDATE ON ARDEN, NEW WEST PALM BEACH COMMUNITY



If you’ve recently driven west on Southern Boulevard past the Lion Country Safari turn, you’ve no doubt seen the construction site for Arden, a massive housing community.  It is across from a wildlife refuge.  Amenities map is below.
The 2,000-home project will span 1,200 acres and builders are expecting to complete some model homes by the beginning of 2017. It’s located in unincorporated Palm Beach County, west of Wellington and Loxahatchee Groves.   Location is 12 minutes from world-class equestrian competition, many shops, restaurants, and event venues. The workers are currently burying power lines and building more than six miles of utility and drainage piping.

Plans for the community include 19 miles of walking and biking trails and 176 acres of lakes, giving it a natural feel. The central lake will be one mile long.  Sweeping lake vistas and shady nooks are around the lake. The community will also have a functioning 5-acre farm that will have harvesting events for the residents. This will be in keeping with the area’s rich agricultural history.    Residents can attend seasonal cooking classes, harvest events and farm-to-fork meals. After the utility work and building a guard house, workers will move their attention to the clubhouse, which will have pools and private cabanas.  Most homes will backup to a park, greenway or nature trail. Community emphasis is on healthy living and outdoor life.  A wifi café and community clubs will be available,  clubs will be available, 4 Har-Tru tennis courts, and multiple playfields.



Bass fishing, bird watching, kayaking, fishing and epic picnicking are featured.  The clubhouse offers an outdoor patio and resort-style pool on two levels. The upper pool has private cabanas in a peaceful environment.  The lower pool has an interactive splash pad and multiple fountains. The Hub, within the clubhouse, will offer tea and coffee, a great place to relax with friends.

A short ride east will take you to downtown West Palm Beach and City Place, the Convention Center, and Palm Beach.  There are endless choices in the area of activities in the area to enjoy.
