Minto Communities USA recently announced that its award-winning community, Westlake, has once again been recognized among the top 50 master-planned communities in the United States. Westlake has climbed the ranks on the RCLCO Real Estate Consulting mid-2024 listing, moving up from the 31st position in 2023 to now being ranked 24th.
With a population nearing 7,000, Westlake is one of the fastest-growing communities in all of Florida. Conceived to be the “new downtown” for central Palm Beach County, Westlake is a lifestyle-focused, mixed-use community encompassing 3,800 acres with the capacity for 6,500 homes and 2.2 million square feet of retail, restaurant, office and other commercial development.
Westlake offers townhomes, single-family homes and estate homes starting in the $300s. This summer, Minto opened four furnished models at its newest townhome neighborhood, the Terraces. The Terraces offer 3- and 4-bedroom homes from the new Courtyard Collection and is immediately adjacent to the newly opened Westlake Fitness Trail, a 39-acre linear park. The trail features a one-mile asphalt path carved around a scenic lake and a circuit of nine fitness stations strategically installed along the way.
With a full range of resort-style amenities, Westlake homeowners can enjoy the $22 million Westlake Adventure Park. The park features a large lagoon pool with a tower water slide, a splash pad, Snack Shack and Scoops Ice Cream poolside concessions, a BMX pump park, a children’s playground, an expansive lawn area with a concert pavilion for community events and much more.
On the commercial side, a new Starbucks and KFC recently opened in the Shoppes of Westlake, which should be fully built out in the coming months. Other retailers and restaurants to open include Taco Bell, Habit Burger, 3Natives, Heartland Dental, Verizon Wireless, Go Green Cleaners and Orangetheory Fitness. Publix, which opened a grocery store in Westlake a year ago, has started constructing a new retail center on adjacent land, phase two of its approved development plan. Construction will start soon on a new Tractor Supply Co. store, giving residents a new place to shop for home, garden and pet supplies.
“We are honored that Westlake continues to be recognized among the top 50 master-planned communities in the U.S.,” Minto Southeast Division President Steve Svopa said. “It reflects our commitment to quality, innovation and value, and our luxury lifestyle that is clearly resonating with buyers and residents.”
