🏙️ Avenir at Palm Beach Gardens — Big Picture & What to Expect

What is Avenir?
Avenir is a master-planned community in Palm Beach Gardens covering ~4,700-5,000 acres. It mixes residential, natural preserves, retail, office space, parks, and community amenities.  

Neighborhoods & Builders:
There are several sub-communities (or neighborhoods) within Avenir, each with its own style, homebuilders, and targeted demographic.  Examples include:

  • APEX at Avenir: larger, more upscale homes, resort-style amenities, for all ages.  

  • Regency at Avenir: 55+ active adult community with its own amenity center, designed for downsizing, low maintenance, resort-style living. 

  • Other neighborhoods by Toll Brothers, Kolter, K. Hovnanian, GL Homes, DiVosta, Panther National, Akel Homes, Kenco Communities. Each offers different floorplans, price points, lots sizes, and amenity packages.  

Retail, Amenities & Town Center:

  • Avenir will have a Town Center, approved for ~200,000 sq ft of retail and 1.8 million sq ft of office space. It will host Publix as a flagship grocery anchor, plus restaurants, shops, and entertainment.  

  • Another shopping / service plaza called Coconut Crossing is being developed near Avenir’s western edge. It will include an Aldi, Starbucks, gas station, and other shops.  

  • Planned amenities also include lakes & waterways, walking trails, green spaces, dog parks, a dedicated nature preserve across ~2,400+ acres, a working farm, and resort-style clubhouse offerings.  

The “Additional Community Tax” / Assessments:

  • Part of what you pay in Avenir, besides your HOA for your specific community, includes assessments and fees that support the bigger infrastructure: roads, shared amenity maintenance, landscaping of common areas, water management, etc. These are typically charged via a Community Development District (CDD) or master HOA / master amenity fees.

  • Since Avenir is large and still being built out, these shared fees go toward building and maintaining Town Center, community parks/trails, preserve, infrastructure. It’s not just for your neighborhood. Buyers should factor in these extra costs (plus HOAs) when comparing with other communities.
