New Home Communities – The Future of Real Estate in Palm Beach County

With a current population of almost 1.5 million and still plenty of land left for development, what will Palm Beach County look like in 5 to 10 years?

According to a study by the University of Florida Bureau of Economics and Business Research that was conducted in April 2019, the population in 2035 for Palm Beach County is projected to be as follows:

• Low Estimate:  1,507,200
• Medium Estimate:  1,707,500
• High Estimate:  1,908,900

With the potential for as many as 400,000 new people living in the County within the next 15 years, there are many concerns including infrastructure (roads, police/fire, schools, etc) as well as housing.

Housing has becoming an important aspect of living in Palm Beach County and there are a number of new home communities underway at this time which will help alleviate the lack of supply as well as provide unique living options to the marketplace.
