Buena Vida Wellington
Active adult developments were all the rage on the cusp of and shortly after 2000. They came on strong in Boca Raton, Delray Beach, Boynton Beach, and Lake Worth, creating distinctive pricing tiers in competition with Homes For sale in Buena Vida Wellington (see more on this below). The latter, west of Florida's Turnpike in central Wellington, is nonetheless a premier 55+ residential community constructed by reputable Minto Homes with other top-class builders, started in 2003 and completed in 2007. It comprises 449 single-family homes with coastal Mediterranean architecture and a European feel - ranging from two to five bedrooms - 1800 to 3,328 square feet under air (UA). Great walls and an impressive entrance guarded 24/7 protect residents who enjoy an authentic nature connection delivered by flowing tropical plants, trees, lakes, and other waterways. Sunsets from terraces, rooms, backyards, and trails in the neighborhood are mind-boggling, as are the permanent aqua-centric and garden outlooks. The setting of homes lining the banks and preserves exudes a typical Palm Beach luxurious laidback lifestyle.
Of course, a 55+ community without full house amenities (FHA) and activity stimulation is like a balloon without air. So, indeed, FHA drives the spirit of Buena Vida in Wellington. The following demonstrates that the developers, for monthly HOA fees of $565, covered the FHA concept from corner to corner by providing:
- An elaborate aquatic center with:
- A heated free-flow swimming pool.
- A separate lap pool.
- An outdoor cafe.
- An expansive sundeck with loungers, cabanas, and a shade pavilion.
- A fully-equipped fitness facility with:
- An aerobics studio.
- A steam room.
- Saunas.
- Gender-separate locker rooms.
- A freshwater lake stocked with fish.
- A grand ballroom in a clubhouse also providing:
- A library.
- Arts and crafts studio.
- Card rooms.
- A billiards room.
- A multi-network of rooms for socializing.
- Sports lounge.
- A screened and covered patio with stunning views.
- Seven Har-Tru tennis courts.
- Full-time site and activity directors to ensure the harmonious running of community requirements, from home repairs to garden maintenance and a variety of activities and events.
As far as residences go, Minto provided collections as follows:
The Renaissance Collection - Delivered four floor plans starting at 1,886 square feet (UA), stretching to 2374 square feet on a minimum lot size of 50'x110' - all one story.

As far as interior and exterior packages went, the project was ahead of its time, encompassing:
- Hurricane-rated impact windows and doors (rare in the early 2000s).
- Luxury finishes that haven't dated many years later, such as:
- Designer kitchens.
- Sleek quartz countertops.
- Spacious butler's pantries.
- Stainless steel top-brand appliances, including double ovens.
- Elaborate crown molding.
- Arched doorway.
- Vaulted ceilings
- Oversized master suites that add to the overall elegance.
So, in 2022 we did a pricing evaluation of Buena Vida homes for sale, concluding that realized prices were in a tight range between $245 and $280 per square foot (UA) - a complement to Minto and its consortium. The slight difference of $35 on a 2,500-square-foot unit in absolute dollar terms signifies a range from $612,000 to $700,000. Still, $88,000 requires attention, and there's no better than our team giving things the once, twice, and three times over to ensure you don't overpay. As a result, we routinely save our clients thousands of dollars for a zero fee. How come? Because sellers pay 100% of the agent's fees if or when you buy.
Although Buena Vida homeowners have everything at their fingertips in-community, getting to the beach takes approximately half an hour, and less time to either of two international airports (via Florida’s Turnpike), the Intracoastal, clinics, bank branches, umpteen golf courses, parks, and nature preserves. Moreover, just around the corner, residents can jog, bike ride, or drive to numerous shopping centers, scores of restaurants, and every metropolitan convenience under the Florida sun, from supermarkets to excellent schools (see below), gas stations, beauty salons, delis, coffee shops, and more.
As intimated above, there's intense competition in the 55+ category. Consider the following:
- Boca Raton - Sabal Point and Sabal Ridge (a pair of sea-front towers with private beach clubs).
- Delray Beach - Palm Greens, Lexington Club, Emerald Pointe, Tropic Harbor, Valencia Palms, Valencia Falls, and many others.
- Boynton Beach - The Cascade brand (i.e., Cascades and Cascade Lakes), Palm Isles, Ponte Vecchio, and Indian Spring (a CC lifestyle 55+ lifestyle)
- Lake Worth - Bellaggio and Villaggio - Ansca Homes' developments. Also, Valencia Shores.
