Frequently Asked Questions
- Is The Fields in Lake Worth a gated community?
- Yes. Seventy-two of the 78 listings in our recent data show a gated community, and some note phone entry or key card access. A few listings also mention security staff. Ask the association how guest access and deliveries are handled, since gate practices can change over time.
- What are the HOA fees in The Fields?
- Fees in our data run from $105 to $415 a month, with a median of $315. Most listings show grounds maintenance and common areas included, and many also include recreation facilities and security. Ask for the current budget and confirm what your specific home's fee covers, since townhouse and single-family fees can differ.
- What have homes in The Fields sold for?
- Fifty-seven homes closed between July 2025 and September 2026, from $455,000 to $940,000. The median was $615,000, or about $280 a square foot. Recent townhouse sales were mostly $480,000 to $553,000, and single-family homes ranged from $625,000 to $925,000 depending on size and lot.
- Should I buy a townhouse or a house in The Fields?
- Townhouses here are mostly three bedrooms of about 1,826 to 1,943 square feet and cost less. Houses run from three to five bedrooms and up to 3,703 square feet, with somewhat larger lots. Many single-family homes also back to one of the lakes. Both share the same clubhouses, gate and schools. The right choice depends on the space you need and your budget.
- Can you rent out a home in The Fields?
- Often, yes. Thirty listings say leasing is allowed, though 29 note rental restrictions and 21 require association approval. Four rentals in our data asked $3,400 to $4,700 a month, with a median of $3,750. Read the association documents for the specific home before buying with rental income in mind.
- Are pets allowed in The Fields?
- Pets are allowed on almost every listing in our data. Forty listings note breed restrictions and 19 limit the number of pets, and a few mention a pet fee. If you have a large dog or several pets, ask the association for the current pet rules before you make an offer.
- What schools serve The Fields?
- Every current MLS listing that names schools shows Discovery Key Elementary, Woodlands Middle and Dr. Joaquin Garcia High. That consistency is useful for families, but zones can change, so confirm the assignment for a specific address with the School District of Palm Beach County.
- What is for sale in The Fields right now?
- At the time of writing there were 19 homes for sale and two under contract. Asking prices ran from $430,000 for a townhouse to $1,150,000 for a large single-family home, with a median of $550,000. Townhouses made up the lower end of that range, from $430,000 to $550,000. Several had been listed for well over a year, so there is room to negotiate on some of them.
- How many homes are for sale in The Fields?
- There are 18 active listings for sale in The Fields right now, and these counts update from the MLS as homes come on the market and go under contract. Prices cluster fairly closely, with the top of the market about 2.7 times the entry level. Ask us to set up a search alert and you will see new The Fields listings the day they reach the market.
- What is the median home price in The Fields?
- The median list price in The Fields is $550,000, or roughly $290 per square foot. The median is the midpoint of what is currently listed, so about half of The Fields homes ask more and half ask less, within a broader range of $428,000 to $1,150,000. The median sits in the lower part of that range, so most The Fields homes are nearer the entry level and a few high-end listings pull the top up. We can pull recent comparable sales to price a specific home more precisely.
- What price range do homes in The Fields cover?
- Homes for sale in The Fields currently range from about $428,000 at the entry level to $1,150,000 at the top of the market. That spread reflects the local mix, from smaller condos and townhomes up to larger single-family and luxury homes, with the median list price around $550,000. The spread is moderate, so there is real choice here without the extremes some markets show. Tell us your budget and must-haves and we will send the The Fields listings that actually fit.
- How long do homes take to sell in The Fields?
- Homes in The Fields are averaging 125 days on market, measured from the day a listing goes live to the day it goes under contract. That is a slow pace, so sellers here should expect to price carefully and buyers often have time to compare before committing. Days on market in The Fields also shift with the season and with how a home is priced, so a sharply priced listing can still sell well ahead of the average.
- Is The Fields a gated community?
- Yes. The Fields is a gated community with controlled access at the entrance.
- Are there lakefront homes in The Fields?
- Yes. Many The Fields homes back onto community lakes, and lake-view lots are common in current listings. The water here is inland lake frontage rather than Intracoastal or ocean access, so do not expect navigable water or boat dockage.
About The Fields
The Fields, Lake Worth, FL, is a new construction community in Palm Beach County with 18 homes for sale right now. Fields At Gulfstream Polo is a gated community in Lake Worth, Palm Beach County, Florida. Active listings are priced from $525,000 to $1,300,000. Homes were built between 2018 and 2023. Pure Equity lists homes in The Fields and represents buyers. Commission is negotiable, and what we are paid is agreed with you in writing before you commit to anything.
The Fields is a gated community of townhomes and single-family houses in west Lake Worth, built between 2018 and 2023. The plats carry the name Fields at Gulfstream Polo, and the streets follow an equestrian theme, with names like Hanoverian Drive, Vaulting Drive, Pedigree Circle and Eventing Street. It is large and active. Our MLS data for the last year covers 78 sales and current listings, split between 42 townhouses and 36 single-family homes, and most homes are two stories. Buyers come for newer construction, an HOA fee in the low hundreds, and a resale market deep enough that prices can be set from close comparables.
If you own here and are thinking about selling, the numbers are unusually clear. Fifty-seven homes closed between July 2025 and September 2026, at prices from $455,000 to $940,000. The median closing was $615,000, at about $280 a square foot. The two product types sort cleanly. Recent townhouse sales of about 1,826 to 1,943 square feet closed between $480,000 and $553,000. Single-family homes closed from $625,000 for a four-bedroom of about 1,900 square feet to $925,000 for a 2,475 square foot home on a 0.21 acre lot on Pedigree Circle. Five-bedroom homes of 2,585 to 2,776 square feet closed between $725,000 and $790,000.
The market here has been efficient. The median home sold at 98 percent of its list price after 48 days. Price per square foot ran from about $249 to $380, a narrow range for a community with two housing types, and that tells a seller how buyers behave here. They compare plan to plan, often down to the model name. Lakefront lots, a pool, a ground-floor bedroom and upgrades such as solar or impact glass are what move a home toward the top of its plan's range. A seller who prices inside the range for the plan usually sells within a couple of months. A seller who prices above it waits.
That waiting shows up in the current inventory. At the time of writing there were 19 homes for sale and two under contract, with asking prices from $430,000 to $1,150,000 and a median of $550,000. Several had been on the market a long time. A four-bedroom on Chantilly Road at $670,000 had been listed 433 days, and a three-bedroom on Hanoverian Drive at $725,000 had been listed 519 days. The highest ask, $1,150,000 for a 3,703 square foot home on Vaulting Drive, sits well above the $940,000 top closing of the past year. A seller here faces real competition, often from a neighbor with the same floor plan.
The housing stock is new and consistent in quality. Homes are concrete block with stucco, under concrete or barrel tile roofs. Townhouses are mostly three bedrooms and two and a half baths at about 1,826 to 1,943 square feet. Single-family homes run from three to five bedrooms and from about 1,874 to 3,703 square feet. Most homes of both types have a two-car garage, and a few larger houses have three. Lots are small, from 0.05 acres for a townhouse to about 0.23 acres, with a median near 0.11. Seven of the 78 listings show a private pool, and 21 are on the water, mostly lakefront.
The HOA fee is modest for what the community offers. Fees in our data run from $105 to $415 a month, with a median of $315. Most listings show grounds maintenance and common areas included, and many also show recreation facilities and security. A few also include trash collection or pest control. Listings describe two clubhouses with pools and fitness centers, plus basketball, tennis and pickleball courts, playgrounds, picnic areas, a spa, cabanas and walking trails. The community is gated on 72 of 78 listings, with phone or key card entry noted on some. Water and sewer are public. One listing reports solar panels, so ask about any lease or loan on a system before buying a home that has one.
Leasing is allowed on many homes, but with conditions. Thirty listings say it is OK to lease, 29 note a rental restriction, and 21 say the association must approve buyers or tenants. Four rentals in our data asked $3,400 to $4,700 a month, with a median of $3,750. Pets are allowed on almost every listing, though 40 note breed restrictions and 19 a limit on the number of pets. For families, every listing that states schools shows Discovery Key Elementary, Woodlands Middle and Dr. Joaquin Garcia High, which makes the zoning unusually consistent for a community of this size.
Buyers choosing between a townhouse and a house in The Fields are really choosing between two price bands that share the same clubhouses, gate and schools. Townhouses are the entry point and the more common choice for investors. Single-family homes, especially the lakefront ones, are where move-up buyers land. Either way, you trade lot size for newer construction, impact windows and a full amenity package. For sellers, the size of the community cuts both ways. The comparables are clear, which makes pricing easier. So is the competition, which makes overpricing expensive in days on market.

Market & Value
The Fields market and home values
Values in The Fields track the community's own sales more closely than any broad regional number. The median list price in The Fields is around $550,000, or roughly $290 per square foot. That sits about 15% above the Palm Beach County median, which shows where The Fields lands in the local market. Recent asking prices have run from $428,000 to $1,150,000, so the home you choose within The Fields matters as much as the community average. Homes here have recently taken about 125 days to go under contract, a useful gauge of how quickly the The Fields market is moving. For pricing an offer or a listing, comparable sales within The Fields carry more weight than any headline number, since homes of the same type and size set the real range. Pure Equity can pull the active and recently sold homes in The Fields so you work from real numbers, not an estimate.
How It Compares
The Fields compared to nearby Lake Worth communities
The Fields sits 2 of 7 on median price among these Lake Worth communities. Price per square foot is the fairer comparison between communities, because it adjusts for the fact that one neighborhood builds bigger homes than another. Days on market shows how quickly each one is actually selling.

|---|---|---|---|---|

Medians come from active listings in each community and move as inventory turns over. They describe the homes currently for sale, not what any one home is worth.
Who It Suits
Is The Fields right for you?
A quick read on who fits The Fields saves time before you visit. The Fields works well for families and professionals who want the security and quieter streets of a gated community, often near the schools, shopping, and commuting routes of Lake Worth. A lake view is a common ask here, since many The Fields lots back onto water without the flood exposure of a coastal address. On price, The Fields lands in the middle of the market, a common fit for move-up buyers and full-time residents. Whether The Fields is right for you depends on how you plan to use the home, full time or seasonally, and Pure Equity can walk you through the tradeoffs before you commit.
Amenities & Lifestyle
Living in The Fields
Daily life in The Fields centers on the two clubhouses. Residents use the pools and fitness centers, the basketball, tennis and pickleball courts, the playgrounds and picnic areas, and the walking trails, and some listings also mention fire pits. Many listings note sidewalks and street lights, and 20 note a property manager on site. Listings often describe the community as family-friendly, and the playgrounds and the steady demand for four- and five-bedroom homes back that up. Back yards are small, so many owners screen in a lanai or add pavers and privacy fencing rather than a full pool. Homes on the lakes get the most open views.
Location
The Fields location
The Fields has a Lake Worth mailing address and the 33467 zip code. Homes in our data are on streets including San Fratello Circle, Chantilly Road, Blistering Way, Pedigree Circle, Catria Lane, Hanoverian Drive, Vaulting Drive and Eventing Street. One listing describes Florida's Turnpike as about five minutes away. Water and sewer are public. Several listings describe homes on quiet, low-traffic streets or at the back of the community, so ask where a home sits relative to the entrance and the clubhouses. According to current MLS listings, homes here are zoned for Discovery Key Elementary, Woodlands Middle and Dr. Joaquin Garcia High. Attendance zones can change, so confirm the assignment for a specific address with the School District of Palm Beach County before you buy.
Buying in The Fields
Buying a home in The Fields
Buying in The Fields follows the same path as the rest of Palm Beach County. Getting a mortgage pre-approval first tells you your real budget and lets you move quickly when the right home comes up. Ask for the association's governing documents, budget, and reserve study before you write an offer. Association fees, any club or membership costs, and rules on rentals, pets, and leasing vary by community and materially affect the true cost of ownership. Property taxes factor into the monthly payment: the median annual property tax in Palm Beach County is about $3,600. Florida's homestead exemption lowers the taxable value of a primary residence, and the Save Our Homes cap limits how fast that assessed value can rise from year to year. Budget for homeowners insurance as well. Rates in Florida reflect wind and flood exposure, so gather quotes early and check whether a specific address sits in a FEMA flood zone. Once you are under contract, plan for a home inspection and, if you are financing, a lender appraisal, both of which fall inside the inspection period. Working with an agent who knows Lake Worth means you see new listings in The Fields the day they reach the market.
Selling in The Fields
Selling a home in The Fields
A successful sale in The Fields comes down to pricing, presentation, and marketing. List prices in The Fields currently center around $550,000, which is a starting reference for where a comparable home might be positioned. Homes that are decluttered, professionally photographed, and priced to recent comparable sales tend to draw the most interest in the first two weeks, when a listing is newest and gets the most views. Buyers in an association community also want to see the HOA or condo docs, the reserve study, and any pending or special assessments up front, so having those ready before you list avoids delays once you are under contract. Florida sellers usually pay the documentary stamp tax on the deed, currently $0.70 per $100 of the sale price in most counties, along with prorated property taxes and, by local custom in many areas, the owner's title insurance policy. We provide a no-obligation home valuation for The Fields owners in Lake Worth, so you can see what your property could sell for before you commit to listing.
Thinking of Selling?
What is your The Fields home worth?
Online estimates miss what makes a home different. Tell us about yours and a licensed listing agent will send you a pricing opinion based on what has actually closed near you in The Fields.
Listing agents and seller representation in The Fields
Thinking about selling in The Fields? The agent you pick shapes two numbers: what your home closes for, and how long it takes. A listing agent, also called a seller's agent, prices the property against what has actually closed nearby. They also prepare and market it, screen the offers that arrive, and negotiate the terms rather than just the price.
Conditions in The Fields sit close to balanced, which rewards sellers who price against real closed sales instead of neighboring asking prices. Homes here are averaging about 125 days from listing to accepted offer, so build that into your moving timeline.
Community-level detail matters most here. Association rules, what the fees cover, and which buildings sell fastest all affect your outcome. So does whether a buyer needs board approval before closing. None of it appears in a listing description. All of it decides whether a sale closes on time.
Pure Equity is a licensed Florida brokerage serving The Fields. Onias Derilus is the broker of record, Florida Real Estate Broker license BK3276618. A broker holds a higher license than an agent working under one. In practice that means the person advising you on price is also the one legally responsible for the file. That matters most when a deal gets complicated.

Realtors and real estate agents serving The Fields
People search for realtors, real estate agents, and real estate brokers more or less interchangeably. For most purposes the job title matters less than licensing and representation. Every licensed agent in Florida works under a broker. That broker carries final responsibility for the transaction.
What separates real estate professionals in The Fields is specificity. Can they answer questions about your street, not just your city? Ask what they have closed nearby and how they arrived at a price. A grounded answer cites particular recent sales. It also explains why those homes compare to yours. Vague reassurance is the warning sign.

Buyer's agents in The Fields
A buyer's agent represents the purchaser rather than the owner. They identify properties that actually fit and research what comparable homes sold for, not what they asked. They also advise on offer strategy. Finally, they manage inspection and financing deadlines through to closing.
Where buyers have room to negotiate, as they do in The Fields, the leverage is only worth something if you know where it exists and what to ask for. If you are buying and selling at the same time, which is common for people moving within Palm Beach County, sequencing the two is its own skill: contingencies, timing, and what happens if one closing slips all need planning before either home goes on the market.
What representation costs
Real estate commissions are negotiable. No law, multiple listing service, or association sets them. If an agent tells you there is a standard rate, they are misinforming you. What you pay is agreed between you and the brokerage you hire. Get it in writing before the work begins.
Industry rules changed in 2024. Now a buyer and their agent must put compensation in a written buyer agreement before touring homes together. Sellers may still offer to contribute toward the buyer's side. However, that is negotiated rather than assumed. It is worth thinking through with your listing agent before you go live.

Frequently asked questions
How do I find a listing agent in The Fields?
Ask any listing agent you interview two questions. Which homes have they closed near The Fields, and how did they arrive at their suggested price? A grounded answer names recent closed sales. It also explains why those homes compare to yours. With a median around $550,000 here, the gap between realistic pricing guidance and optimistic guidance is real money. Verify the license too. Florida licenses are public and searchable through the state's DBPR portal. Pure Equity is a licensed brokerage serving Palm Beach County. You can reach the broker directly at (561) 835-5400.
What does a seller's agent actually do?
A seller's agent prices the home against comparable closed sales. Before it goes live, they advise on repairs and presentation. Then they handle photography and marketing, and put the home in front of buyers and other agents. When offers arrive, they screen them and negotiate both price and terms. Terms matter as much as the number, because inspection windows, financing contingencies, and closing dates all affect whether an offer reaches the closing table.
How much does a real estate agent cost in The Fields?
Commissions are fully negotiable. No law or real estate board sets them. What you pay is whatever you and your brokerage agree to in writing before work begins. Since the 2024 rule changes, buyers and their agents must agree compensation in a written buyer agreement before touring homes. Any seller contribution toward the buyer's side is negotiated rather than automatic. Ask any agent you interview to put their fee in writing.
What is the difference between a realtor, a real estate agent, and a broker?
A real estate agent holds a state license to represent buyers and sellers. A broker holds a higher-level license and can operate a brokerage. That broker also carries final legal responsibility for the office's transactions. Realtor is a membership term for agents belonging to the National Association of Realtors. For someone buying or selling in The Fields, three practical questions matter. Is the person licensed, who do they represent in your transaction, and what can they actually tell you about your local market?
Do I need an agent to buy a home in The Fields?
You are not legally required to use one, but most buyers in The Fields do. A buyer's agent handles the parts that are easy to get wrong. That means identifying what comparable homes actually closed for, spotting condition or association issues early, and managing inspection and financing deadlines. Even in a slower market, negotiating room is only useful if you know where it exists.
Can one agent help me sell my current home and buy the next one?
Yes. For people moving within Palm Beach County it is often the more practical route, because one person coordinates both timelines. Sequencing is the hard part. Should your purchase be contingent on your sale? How would you cover a gap if the closings do not line up? What happens if one side is delayed? Plan all of that before either home is listed, rather than after an offer arrives.
