Frequently Asked Questions
- Is Century Village West Palm Beach a 55+ community?
- Yes. Nearly every listing marks Century Village as age-restricted for residents 55 and older, and remarks describe it as a 55-and-over community. Each building's association approves buyers, so ask for the application and occupancy rules for the specific building early in the process.
- What have condos in Century Village West Palm Beach sold for recently?
- A total of 271 units closed between July 2025 and October 2026, at prices from $30,000 to $265,000. The median closing was $76,000, or about $108 a square foot. Two-bedroom units of 798 square feet recently closed from $107,000 to $149,500, and one-bedroom units mostly from $50,000 to $88,000.
- What are the condo fees in Century Village?
- Listings show monthly fees from $250 to $846, with a median of about $500. Fees vary by building because each building is its own association. Most listings say the fee covers grounds, common areas and cable, and many add insurance, security and trash. Ask for the specific building's budget, reserves and any special assessments.
- Is Century Village a gated community?
- Yes. Most listings mark Century Village as gated, and most describe a gate with a guard. Security is also among the items many listings say the monthly fee covers, along with grounds and common areas. Confirm the current guest and contractor procedures with the community's management.
- Can you rent out a condo in Century Village?
- It depends on the building. Of 451 recent listings, 81 say no leasing, 80 bar leasing until the second year of ownership and 72 say leasing is allowed. Rentals listed in the last year asked from $1,100 to $2,800 a month, with a median of about $1,450. Get the building's leasing rules in writing before you buy.
- Are pets allowed in Century Village?
- Mostly no. Pets are not allowed according to 350 of 451 recent listings, while 91 allow them, often with size or number limits. If you have a pet, narrow your search to buildings that allow them and get the policy in writing from that building's association before you sign a contract.
- Do Century Village buildings have elevators?
- Some do and many do not. A large share of buildings are two-story or three-story walk-ups, which is why listings for first-floor units often stress that there are no stairs. If stairs are a concern, ask about the specific building and floor before you tour.
- How long do Century Village condos take to sell?
- The median unit sold in 68 days over the last year, at about 93 percent of the asking price. Many current listings had been on the market for more than 300 days at the time of writing. Pricing at or below the most recent sale in the same building is what moves a unit here.
- How many homes are for sale in Century Village?
- There are 140 active listings for sale in Century Village right now, and these counts update from the MLS as homes come on the market and go under contract. The most expensive listing asks about 5 times the least expensive, so budgets vary widely within Century Village. Ask us to set up a search alert and you will see new Century Village listings the day they reach the market.
- What is the median home price in Century Village?
- The median list price in Century Village is $108,000, or roughly $145 per square foot. The median is the midpoint of what is currently listed, so about half of Century Village homes ask more and half ask less, within a broader range of $54,700 to $279,000. The median sits in the lower part of that range, so most Century Village 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 Century Village cover?
- Homes for sale in Century Village currently range from about $54,700 at the entry level to $279,000 at the top of the market. That spread reflects unit size, floor, and finish level across the condos and townhomes here, with the median list price around $108,000. That is a wide spread, so Century Village genuinely holds homes at very different budgets rather than one price point. Tell us your budget and must-haves and we will send the Century Village listings that actually fit.
- How long do homes take to sell in Century Village?
- Homes in Century Village are averaging 118 days on market, measured from the day a listing goes live to the day it goes under contract. That is a measured pace, which usually leaves buyers room to negotiate and makes pricing at the outset matter more for sellers. Days on market in Century Village 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 Century Village a 55+ community?
- Yes. Century Village is an age-restricted, 55-and-over active adult community, which generally means at least one resident per home must be 55 or older and the community is built around an active adult lifestyle. These communities usually pair lower-maintenance homes with amenities such as a clubhouse, pool, fitness center, and a full social calendar. Rules on age, occupancy, leasing, and pets are set by the HOA and vary, so confirm the current governing documents for Century Village before you write an offer.
- Is Century Village a gated community?
- Yes. Century Village is a gated community with controlled access at the entrance.
- Are there lakefront homes in Century Village?
- Yes. Many Century Village 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 Century Village
Century Village, West Palm Beach, FL, is a 55+ community in Palm Beach County with 140 homes for sale right now. Century Village is a gated, 55-and-over condominium community in West Palm Beach and one of the best-known active-adult addresses in Palm Beach County. Built between 1969 and 1983, it offers low-rise condominiums at entry-level prices, with active listings generally ranging from around $50,000 to the high $300,000s and a median near $120,000. The age-restricted community is known for its clubhouse, pools, and an extensive calendar of clubs, classes, and entertainment. Maintenance fees cover exterior care and most amenities, which keeps the overall cost of ownership low. Residents are close to downtown West Palm Beach, Palm Beach International Airport, and the beaches of the Palm Beaches.
Century Village in West Palm Beach is a large, gated, age-restricted condominium community in the 33417 zip code, made up of dozens of separate condo associations. Each building group carries an English place name, such as Andover, Berkshire, Bedford, Camden, Canterbury, Chatham, Coventry, Dover, Kingswood, Norwich, Oxford, Sheffield and Wellington, followed by a letter for the building. Units in the current listings were built between 1969 and 1983 and are small, mostly one-bedroom and two-bedroom plans of roughly 530 to 840 square feet. Listings consistently describe a 55-and-over community with a staffed gate and a large clubhouse. For many buyers it is the lowest-cost way to own in a full-service adult community in Palm Beach County.
If you own here and are thinking about selling, the last year gives you plenty to price against. A total of 271 units closed between July 2025 and October 2026, at prices from $30,000 to $265,000. The median closing was $76,000, and the median price per square foot was about $108. The median sale came in at 92.7 percent of the asking price, and the median unit took 68 days to sell. Recent sales show the range by plan. Two-bedroom units of 798 square feet on Chatham and Sheffield closed from $107,000 to $149,500, and one-bedroom units closed mostly between $50,000 and $88,000. The top sale was a two-bedroom, two-bath unit of 874 square feet in Somerset at $265,000.
Pricing a unit in Century Village is mostly about three things: the building, the floor and the updates. Buildings differ in their fees, their reserves, their leasing rules and whether they have their own pool or an elevator, and buyers pay more where those are favorable. First-floor units sell to buyers who want no stairs, and several listings lead with that. Updated kitchens and baths, new air conditioning, newer windows and accordion shutters lift a unit to the top of its range. A lake view helps too. Price against recent sales in your own building group first, then the nearest similar building, rather than against the community as a whole.
Competition is heavy, and that is the most important fact for a seller. At the time of writing 146 units were for sale, at asking prices from $52,000 to $279,000 with a median of $105,000, and 32 were under contract. Compare that $105,000 median asking price with the $76,000 median closing and the gap is plain. Many listings have been for sale a long time. Several Sheffield, Bedford, Canterbury and Coventry units had been on the market for more than 300 days, and one Berkshire unit for 519 days. In a market like this, the units that sell are priced at or just under the latest closing in the same building, and shown clean and vacant.
For buyers, the housing is consistent in age and simple in layout. Units in current listings have one or two bedrooms and one to one and a half baths, and many one-bedroom plans have a half bath for guests. Buildings are concrete block, most of them two to four stories, and many are walk-ups, which is why first-floor and elevator units are in demand. Screened balconies or lanais are common, and many face a lake or canal. Parking is usually an assigned space by the building rather than a garage. Ask each building about its roof age; one listing notes a roof replaced in 2022, and roof and insurance costs fall on the association.
Nearly every listing reports a monthly fee, from $250 to $846, with a median of about $500. Most listings say the fee covers grounds, common areas and cable, and many add building insurance, security and trash. Fewer include pest control, the roof or reserves, and only a small share include water or sewer. Because every building is its own association, ask for the specific building's budget, reserve study and any special assessments. Two units of the same size can carry very different monthly costs. Of 451 listings, 397 require association approval of the buyer and 129 bar corporate buyers, so plan on an application before closing.
Leasing and pets are the rules buyers most often get wrong. Of the 451 listings, 81 say no leasing at all, 80 bar leasing until the second year of ownership and 80 note other rental restrictions, while 72 say leasing is allowed. One listing describes a special rental license that only a limited number of units carry. The 57 rentals of the last year asked from $1,100 to $2,800 a month, with a median of about $1,450. Pets are not allowed according to 350 listings, while 91 allow them, often with size or number limits. Get both rules for the specific building in writing.
Listings show Grassy Waters Elementary, Bear Lakes Middle and Palm Beach Lakes High for the West Palm Beach buildings, which matters mainly for resale since this is an adult community. Confirm with the School District of Palm Beach County. If you are comparing Century Village with other 55-and-over communities, the trade is clear. Units are small and date from 1969 to 1983, but asking prices start near $52,000, and the amenity package is large. Buyers who want an active social life, transportation and a low entry price tend to find it a good fit.
A few checks make a purchase here go smoothly. First, confirm the building and its association. Each building group has its own name and letter, and the rules and fees follow the building, so make sure every document you review matches the unit's building. Second, ask each building for the age of its roof and its insurance renewal history, since those costs pass through to owners. Third, look at the unit's own systems. Recent listings call out new air conditioners, newer water heaters and replaced windows, and those items are worth more in an older building than any finish. Finally, start the building's application early, because approval is required on most sales.

Market & Value
Century Village market and home values
The Century Village real estate market reads best through the community's own recent activity, not a county-wide average. The median list price in Century Village is around $108,000, or roughly $145 per square foot. That sits about 78% below the Palm Beach County median, which shows where Century Village lands in the local market. Recent asking prices have run from $54,700 to $279,000, so the home you choose within Century Village matters as much as the community average. Homes here have recently taken about 118 days to go under contract, a useful gauge of how quickly the Century Village market is moving. For pricing an offer or a listing, comparable sales within Century Village 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 Century Village so you work from real numbers, not an estimate.
How It Compares
Century Village compared to nearby West Palm Beach communities
Century Village carries the lowest median of the 7 West Palm Beach communities compared here. 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.
| Community | Homes | Median | $/Sq Ft | Days |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Northwood | 34 | $875,000 | $510 | 142 |
| Ibis Golf And Country Club | 37 | $790,000 | $295 | 201 |
| Lands Of The President | 28 | $247,500 | $217 | 85 |
| Golden Lakes Village | 27 | $155,000 | $175 | 130 |

| Century Village this page | 140 | $108,000 | $145 | 118 |
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 Century Village right for you?
It helps to know who Century Village tends to suit before you tour. As an age-restricted community, Century Village fits active adults, downsizers, and seasonal residents who want a lock-and-leave home and a full social calendar. At least one resident usually needs to meet the age requirement, so confirm the specific age rule and any younger-spouse provision before you buy. A lake view is a common ask here, since many Century Village lots back onto water without the flood exposure of a coastal address. On price, Century Village sits toward the more attainable end of the market, which draws first-time buyers, downsizers, and investors. Whether Century Village 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 Century Village
Life in Century Village is built around the clubhouse and its calendar. Listings describe a theater that hosts shows and movies, indoor and outdoor pools, a fitness center, tennis and pickleball, bocce, shuffleboard, billiards, card rooms, a library and organized trips, plus a transportation service for residents. One listing mentions a grocery store on site, and another points to the Hastings fitness center. Some buildings also have their own small pool and patio for residents. Many units look over a lake or canal from a screened balcony. Clubs, shows and trips fill the calendar for those who want them.
Location
Century Village location
Century Village has a West Palm Beach address and the 33417 zip code in Palm Beach County. Units are addressed by building name and letter, such as Andover, Berkshire, Bedford, Camden, Canterbury, Chatham, Coventry, Dover, Kingswood, Norwich, Oxford, Sheffield and Wellington. Listings describe the community as centrally located in Palm Beach County, close to shopping, dining and entertainment. Current MLS listings for the West Palm Beach buildings show Grassy Waters Elementary, Bear Lakes Middle and Palm Beach Lakes High, which matters mainly for resale since this is an adult community. Confirm the attendance zone with the School District of Palm Beach County.
Buying in Century Village
Buying a home in Century Village
The buying process in Century Village is the one used across 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 West Palm Beach means you see new listings in Century Village the day they reach the market.
Selling in Century Village
Selling a home in Century Village
Selling a home in Century Village starts with pricing it correctly for current conditions. List prices in Century Village currently center around $108,000, 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 Century Village owners in West Palm Beach, so you can see what your property could sell for before you commit to listing.

Listing agents and seller representation in Century Village
Thinking about selling in Century Village? 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.
Buyers currently hold leverage in Century Village, so pricing and presentation carry more weight than they would in a hot market. Homes that are prepared properly and priced against real closed sales still sell; the ones testing an optimistic number are the ones that sit. Homes here are averaging about 118 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 Century Village. 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 Century Village
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 Century Village 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 Century Village
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 Century Village, 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 Century Village?
Ask any listing agent you interview two questions. Which homes have they closed near Century Village, 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 $108,000 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 Century Village?
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 Century Village, 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 Century Village?
You are not legally required to use one, but most buyers in Century Village 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.
