$4,500/year

Imagine ending your day on a covered patio overlooking the lake while the sun settles across the water. Weekends start with a golf cart ride to Starbucks for coffee, an afternoon at the resort-style pool, pickleball with friends, or watching the kids disappear into one of Palm Beach County's best community parks. This nearly 4,000-square-foot waterfront home in The Orchards of Westlake offers 6 bedrooms, 4.5 baths, a first-floor guest suite, gas cooking, quartz countertops and open living spaces designed for the way families actually live. Lawn care included. Gated community. Annual lease with HOA approval and minimum 675 credit score required. Let me tell you about Westlake, because most people who haven't been here yet picture it wrong. They hear "western Palm Beach County" and imagine they're trading convenience for space. Maybe a bigger home, but a longer drive and fewer things to do. Five years ago, there was some truth to that. Today, it's simply outdated information. Westlake is Palm Beach County's newest city. Not another subdivision built around a clubhouse—a real city with its own parks, schools, commercial district and a long-term vision that's still unfolding. Every year another piece comes online. New restaurants. New shopping. New services. The community isn't standing still; it's growing around the families who already call it home. And that's what makes living here different. Kids ride bikes to their friends' houses. Golf carts have become part of everyday life. A quick trip to Publix, Starbucks, Planet Fitness or dinner often doesn't involve starting your car. Weekends aren't about figuring out where to go—they're about deciding whether you're spending the afternoon at the Adventure Park, playing pickleball, relaxing by the resort-style pool, or simply enjoying the neighborhood. The Adventure Park has become the gathering place for the entire city. Resort-style pools, waterslides, splash pad, basketball courts, pickleball, BMX pump track, dog park, playgrounds and community events throughout the year create the kind of lifestyle that feels more like a resort than a neighborhood amenity. Within Westlake, The Orchards has developed a personality all its own. Many families searching Westlake eventually find themselves here because they simply need more room. The homes are among the largest Minto built, with spacious floor plans designed for growing families, multigenerational living and people who don't want to outgrow their home in a few years. The neighborhood is gated, the streets feel open, and many of the homes were positioned to capture long lake views instead of backing directly into another row of houses. It has a quieter, more established feel while still being just minutes from everything Westlake has to offer. This home is a perfect example. Nearly 4,000 square feet. Six true bedrooms. Four-and-a-half bathrooms. A floor plan that works as well for everyday life as it does for entertaining. The first-floor bedroom with its own full bath creates the perfect guest suite, home office or private space for extended family. Upstairs, the primary suite overlooks the lake, giving you peaceful water views to begin and end each day. The kitchen naturally becomes the center of the home with quartz countertops, gas cooking, abundant cabinetry and an oversized island where meals, homework and conversations all seem to happen together. Step outside and you'll immediately understand why waterfront homes are so desirable here. Approximately 100 feet of lake frontage creates an open view that changes throughout the day. Morning coffee on the covered patio. Evening sunsets reflecting across the water. It's the kind of backyard that quietly becomes your favorite room in the house. One of the best parts about leasing this home is experiencing everything Westlake has to offer without the commitment of ownership. You get the space, the lifestyle, the parks, the amenities and one of Palm Beach County's most family-oriented communities while someone else handles the long-term responsibilities of homeownership. You're only minutes from Publix, Aldi, Starbucks, restaurants, healthcare, highly rated schools and everyday conveniences, with additional shopping, dining and entertainment continuing to expand throughout the city. Some rentals simply give you a place to live. This one gives you a neighborhood to become part of. Annual lease. Lawn maintenance and HOA amenities included. HOA approval required. Minimum 675 credit score required by the association. Pets considered subject to owner and HOA approval.
