What’s It Like Living in Fountains  ?

The Fountains in Lake Worth is where South Florida elegance meets everyday comfort. This gated golf community spreads across 865 acres of beautifully manicured landscapes, shimmering lakes, and scenic fairways. Whether you're a retiree, young family, or seasonal resident, The Fountains offers a well-rounded lifestyle in a safe, secure setting.

The homes are as diverse as the people who live here — condos, townhomes, golf villas, and single-family homes, many with split-bedroom layouts, walk-in closets, and lake or golf course views. Residents also enjoy access to three championship golf courses, 12 Har-Tru tennis courts, a state-of-the-art fitness center, spa, and social lounges. It's a lifestyle, not just a place to live.

Real Estate Market Trends

Over the last six months, The Fountains has seen a cooling in prices, with the median sold price at $390,000 — down 17.9% year-over-year. However, homes are moving faster, with days-on-market dropping to 82 from 118. This signals a renewed urgency for well-priced listings, especially those with views or modern upgrades.

Inventory has decreased, with only four sales recorded in May 2025 compared to nine the previous year. Meanwhile, Lake Worth overall is trending upward, with the city median home price at $465,000, showing a modest 1.9% year-over-year increase. It’s becoming a balanced market, where pricing right from the start is key.

Simon’s take: Listings in The Fountains are moving faster than expected—even with fewer transactions, well-priced homes and golf/lake views still attract solid buyer interest.
