Why Baywinds Over Century Village

The comparison is inevitable for WPB buyers. Century Village offers the lowest purchase price in the city. Baywinds offers 2000s construction with modern hurricane codes, no SB 4-D exposure on multi-story legacy buildings, a simpler HOA structure (not all-inclusive), and homes designed with contemporary open-concept layouts, impact windows, and two-car garages.

The HOA at Baywinds runs approximately $200–$350/month covering gated entry, common area maintenance, pool and clubhouse access, and landscaping of common areas. You carry your own homeowners insurance and pay your own utilities. This is a standard HOA, not an all-inclusive model — your monthly costs are more predictable because they are not bundled.

Amenities

The Baywinds clubhouse includes a resort-style pool, fitness center, tennis courts, card and game rooms, and a social activities program. The community is gated with 24-hour security. Walking trails and green spaces wind through the 1,082-home community. The amenity package is comparable to a GL Homes Valencia but in a West Palm Beach location.
