Best Areas to Live in Weston
Weston's best-known communities reflect its Arvida-era master planning -- distinct gated enclaves at different price points and life stages, from ultra-high-end estates to a dedicated age-55+ community, rather than one uniform housing product.

Learn moreWeston Hills -- the priciest option in this batch, golf-anchored
Weston Hills is cited around a $1.3 million median in the base record -- the highest neighborhood-level figure in this South Florida batch -- consistent with its identity as one of Weston's premier gated, golf-course-anchored communities.
The Ridges -- a strong second tier, still well above the citywide median
The Ridges runs around $950,000 per the base record -- below Weston Hills but still well above Weston's own already-high $749,551 citywide median, and well above every other market in this batch.
The Palms at Weston -- Weston's dedicated age-55+ option
The Palms at Weston is a gated, age-55+ active-adult community of 382 units, developed by The Palace Group since 2008, offering resale-only condos and villas (1-bedroom units run around 868 square feet) priced roughly mid-$200Ks to low $400Ks, per sourcing gathered this session. Amenities include a pool, gym, business center, and library, plus an on-site Wellness Center with medical offices managed by Cleveland Clinic (see healthcare-safety) and a full calendar of social clubs -- a genuinely lower entry price point than Weston's family-oriented communities, aimed specifically at active-adult buyers.
Windmill Ranch Estates -- a known equestrian-zoned enclave, unconfirmed pricing
Windmill Ranch Estates is generally known regionally as one of Weston's most exclusive, equestrian-zoned enclaves, featuring large-lot estate homes with horse-property allowances. This characterization draws on general background knowledge rather than a source verified in this research pass -- confirm current details and pricing directly with a local agent before treating it as comparable to the sourced figures above.
