The Community
Frenchman’s Creek is a full-amenity gated community in Palm Beach Gardens that pairs championship golf with a private oceanfront beach club and deep-water Intracoastal access. It is one of the few communities in the county to combine golf, beach, and boating under a single equity membership.
Two things define the community. The first is the range of its amenities. Members move between two championship courses, a private beach club on the ocean, a marina with Intracoastal access, and a full slate of dining, tennis, and fitness. The second is its family and social culture, built around one of the most active club calendars in the area, which has long made it a year-round community rather than a seasonal one.

Frenchman’s Creek was built to offer more than golf, combining two championship courses with a private beach club and Intracoastal dockage. That combination of land, sea, and fairway under one membership is unusual, and it draws members who want a full-service club life rather than a single amenity. The community has cultivated an intensely social culture to match.
The reach of the amenity package is what shapes the membership. Few communities can offer a morning on the course, an afternoon at a private ocean beach, and a boat kept close to home, all under a single equity membership, and that breadth attracts people who want the whole of club life rather than one favorite pursuit. Because there is always something in season, whether golf, the water, tennis, or the dining and event calendar, the community stays busy through the year instead of thinning out when the weather cools. That constant activity is deliberate, and it has given Frenchman's Creek a reputation as one of the more socially engaged clubs in Palm Beach Gardens, a place where members know one another and the calendar is genuinely full.
The two championship courses anchor the golf, while the oceanfront beach club and the marina give members access to the water on both sides of the community. A large clubhouse supports extensive dining, tennis, fitness, and spa programs. The breadth and quality of the amenity package is central to the community’s identity and its value.
The private beach club is the amenity that most sets Frenchman's Creek apart, because oceanfront access is rare for a community whose homes sit inland along the golf and the Intracoastal. It gives members a stretch of Atlantic shoreline of their own, a place to spend the day away from public beaches, and it pairs naturally with the marina on the other side of the community for those who keep a boat. Two full-length courses mean golfers are never short of a game, and the clubhouse ties the whole program together with dining, tennis, fitness, and spa under one roof. Because the club owns and maintains all of it to a consistent standard, the amenities function as an integrated experience rather than a loose collection, and that integration is a large part of what a member is acquiring.
Housing runs from villas and courtyard homes to custom estates along the golf courses and water, which supports a broad membership. The community is fully gated and staffed, with a strong emphasis on service. Ongoing renovation keeps its housing stock current with buyer expectations.
The spread of homes across the community's acreage means a buyer can find a lower-maintenance villa for a lock-and-leave season or a large custom estate on a fairway or waterway without leaving the gate, which lets families move within the community as their needs change. Service is a defining feature, with staffing and security scaled to a full-service club, and daily life leans social and well-tended rather than quiet and self-contained. Because the community is fully built out, its streets carry mature landscaping and an established feel, while a steady cycle of renovation and rebuilding keeps the older homes current with what today's buyers expect. All of it sits in Palm Beach Gardens, close to the region's shopping, dining, medical care, beaches, and the interstate, which anchors the community within one of the county's most sought corridors.
Frenchman’s Creek is an active, amenity-driven market where the club experience is a major part of what buyers acquire. Value turns on product type and on golf or water exposure within the community. Understanding it means knowing how membership, amenities, and real estate combine to set value.

For current closed-sale counts, price range, average sale price and average price per square foot, see the market table above, which reads live from the MLS. Patio homes and smaller villas along Parc, Provence, and Le Havre sit at the entry end of the community. Renovated estates on golf and lake sites occupy the middle of the range. Deep water Intracoastal homesites are the most valuable product here and hold the community record. Active listings for new construction on the largest deep water parcels reach well above anything that has closed here to date.
Golf membership initiation is a substantial six-figure sum and has roughly doubled since 2020. The increase reflects the capital demands of the clubhouse replacement and rising demand for membership. Annual dues support both courses, the beach club, and all club amenities. Social and sports memberships are available at lower initiation and dues levels. Equity membership is mandatory for all property owners, so the initiation cost should be factored into total acquisition budget alongside the purchase price, renovation budget, and carrying costs.
Monthly HOA fees scale with the size of the home, from the smaller patio homes at the low end to the larger estates at the top, and are revised annually. The HOA covers common area maintenance, security, landscaping of community areas, and cable. HOA fees are separate from club membership dues and any special assessments. Total monthly carrying cost (HOA plus club dues plus insurance plus property taxes) is the number that matters, and it varies significantly by product type and homestead status.
Transaction volume has stabilized since 2023, well below the 2021 peak and above the rate-hike-driven trough that followed it. Active inventory is modest at any given time. Average days on market in the trailing twelve months: 75. That liquidity is a meaningful advantage over smaller communities where a single listing can sit for 200+ days without a comparable sale to anchor pricing.
Average closed price per square foot has roughly tripled since 2020. The trajectory was not a single spike: it moved sharply from 2020 to 2022, plateaued through 2023, then resumed climbing through 2024, 2025, and into 2026. Median sale price has followed a similar curve; the market table above carries the current figure, read live from the MLS. The full year-by-year breakdown is in the Real Estate section above.
Approximately 80% of homes were built between 1987 and 1991. Most buyers at interior price points are purchasing a home that will need updating. Full gut-renovations to current standards (impact windows, new roof, open floor plan, updated mechanicals) carry a significant per-square-foot cost depending on scope. On a home of that size it is a seven-figure project before landscaping and pool. The price-per-square-foot spread within any given price tier is wide, with the premium end reflecting full gut-renovations and the lower end reflecting original-condition homes where the buyer will invest further. The buy-and-renovate math versus purchasing a pre-renovated home is a conversation worth having with an advisor before bidding on either type.
Both communities sit in Palm Beach Gardens and offer two championship golf courses with mandatory equity membership. Frenchman’s Creek was established in 1985 and carries a more traditional architectural character, while Mirasol (established 2001) has newer construction throughout and a more contemporary feel. The distinguishing factors for Frenchman’s Creek are its private beach club, deep water Intracoastal access on select homesites, the no-tee-time golf policy, and the recently completed clubhouse. Mirasol offers neither beach nor water access. Frenchman’s Creek’s older housing stock means more renovation opportunities at lower entry points, while Mirasol’s newer homes generally require less immediate capital investment.
Admirals Cove in Jupiter is a larger community with more golf, a centralized deep-water marina, and a wider price range at both ends. For boaters, the key distinction is access model: Admirals Cove has a marina with assigned slips, while Frenchman’s Creek provides private docks on individual deep water homesites. Frenchman’s Creek adds a private beach club that Admirals Cove lacks. Both are equity clubs with mandatory membership. Admirals Cove sits in Jupiter, slightly farther from PBI airport but closer to Jupiter’s waterfront dining scene.
Select homesites along Le Bateau, Rhone, Marseilles, and Calais sit on deep water canals with navigable access to the Intracoastal Waterway and the Atlantic Ocean via the Jupiter Inlet. Private docks on these parcels accommodate vessels to 60+ feet. Loggerhead Marina, a public facility, sits directly across the Intracoastal from the community’s eastern boundary. Deep water homesites are the community’s most valuable, and active listings for new construction on the largest parcels sit well above recent closed sales. Buyers should verify dock permits, seawall condition, bridge clearances, and any vessel restrictions with the HOA before submitting an offer.
Homes built before 2002 predate the Florida Building Code’s post-Hurricane Andrew wind-load standards. Older roofs and non-impact windows increase wind and flood insurance premiums materially. Newer construction and recent full renovations with impact windows and current-code roofs carry significantly lower premiums. Buyers considering any pre-2002 home should obtain insurance quotes before submitting an offer, as annual premiums on older construction can be a five-figure carrying cost that shifts the total ownership equation. The community sits in Flood Zone X (minimal flood risk) on most interior parcels, with some Intracoastal-adjacent homesites in Zone AE.
No. Frenchman’s Creek prohibits leasing entirely. Homes cannot be rented under any circumstance, whether short-term or long-term. This restriction is enforced through both the HOA and the membership agreement. Virtually every MLS listing in the community carries a “No Lease” restriction. Buyers whose estate plans involve a trust holding period, a future rental income strategy, or any arrangement other than owner occupancy should factor this restriction into their decision before pursuing a property here.
The community draws a multigenerational membership. The new clubhouse includes a dedicated Kids Creek Club with children’s programming, and the beach club on Juno Beach is popular with families during school breaks. Resident children attend Eisenhower Elementary, Watkins Middle, and Dwyer High School in the Palm Beach County school system. The community also has a basketball court, dog park, and bike and jogging paths. That said, the demographic center of gravity skews toward empty-nesters and retirees, so families with young children will find fewer peers than they would at a community like Mirasol, which tends to attract a slightly younger ownership base.
