A Quiet Golf Course Could Become One Of West Boynton's Largest New Communities
170 Acres Near Jog and Hypoluxo Road Could Soon Transform Into Large Housing Community
A major residential development has been proposed for the former Falls Golf & Country Club. This property sits at the northwest corner of Jog Road and Hypoluxo Road in western Boynton Beach. The nearly 170-acre site, which stretches west to Hagen Ranch Road, closed permanently as a golf course in 2025. But now it’s the focus of a major redevelopment plan. Developer GL Homes has proposed an 800-unit residential community with about 500 single-family homes and 300 apartment units, including a six-story apartment building.
Amenities would include tennis and pickleball courts, a clubhouse, and several lakes throughout the property. The developer purchased the land around 2014–2015 but was required to keep the golf course operating for at least 10 years before converting it to another use. Now that the agreement has expired, the company is seeking approval from Palm Beach County to move forward. The proposal is expected to spark debate among nearby residents over increased traffic, loss of green space, and infrastructure concerns.
Boynton Beach Home Prices Are Dropping — Here’s What’s Happening
As 2026 unfolds, homeowners and buyers in Boynton Beach are closely watching the local housing market after the sharp price increases of the post-pandemic years. Recent data shows prices have cooled, with average home values around $390,000 - about a 6–7% decline - while some reports place the median sale price near $305,000, down from last year. Homes are also staying on the market longer as sellers adjust prices and expectations.
The shift is largely driven by higher inventory and rising interest rates, which have slowed buyer demand and reduced bidding wars. Despite the recent decline, analysts say the market is moving toward a more balanced environment between buyers and sellers. Short-term forecasts suggest modest price growth of about 1–3% as mortgage rates stabilize and buyer confidence returns. Long-term projections remain positive, with steady growth expected over the next decade as Boynton Beach continues to attract new residents and development.

🤔 Did You Know?
Few people know that Boynton Beach once had subterranean shoreline caves. Some reportedly served as rest stops for the barefoot mailmen, while local teens later used them to sneak into the wine cellars of nearby mansions. The caves were sealed off decades ago and the land is now covered by homes, but the rocky ridges that marked their entrances can still be seen along the beach.
