New Stores, Restaurants, and More Coming Soon
Near Avenir, in Palm Beach Gardens
Picture this: You're sipping morning coffee at a café you can walk to, grabbing fresh groceries five minutes from home, and scheduling a doctor's appointment without leaving your neighborhood. This isn't a distant vision; it's what's taking shape at Avenir right now. If you're considering new construction homes in Palm Beach Gardens, the planned Avenir Town Center, nearby dining and retail at Coconut Crossing, and an on-site Health Park are transforming this master-planned community into a truly walkable, live-work-play destination. Here's the inside look at what's coming and why it matters for homeowners at L'Ambiance at Avenir and Esprit at Avenir.
Avenir Town Center: The Heart of Daily Life
Every great neighborhood has that sweet spot, somewhere between home and work, where life actually happens. The Avenir Town Center is being designed as exactly that kind of place. With tenant buildouts underway and first openings anticipated in 2026, this walkable hub will bring the rhythm of daily life right to your doorstep.
What makes a town center work? It's the layering of needs and wants in one compact area. Here's what's already confirmed for Avenir Town Center:

The vision isn't just about convenience, it's about creating the kind of walkable lifestyle that's increasingly rare in South Florida. And here's something that makes Avenir especially appealing: the entire community is golf cart-friendly with dedicated cart paths. That means your morning coffee run to Carmela Toast, your grocery trip to Publix, or your dinner reservation at Seppe Pizza Bar can happen without ever starting your car. The golf cart paths also connect residents directly to Sandhill Crane Golf Club and The Nest, making tee times genuinely accessible.
For buyers considering new construction homes in Palm Beach Gardens, especially those looking at L'Ambiance at Avenir and Esprit at Avenir, this combination of confirmed retail, walkable design, and golf cart infrastructure isn't a concept; it's already taking shape.
Coconut Crossing: When You Need More Options
Just east along Northlake Boulevard, Coconut Crossing adds another layer of choice to the Avenir lifestyle. Think of it as your "Plan B" for groceries, your quick coffee stop en route to the beach, or the place you hit when you need something specific that Town Center doesn't carry.
The development plan includes national grocery brands, familiar coffee chains, and everyday services, the kind of reliable options that matter when you're:
- Picking up last-minute items before hosting dinner
- Grabbing breakfast sandwiches before a golf tee time
- Running multiple errands in one efficient loop
- Comparing prices or brands across different stores
Together, Avenir Town Center and Coconut Crossing create a retail ecosystem that reduces how often you need to drive to the busier shopping corridors. That's a subtle but real quality-of-life upgrade.
Health Park at Avenir: Peace of Mind, Built In
Here's something most master plans don't include: a dedicated Health Park right inside the community gates. Avenir's planned medical campus will feature a micro-hospital supported by established regional healthcare providers, plus primary care and specialty practices.
Why does this matter? For retirees and active adults exploring 55+ community options in Palm Beach Gardens, proximity to quality healthcare isn't just convenient, it's strategic. The difference between a five-minute drive and a thirty-minute drive to urgent care or a routine specialist appointment compounds over time. For seasonal residents splitting time between Florida and another state, having trusted medical care within the community simplifies managing health needs while you're here.
And for families considering new construction homes in Palm Beach Gardens, an on-site Health Park means fewer disruptions when someone gets sick, easier coordination of care for aging parents who may eventually move nearby, and the reassurance that medical help isn't far when emergencies happen.
Somerset Academy Avenir: World-Class Education Within the Gates
For families weighing new construction homes in Palm Beach Gardens, school proximity often makes or breaks a decision. Avenir addresses this with a dedicated space for Somerset Academy Avenir, a charter school that will serve students from pre-kindergarten through high school, all within minutes of your front door.
What does this mean practically? No lengthy morning commutes to drop off kids. No complex carpooling arrangements. And for families with multiple children at different grade levels, everyone attends school in the same location. Somerset Academy's reputation for academic rigor and college preparation brings the kind of educational quality that typically requires living in specific school districts, but here it's built into the master plan.
Beyond Somerset, Palm Beach County offers excellent public school options from elementary through high school, plus alternative schools and higher education institutions ranging from community colleges to universities for undergraduate, post-graduate, and adult learning students. But having a high-performing charter school within walking distance, or a quick golf cart ride, changes the daily rhythm of family life.
The Location Equation: What You Gain vs. What You Trade
Avenir sits in an interesting sweet spot within Palm Beach Gardens, far enough west to offer breathing room and newer infrastructure, but still connected to the coastal lifestyle that defines the area. Northlake Boulevard becomes your main artery, linking you to beaches, established golf courses, legacy shopping districts, and now, the emerging retail at Avenir Town Center and Coconut Crossing.
What you're trading is the older-neighborhood charm of eastern Palm Beach Gardens, the mature tree canopies, and the shorter distances to the Intracoastal. What you're gaining is modern construction, planned walkability, protected nature preserves, and the chance to be part of a community that's still taking shape rather than already built out.
For buyers weighing active adult homes versus luxury single-family designs, or comparing master-planned communities across the region, Avenir's appeal comes down to this: it's offering an increasingly rare combination of new construction quality, genuine mixed-use planning, and the natural Florida landscape that initially drew people to Palm Beach Gardens decades ago.
Why Avenir Keeps Appearing on Buyer Shortlists
When buyers tour multiple new construction homes in Palm Beach Gardens, certain factors consistently push Avenir toward the top of the list:
- The address advantage: Palm Beach Gardens carries weight; it's synonymous with golf, beaches, and an established quality of life. Avenir delivers that reputation with contemporary construction.
- Preservation by design: Unlike communities that clear everything for rooftops, Avenir weaves homes around existing lakes, trails, and protected natural areas. The result feels more like living in a landscape than on top of one.
- The retail timing: Buying now means you'll be settled when Avenir Town Center opens in 2026, rather than moving in after the retail honeymoon ends. You'll be part of the community that shapes which businesses survive and thrive.
- Healthcare infrastructure: The planned Health Park eliminates one of the biggest hesitations for retirees considering newer developments: "What if we need medical care quickly?"
- Education on-site: Somerset Academy Avenir means families don't sacrifice school quality for new construction; you get both.
- Golf cart lifestyle: Dedicated cart paths connect homes to shops, restaurants, and Sandhill Crane Golf Club and The Nest, making car-free living genuinely possible.
- Builder reputation: Kolter Homes brings decades of Florida building experience, which matters when you're making a decision you'll live with for years or decades.
These aren't abstract amenities; they're the practical details that affect whether you'll actually love living somewhere five years from now.
Model homes open daily. Private and virtual appointments available.
