New Construction Homes in Palm Beach Gardens & Jupiter (2026)
If you want a home built to today’s standards, modern layouts, energy efficiency, and current hurricane-resistant construction, northern Palm Beach County is one of South Florida’s most active new-construction markets. Palm Beach Gardens and Jupiter are adding master-planned communities and gated golf enclaves at a steady clip. Here’s a guide to new construction homes in Palm Beach Gardens and Jupiter, the major communities, and what to know before you buy new.
- Avenir is a 4,752-acre master-planned community in Palm Beach Gardens, with a Town Center expected to open in 2026 (City of Palm Beach Gardens).
- Panther National (a gated golf enclave within Avenir) and the established Alton community anchor PBG’s new-build market.
- In Jupiter, Sonoma Isles (DiVosta) and Jupiter Country Club (Greg Norman golf, Toll Brothers homes) lead newer construction.
- New builds meet current Florida Building Code wind standards, but still inspect, and budget for upgrades, HOA, and possible CDD fees.

Why buy new construction in this area?
New construction lets you skip the compromises of an older home. You get modern, open layouts, current energy-efficiency standards, builder warranties, and, often, the ability to choose finishes. Just as important in South Florida, new homes are built to the current Florida Building Code, including up-to-date wind-resistance requirements, which can mean lower insurance and less worry come storm season. (For more on how those features affect cost, see our guide to hurricane-resilient home buying.)
The trade-off is that new construction usually carries a premium over comparable resale homes, and you may wait months for completion. For many buyers, the lower maintenance and modern systems are worth it.
What are the major new-construction communities in Palm Beach Gardens?
Palm Beach Gardens is anchored by Avenir, a sprawling 4,752-acre master-planned community on the city’s western side, with a Town Center expected to open in 2026 (City of Palm Beach Gardens). Avenir is being built out by multiple national builders across a range of neighborhoods and price tiers. Within Avenir sits Panther National, a gated golf enclave of custom estate homes built around a championship course, the area’s high-end new-construction statement. Nearby, Alton is an established master-planned community that helped set the template for modern PBG living.
What about new construction in Jupiter?
Jupiter’s newer construction skews toward gated, amenity-rich communities. Sonoma Isles, a gated DiVosta-built community, is one of Jupiter’s larger newer developments, with lakefront homesites and resort-style amenities. Jupiter Country Club is a guard-gated golf community featuring an 18-hole Greg Norman-designed course and homes built by Toll Brothers (now operated under Invited Clubs). And within the established Abacoa community, Windsor Park at Abacoa offers newer neighborhood-style living near Abacoa’s walkable town center.
What should you know before buying new construction?
Buying new isn’t the same as buying resale. A few essentials:
- Builder contracts differ. They favor the builder more than a standard resale contract, have an experienced agent review yours before you sign.
- Upgrades add up. The model-home finishes you love are often costly options; price the home as you’d actually build it.
- Timelines slip. Construction delays happen; build flexibility into your plans.
- Still inspect. Even new homes benefit from an independent inspection, see our home inspection guide.
- Know the fees. Many new communities carry HOA dues and, in some cases, CDD (Community Development District) assessments that fund infrastructure, factor both into your budget.
How much does new construction cost here?
It varies widely by community, builder, and home type, and builder pricing changes frequently, so treat any figure as a moving target and get current numbers per community. For context, Jupiter’s overall median sale price was around $722,000 in early 2026 and Palm Beach County’s single-family median about $645,000 (Redfin; BeachesMLS / MIAMI REALTORS), with new construction and gated golf enclaves like Panther National running well above those medians. The smart move is to set your budget first, then match it to the community and builder that fit.
