PALM BEACH GARDENS—Six new professionally designed luxury homes were recently unveiled at San Michele, the new guard gated neighborhood of 90 single-family estates created as an “alternative” to country club living.

Designed for the luxury family market, San Michele is a neighborhood that feels more like a private club, noted Bill Dougherty, director of sales for the community.

“With San Michele’s impressive Venetian Club, residents will enjoy a beautiful community club with state-of-the-art cardiovascular and strength training equipment, a social room, swimming center with lush landscaping and two lighted Har-Tru tennis courts,” noted Dougherty. “What they won’t experience are the burdensome costs found at surrounding country clubs for services many families don’t even need or want.”

In addition, San Michele boasts a tot lot for young children and a walkway within the perimeter of the neighborhood, providing a safe byway for tricycles, red wagons, remote-controlled cars and trucks as well as additional exercising opportunities for joggers, roller bladers and power walkers.

“The developers included leisure lifestyle features which would be appealing to families in all stages, such as the fitness center, swimming pool and lighted tennis courts. Parents and children of all ages rank these features as very enjoyable to all members of the family. Missing are card rooms, dining rooms and ballrooms, typically not used by many families,” Dougherty added. “Without expensive country club fees, families can be free to put those funds into larger homes, private schools and dream vacations.”

Situated between nature preserves and lakes, homes at San Michele feature four-, five- and six-bedroom homes with one- and two-story designs, priced from the $600,000s to well over $2 million.

The community’s entry is manned 24-hours a day. Within minutes of San Michele are private and public schools, The Gardens Mall, restaurants and beaches.

To visit, take I-95 to PGA Boulevard, exit west 1 mile to Central Boulevard, turn right. San Michele is 2 miles ahead on the left at the northwest corner of Central Boulevard and Hood Road.
