Overview

About Monterey Estates

Monterey Estates is a small gated community of single-family homes off Lake Ida Road, just east of Hagen Ranch Road. The county roll dates every house to 2003 or 2004.

The county roll counts 48 residential parcels, 35 finished in 2004 and 13 in 2003, on a plat recorded as Bethesda. The homes are Mediterranean in style, according to listings, and lakes run through the community.

The entrance is on the south side of Lake Ida Road, one block east of Hagen Ranch Road. It lies in unincorporated Palm Beach County with a Delray Beach address, so the county sets the millage and issues permits.

We confirm the association, its restrictions and the gate arrangements for a specific home.
