Overview

About Lakefield

Lakefield wraps around the golf course of the Wanderers Club, off Aero Club Drive in western Wellington. It goes by three names on the ground, Lakefield North, Lakefield South and Lakefield West, and its homes were built from 1989 to 2004.

The county roll counts 519 single-family houses. The median house was built in 1996, and the typical one has about 2,040 square feet of living area, with the larger homes over 3,000. Lots are smaller than in nearby Meadow Wood, mostly a sixth to a quarter acre.

It was recorded with Palm Beach County as Lakefield of the Landings at Wellington. South Club Drive and Country Golf Drive carry most of the homes, and the West section adds courts named for Mediterranean places, Corsica, Sicily, Menorca and Milan.

The Wanderers Club is a private club with its own memberships, separate from the homes. Its course opened in 1985. Lakefield sits in the 33414 ZIP close to Binks Forest, Meadow Wood and the Aero Club. Lakefield North, Lakefield South and Lakefield West each have their own homeowners’ association on the Florida corporate register, filed in 1989; we confirm which one applies to a specific home.
