Overview
About Golden Lakes
Golden Lakes is a planned unit development recorded as Golden Lakes Village, built out in sections from 1974 to 1992. The county roll counts 1,879 condominium units and four houses, most of them finished between 1974 and 1985.
The homes are grouped into a long series of separately recorded condominiums, numbered and lettered on the roll, such as Golden Lakes Village Condominium A, E, F, 7 and 8. Most streets are named Lake and a first name: Lake Dora, Lake Frances, Lake Carol, Lake Evelyn and Lake Meryl Drives. Units are compact, typically about 900 square feet, from about 700 to 1,200.
Each condominium has its own association under Chapter 718 of Florida law, so the rules, approvals and costs that apply depend on which building a unit is in. We confirm the condominium, its association and its documents for a specific unit.
Golden Lakes is outside the city limits, in unincorporated Palm Beach County, but carries West Palm Beach addresses in the 33411 ZIP. The census once counted it as its own place, covering about 2.4 square miles. Andros Isle, Breakers West and BayWinds are nearby.

What Else to Check
- Several condominium associations Golden Lakes is made up of many separately recorded condominiums, each with its own association; we confirm which one applies to a specific unit and whether any master association sits above it.
- Unincorporated county Golden Lakes is outside the City of West Palm Beach, so county services and county rules apply rather than the City’s; we check the tax bill for a specific unit.
- Taxes and insurance After a sale the assessed value resets the following January. Flood zone and roof age drive insurance quotes, so we check both for the address.
- Estoppel The closing agent orders an estoppel certificate from each association, which confirms what is owed at closing.
Documents to Review Before Closing
- Before you sign: leasing, pet and approval rules if they matter to you
- After you sign: the declaration, articles, bylaws, rules, budget and reserves, with the cancellation window Florida law sets once you receive them
- For buildings three stories or taller: milestone inspection and structural integrity reserve study status
- Before closing: the estoppel certificate from the condominium association
