Century Village West Palm Beach is an age restricted (+55 yrs) active adult community with 24 hour security and manned gated entrances. Century Village is situated on 29 acres just East of Florida's Turnpike with its two secure gates, one located on Okeechobee Blvd. and East Drive, and another on Haverhill Road and Century Blvd. The Village boasts 7,854 units in 356 buildings with 309 associations (corporations). There is no master association which is unique in the state of Florida. Rather, the United Civic Organization (UCO) acts as an advisory group to the associations which send delegates to UCO meetings. The community newspaper is the UCO Reporter which is operated by the UCO Board. The clubhouse is not owned by the associations, but by Beneson Capital Partners in New York, and is managed by WPRF, Inc. The Clubhouse features amenities such as; barber, beauty parlor, fitness center, library, card and activity rooms, as well as an indoor pool. The newly remodeled 1209-seat theater hosts current run movies and live entertainment. Free private bus transportation within the village as well as frequent trips to shopping venues and other activities outside of the village. There are fifteen pools ensuring everyone has the possibility of living within walking distance to a pool. Other activities include billiards, tennis, shuffleboard, sailing, biking, canoeing or just riding around in your golf cart. There is even an on-site drug store, limited medical services and free ambulatory services. Century Village is close to the Palm Beach International Airport, Florida's Turnpike, I-95, the Intracoastal waterway, and our pristine world famous beaches. Also close to City Place, our downtown entertainment, dining ,and shopping hot-spot. The restoration of the clubhouse (which was damaged by Hurricane Frances) took many months and approximately 6 million dollars to complete. Most impressive is that this renovation required no special assessments to the members. The building is now complete and boasts a magnificent theater offering live shows by well-known entertainers and current run movies. There is a large party room with a large dance floor and stage, card room, meeting rooms, hobby and craft rooms, billiard room, sewing room, music room, two exterior swimming pools and one indoor heated saltwater swimming pool, as well as shuffleboard, handball, bocce and racquet ball courts. This beautiful new building was completely remodeled, upgraded and rebuilt to current code, including impact windows so there is no need for hurricane shutters on the building. In addition to the clubhouse there is a large fitness center in the Hastings section of the Village that has free weights, exercise classes, various exercise machines, a resistance pool and a regular swimming pool where water aerobics are offered. Throughout the Village there are a number of satellite pools, tennis courts and the courtesy bus system which takes residents throughout the Village as well as to nearby stores, malls, restaurants, houses of worship and various excursions. While there are no restaurants in the Village there is a Walgreen's Drug Store, a hair salon and a doctor's office.
