Smith Farm Lake Worth Community Guide

Homes & active listings

Start with the village, then compare the house

The master association’s village directions identify Bridlewood, Candlewood, Forest View, Hampton Creek, Kingsmill, Legacy Estates, Legacy Chase, Legacy Reserve, Millwalk and Timberwood. These are neighborhoods within Smith Farm, not interchangeable names for one association package. The same document places Rockport Circle in Candlewood, Stonehurst Circle in Legacy Estates and Squirewood Way in Legacy Chase. Confirm the street, recorded lot and applicable village for the home you are considering.

The checked resale inventory contains detached single-family residences with different room arrangements and garage and yard sizes. Compare a single-level layout with a two-story home by locating the bedrooms, laundry and full bathrooms you would use every day. Visit the upstairs rooms as well as the main living space. Verify conditioned living area separately from garage, porch and patio area before comparing price per square foot.

A lake or preserve outlook is a setting, not a guarantee of access or future improvement rights. Walk the lot, review the survey and drainage or conservation easements, and check pool and fence approvals. For an existing pool, compare equipment, screening, resurfacing and maintenance alongside the interior condition. No named Smith Farm floor-plan collection was located on 55places, so no unverified model roster or model square footage is supplied here.

Separate active and closed searches use Smith Dairy West legal descriptions plus ZIP 33467. Checked results match Smith Farm streets and recorded plats. Mailing-city labels vary, so a Lake Worth or Greenacres label alone does not determine jurisdiction. Ask Paul to reconcile village, legal lot and current status; alternate listing descriptions may be missed.

Associations, costs & approvals

The master association and your village both matter

The official site identifies Smith Farm Master Association, Inc. and Campbell Property Management. Its architectural page explicitly separates master and village requirements. Obtain the master declaration and amendments plus the documents for the applicable village. A rule or service described for Hampton Creek, Candlewood or another village should not be applied to every Smith Farm address.

The association states that exterior changes need approval from both the village and master architectural committees and that the more restrictive applicable requirement governs. It also says written guidelines prevail over website differences. Ask for the latest project-specific requirements and retain prior approvals, especially for roof replacement, paint, additions, windows, shutters, fences and pools. Association approval and government permits are separate checks.

Current master and village fees, special assessments, reserves, transfer contributions, application charges and included services are unverified for an individual home. Request separate written figures and an estoppel for every applicable association. Reconcile any listing fee with its payment frequency and what it includes. Do not assume one advertised figure combines all obligations or that a bulk-service posting fixes the exact property’s present service package.

Current age and occupancy provisions, pet restrictions, lease waiting periods and minimum terms, vehicle rules and purchase or tenant approval procedures require the current master and village documents. Checked MLS records display different lease restrictions, which is a reason to verify the property rather than choose the most favorable listing statement. Mandatory recreation obligations, membership terms and exact-property amenity entitlements remain unverified in a complete current written package.

Request the current declaration and amendments, adopted rules, budget, assessment notices, application and fee schedules, architectural standards and property-specific estoppel. Keep association charges separate from any recreation or club agreement.

Closed sales & selling

Build a relevant Smith Farm sale comparison.

Make it easy for a buyer to understand which Smith Farm village your home belongs to and what makes its layout and lot useful. Assemble the floor plan, roof and window records, approved exterior changes and current master and village information. Relevant closed sales should account for stairs, living area, pool condition, exposure and updates. Clear documentation helps buyers assess the home without relying on an incomplete community-wide fee estimate.

Closed searches show sales from the past six months. Compare dates, condition, usable living area, lot and ownership obligations before treating a sale as a current comparable. These results do not imply Paul represented the transaction.
