Townhouse for Sale in Palm Beach State College, Palm Beach Gardens

Campus life at Palm Beach State College is primarily commuter-focused, with daytime classes, career and transfer programs and limited on‑campus housing. The college is located in suburban Palm Beach Gardens with convenient access to beaches, golf courses, shopping (including The Gardens Mall) and regional highways (I-95 and Florida's Turnpike). The area has a humid subtropical climate—hot, humid summers, mild winters and a June–November hurricane season—and a cost of living and housing costs above the U.S. average. Palm Beach Gardens is generally suburban and relatively safe compared with larger South Florida cities, with well-maintained neighborhoods and municipal services.

Tuition at Palm Beach State College is generally lower than tuition at four‑year public universities, with in‑district/in‑state rates significantly cheaper than out‑of‑state tuition. However, Palm Beach Gardens has a higher-than-national-average cost of housing and living, so total expenses depend largely on local rent and personal living choices. Financial aid, in-district rates, and scholarships commonly reduce the net cost for many students.

Palm Beach Gardens has a tropical monsoon/tropical climate with hot, humid summers and warm, relatively drier winters. The wet season runs May–October with frequent afternoon thunderstorms and most of the roughly 55–60 inches of annual rainfall; hurricane season is June–November (peak Aug–Oct). Summer highs average about 89–92°F (31–33°C) while winter daytime highs are near 74–76°F (23–24°C), with overnight lows occasionally falling into the 50s°F (10–15°C).

The Palm Beach Gardens campus is served by Palm Beach State College’s Department of Public Safety (campus police), which publishes annual security/Clery Act reports, issues safety alerts, and maintains emergency procedures and escort services. Verified campus-specific crime statistics and safety policies are available in the college’s most recent annual security report on its website.
