Deerfield Beach is on the southeastern Florida coast and is the setting for Century Village at Deerfield. It is a gated 55+ community with 8,500 resale condominiums and is one of four Century Villages in Florida.
The community was built from the early-1970s to the mid-1990s. Some of the condominium floor plans have been modified over the years but most have the original layouts. The majority of the units come with two bedrooms and one to two baths, although some one bedroom units and a few oversize two bedroom units are here, too. Sizes range from approximately 650 square feet to 1,550 square feet.
Units are located in secure, two to four story buildings, which are interspersed among ponds, nicely maintained grassy spaces and parking areas. Some condominiums have water or golf course views, and all of them have a private balcony or patio.
Prices start in the low-$100,000s. Monthly HOA fees range from about $250 to $600, depending on the home. Please check with a Realtor to verify these prices as they may change. Rentals are available, too.
Amenities include two clubhouses. The large clubhouse has 145,000 square feet and is the center of life here. It has a theater, a ballroom, a cafe, card rooms, a library, a fitness center, a crafts room, a resort-style swimming pool and more.
The small clubhouse, on the west side of the community, has a ballroom, a catering kitchen, meeting rooms, a swimming pool and tennis courts. Another 15 swimming pools and nine tennis courts are scattered throughout the community. Residents also enjoy an 18 hole, par-64 golf course.
Planned events and group activities keep residents engaged. Book clubs, theater clubs, holiday parties and card games are particularly popular. Scheduled transportation takes residents to medical appointments and nearby shopping malls.
Deerfield Beach was originally named Deerfield for the deer grazing in nearby fields. Today, it draws sun worshippers but not in the numbers seen by some of its neighbors. Clean and often uncrowded, the one-mile-long beach is about three miles from Century Vilalge and is award winning. The town does not have a hospital, but Boca Raton Regional Hospital and North Broward Medical Center are within 5 miles and are accredited.
This area has a tropical monsoon climate. Summers and early fall are hot and humid; late fall and winter are less humid and cooler. The area receives 58 inches of rain per year, on average.
