Abacoa is a place
where people can live and work and go to school. Here are neighborhoods
that can accommodate people of all ages and income levels, and houses
that will function the way that people do today, yet bringing back into
play the ideas of the traditional, neighborly community from America's
past- front porches, alley access garages, central community greens and
community buildings for neighborly get-togethers. All neighborhoods are
located within walking distance of many of the shops and services which
are helpful to have close by.
Shopping
Abacoa's retail and commercial districts mirror the way
that most people conduct their lives, a balance of work, shopping,
leisure and home life. If neighborhoods are the soul of Abacoa, the Town
Center is its heart. Here will be the old fashioned Main Street setting
in all its pedestrian-friendly, eclectic glory. Restaurants, offices and
neighborhood - scale stores mix easily with the university campuses, the
stadium and even the golf course just a block away. The pulse of the
Town Center will be the rhythm of daily life, with parents running
errands and kids meeting their friends with all the resources of a
community within easy reach.
Roger Dean Stadium
Roger Dean Stadium brings baseball into the center of
Abacoa, hosting spring training for the Florida Marlins and St. Louis
Cardinals, as well as the Jupiter Hammerheads and Palm Beach Cardinals
minor league baseball teams. The stadium blends into the community,
hosting and participating in community events and activities.
Education
Two contiguous college
campuses are across the street from the stadium and Town Center, placing
the benefits of a college-town environment practically at the doorsteps
of Abacoa residents. The campuses are home to the Northern Palm Beach
branch campus of Florida Atlantic University and the Honors College. The
two provide a unique mix - the considerable programmatic and research
opportunities of a state university system at the branch campus, coupled
with the intimate and in-depth learning environment of the Honors
College
Abacoa Golf Club
More than simply an amenity, the Abacoa Golf Club is
intended to be a community resource, an asset that can be shared. The
golf course makes what is essentially open space more accessible; it
is a public course, with no membership requirements. At the same time
the course is designed to be of championship caliber, thus bringing
challenge to the play and satisfaction to the game. Whether birdie or
bogey, golf at the Abacoa Golf Club follows the course of the game,
which is to make it an integral part of its surroundings.
