About Minto Communities
They didn't just build in Westlake — they built Westlake
Minto Communities USA is the American arm of The Minto Group, a family-owned Canadian builder with roots going back more than four decades. In the US, they've built homes in Florida, Maryland, Ottawa, and the Carolinas — over 38,000 homes across 48 communities. Their approach in South Florida has been to build large, master-planned projects rather than smaller infill communities.
The clearest example of that approach is Westlake. In 2016, Minto worked with Palm Beach County to incorporate Westlake as a standalone municipality — a city in the legal sense, with its own government. That's unusual. It means Minto controlled not just the housing but the town center, parks infrastructure, and long-term land use planning. The Westlake Adventure Park and town center amenities aren't HOA afterthoughts; they were planned into the city's founding documents.
For buyers, that distinction matters mostly if you're thinking long-term. A community that was built with coordinated planning tends to age better than one that grew organically. The tradeoff is that Westlake is western Palm Beach County — about 20 minutes to Royal Palm Beach, 30+ to the coast. It's a suburban buy.
What makes Westlake different
An actual city
Westlake incorporated as its own municipality in 2016. Planning, parks, and infrastructure were designed as one coordinated project — not pieced together after the fact.
Three home collections under one master plan
Townhomes, single family homes, and estate homes all sit within the same community. Buyers can start in a townhome and move up within Westlake without leaving.
Westlake Adventure Park
A full amenity park — resort-style pool, splash pad, sports courts, fitness center, dog park, and playgrounds — built as part of the community's founding, not added later.
Town Center walkability
Retail, dining, and services at the community's center. Not every master-planned community achieves this; Westlake's town center is genuinely functional.
MasterCare warranty program
Minto's in-house service team handles post-closing warranty items. 1-year workmanship coverage with Minto's own team following up rather than third-party contractors.
A-rated Palm Beach County schools
Westlake sits within the Palm Beach County school district, which is one of the stronger large-district systems in Florida.

55+ Active Adult Brand
Latitude Margaritaville® — Minto's 55+ Joint Venture
Minto partnered with Margaritaville Holdings to develop Latitude Margaritaville, a 55+ active adult brand with resort amenities, tropical theming, and an unusually social community culture. The active Florida location — Latitude Margaritaville Watersound in Panama City Beach — is in the Panhandle, outside our primary Palm Beach County market. Homes start from the $300s with cottages, villas, and single family options in 2–3 bedroom configurations.
If you're looking for a 55+ community in western Palm Beach County, Westlake itself has no age restriction — or we can walk you through the larger 55+ market in PBC, which includes Cresswind, GL Homes' Valencia brand, and Four Seasons by K. Hovnanian®. Call us and we'll compare them side by side.

Minto's sales agents work for Minto
The Westlake sales center is professional and well-run. The agents there will walk you through every model home, explain the collections, and guide you through contract. They're good at their jobs. But their job is to sell Minto homes — not to review the contract on your behalf or push back on terms that don't favor you. That's what a buyer's agent does.
| Task | Minto Sales Agent | Pure Equity Realty (Your Agent) |
|---|---|---|
| Walk you through model homes | ✓ | ✓ |
| Explain floor plans and collections | ✓ | ✓ |
| Guide you through the contract process | ✓ | ✓ |
| Review contract terms on your behalf | — | ✓ |
| Push back on unfavorable terms | — | ✓ |
| Compare financing against outside lenders | — | ✓ |
| Represent your interests at closing | — | ✓ |
| Cost to you | Free | Free — builder pays |
The one rule that matters: Your buyer's agent must be registered with Minto before your first visit to any sales office or model home. Once you walk in unregistered, Minto will not add an agent to the contract. It costs you nothing to register — Pure Equity Realty (License BK3276618) handles registration for you before you go.

Common Questions
About Minto and Westlake
Who is Minto Communities?+
Minto Communities USA is the American division of The Minto Group, a Canadian real estate company that's been building homes for over 45 years. In the US, they've built more than 38,000 homes across 48 communities. Their signature project in South Florida is Westlake — an entire incorporated city they developed in western Palm Beach County.
What is Westlake, FL and why is it different from other communities?+
Westlake isn't just a subdivision — it's an actual city. Minto worked with Palm Beach County to incorporate Westlake in 2016, which means the city government, town center, parks, and community planning were all built as one coordinated project. That's rare. Most master-planned communities sit within an existing municipality; Westlake is its own. The result is a cohesion you don't usually find: the parks, town center retail, and amenities were all designed to work together from day one.
What home types does Minto offer at Westlake?+
Three collections: townhomes starting in the $370s, single family homes in the mid-$400s to $600s range, and estate homes above that. Bed counts run from 2 to 6, so the community accommodates first-time buyers, growing families, and move-up buyers within the same master plan.
What is the MasterCare program?+
MasterCare is Minto's post-closing service and warranty program. It covers the standard Florida new construction warranty terms plus Minto's own service team for follow-up items after move-in. If something needs attention in the first year, you're dealing with Minto directly rather than hunting down subcontractors.
What is Latitude Margaritaville and is it in South Florida?+
Latitude Margaritaville is a 55+ active adult brand Minto developed with Margaritaville Holdings. The South Florida–area version — Latitude Margaritaville Watersound — is in Panama City Beach (Bay County, Florida Panhandle), not Palm Beach County. If you're specifically looking for a 55+ Minto community in South Florida, Westlake's single family collections have no age restriction and the community is family-friendly. The Latitude Margaritaville product is worth knowing about if you're open to the Panhandle.
Does Pure Equity Realty represent buyers at Minto communities?+
Yes. We represent buyers at Westlake at no cost to you — Minto pays the commission. The one firm rule: your agent must be registered before your first visit to the sales center. Once you walk in unregistered, Minto won't add a buyer's agent to the contract after the fact. Register before you go — it takes two minutes and costs you nothing.
