About Essex at Avenir
Essex at Avenir is one of the residential subdivisions within Avenir. The neighborhood is gated and contains approximately 250 homes, giving it a smaller footprint than the overall Avenir development.
The surrounding Avenir community was planned with residential neighborhoods, natural areas, lakes, walking and biking paths, golf-cart connections, and future commercial development. Essex residents are part of this larger master-planned setting while living within their own gated subdivision.

History of Essex at Avenir
Essex was developed as part of Avenir, one of Palm Beach Gardens’ major newer master-planned communities. Avenir encompasses approximately 4,752 acres and was planned to combine residential neighborhoods with preserved natural areas, recreation, commercial uses, and community facilities.
Development of Avenir began in phases following the acquisition of the former Vavrus Ranch property. The long-term plan called for thousands of homes along with extensive conservation areas, trails, recreational facilities, and a Town Center. Individual residential neighborhoods, including Essex, have been developed as separate subdivisions within that larger plan.
