Schools
From Palm Beach County’s open data copy of the School District of Palm Beach County’s attendance zones, matched to every residential address:

Home values
The typical home value in ZIP code 33418 was $730,715 in August 2026, up 3.8% from $703,836 in August 2025. Zillow’s figure for Palm Beach Gardens as a whole was $695,799, up 3.2%. The Zillow Home Value Index is a modeled typical value for the middle third of homes, single-family houses and condos together, not a sale price.
