Nestled in the heart of Wellington, Florida, the Wellington Aero Club is a haven for flying enthusiasts, equestrians, active adults, and families alike. Known as one of the few communities in Palm Beach County that allows residents to “fly home” and enjoy private runway access, this remarkable airpark is one of the most unique places to live in. Here’s why:
A flying community unlike any other
Wellington’s Aero Club was designed for those who dream of living with their planes in a community that’s both exclusive and inviting. With a lighted, 4,000-foot paved runway at the community’s center, residents enjoy the freedom to take off from or land right at their homes.
Paved in 2012, the runway in Aero Club accommodates a variety of aircraft types, including twin-engine planes and light jets up to 12,500 pounds. Adding to the convenience is the on-site fuel station that offers avgas and jet fuel, which makes impromptu getaways to the Bahamas or Florida Keys an easy reality.
Custom homes with aviation perks
Each home in the Wellington Aero Club sits on a generous one-acre lot and provides plenty of space and style for discerning buyers. Home sizes vary, with options ranging from around 4,000 square feet to over 10,000 square feet. The majority of these custom-built homes feature private hangars so owners can house their aircraft right in their backyard.
For those who may not fly themselves but still appreciate the luxury and excitement of living in an airpark community, Aero Club offers plenty of non-aviation perks, from sprawling backyards that allow room for resort-style pools, summer kitchens, and entertainment spaces to a clubhouse that provides a setting for social events and gatherings.
Access to an exclusive clubhouse and social scene
The clubhouse at the Aero Club serves as a social hub for residents. Housing a gameroom, billiards area, and an elegant gathering room adjacent to a fully equipped kitchen, it’s perfect for hosting private and community events. Residents frequently gather here for yoga classes, holiday parties, and other social gatherings. Apart from the clubhouse events, the community hosts aviation-themed holiday festivities, where local pilots might even provide fly-bys or impromptu parachuting displays.
Proximity to nearby equestrian and leisure activities
Often regarded as the Winter Equestrian Capital of the World, the city of Wellington brings residents access to premier equestrian facilities. The Wellington International showgrounds is nearby, allowing Aero Club residents to attend world-class events like the Winter Equestrian Festival. For those who appreciate the sport, this proximity to equestrian action adds another layer of appeal to living in Wellington’s Aero Club.
The community is also close to Wellington’s fine dining, high-end shopping, golf courses, and recreational parks. Residents can enjoy a social afternoon at the Wanderers Club for championship golf, dining, tennis, and pickleball, which are all just a short golf cart ride away.
