The real monthly cost of owning in Wellington
Take the median $748,000 home with 20% down at today’s 7.03% 30-year rate: principal and interest run about $3,993/month. Palm Beach County’s typical total millage is 18.72 mills, so after the $50,000 homestead exemption the property tax is roughly $13,066/year ($1,089/month) for a new owner — the seller’s capped bill on the listing will be lower and is not your number. Citizens Property Insurance’s average premium in Palm Beach County is about $1,753/year; private-market quotes vary with roof age and wind mitigation. 74% of current Wellington listings carry an HOA, with a median of $540/month where one applies. All in, budget on the order of $5,768/month to own the median Wellington home including a typical HOA.

Schools, taxes, and insurance: where to verify
School assignments change; check the Palm Beach County school grades page for the district’s current grades, and confirm zoning for a specific address directly with the district. Property tax figures on this page use Palm Beach County’s typical millage of 18.72; municipal and special-district millage varies inside the county. Insurance uses Citizens’ Palm Beach County average of $1,753/year; a wind-mitigation inspection and roof age can move a private quote a long way in either direction.
