The verdict

A livable, honestly-kept home in a better-than-average ZIP — sold at a top-of-the-market price, with one genuinely unresolved question: FEMA's official flood map puts this address in a Special Flood Hazard Area (Zone AE), while the listing site displays "minimal risk." That answer can change the insurance bill by thousands a year. Resolve it before you offer, negotiate against the sold comps, and this can still be a fine buy.

The 5 things a buyer needs to know

1 · The flood maps disagree about this exact address

FEMA's National Flood Hazard Layer returns Zone AE at the address point (panel 12099C); points ~130 ft north, south, and west return Zone X. Zillow displays Zone X, "minimal risk." If the lender's certified determination places the structure in AE, flood insurance is mandatory — budget $1,200–$3,000+/yr (estimate). Get the flood cert and elevation certificate during inspection, not after closing.

2 · The price is the top of the range, not the middle

At $370,000, the ask is 17.6% above the $314,500 Zestimate and $33,000 above the top of Zillow's own range. Sold comps inside Summit Pines: $325,000 (2-bed), $339,900, $340,000, $369,500 (3-bed). A 2-bedroom asking what the best 3-bedroom sold for leaves no cushion.

3 · Your tax bill won't be the seller's

The seller pays $3,890/yr on a Save Our Homes–capped assessment of $168,022. On a sale the cap resets toward county just value ($263,708 on the current roll). Budget roughly $4,800–$6,200/yr (estimate — verify with the Palm Beach County Tax Collector) and expect escrow to be set on the new number.

4 · Insurance costs far more than the listing implies

The listing site's payment math assumes $105/mo for insurance. Florida's average in-force policy was $3,675/yr in the state's own filed data (May 2026). For this home, budget $4,200–$5,800/yr (estimate). The swing factor is the roof: county records show the material, not the age — on a 1986 home, an old roof can mean surcharges or a refused policy.

5 · The schools split — great start, weak finish

Pine Jog Elementary 6/10, Palm Springs Middle 5/10, John I. Leonard High 3/10 (GreatSchools). Even with no kids in the house, the high-school rating narrows your future buyer pool at resale.

What's genuinely good here

Concrete-block construction; a ~25-year owner rather than a flip (last sold Dec 20, 2000 for $89,500); a quiet interior-circle street; low $75/mo HOA; ZIP crime below the national average overall, with this home in the ZIP's safer southwest quadrant; no major new development found nearby. A decent house — with a rich price and one unanswered flood question.

Score breakdown

Price fairness45Ask sits above Zillow's range and at the top of sold comps for a 2-bed.
Flood & insurance40FEMA AE/X conflict unresolved at this address; Florida's average homeowners policy runs $3,675/yr (Florida OIR) — and flood is a separate policy.
Crime & safety68ZIP overall grade A− (77th percentile); violent crime about average (C+).
Schools52Elementary 6/10, middle 5/10, high school 3/10.
Noise & daily life62Quiet street, but fully car-dependent (Walk Score 8/100); airport 2.6 mi.
Development74No major rezonings found nearby; utility work on Summit Blvd / Jog Rd.
Cost predictability50Tax reset coming, roof age unknown, 1986 systems; low HOA is a plus.

Weights: price 20% · flood & insurance 20% · safety 15% · cost predictability 15% · schools 10% · noise 10% · development 10%. The score measures homework remaining — not whether the home is "good" or "bad."

Before you offer — the checklist this report creates

  • Get the certified flood determination + elevation certificate; price flood insurance both ways (structure in AE vs. X).
  • Ask for the roof's age and permit history in writing — it drives insurability on a 1986 Florida home.
  • Get a real insurance quote during inspection and re-run the monthly payment with it.
  • Confirm the 1990 sunroom's permitting; it's excluded from the county living-area figure the price is based on.
  • Anchor the offer to the sold comps ($325k–$369.5k) and the unresolved flood question.
  • Verify the buyer's tax estimate with the Palm Beach County Tax Collector before closing.
