Palm Beach Gardens is a beautiful city in Palm Beach County with a relatively laidback feel and plentiful greenery. This may be why almost 30% of its 59,182 residents are in the 65 and older age group — almost double the national average. Another factor will be the excellent health care facilities, such as the high-performing Palm Beach Gardens Medical Center, and the significant number of Medicare-registered physicians.
