PALM BEACH COUNTY · TENNIS LIFESTYLE GUIDANCE

Find the Right
Tennis Community
Before You Buy

Palm Beach County offers an unmatched collection of tennis communities, each with its own club culture, level of play, membership structure, and lifestyle. Personalized guidance helps you focus on the communities that fit your game, your lifestyle, and your long-term goals before you begin touring homes.

Learn About the Buyer Experience

Why Community Comes Before Home

Choosing a community based on price and square footage alone is how tennis players end up in the wrong place. A beautiful home doesn't guarantee the right court surfaces, court availability, level of play, club culture, or membership structure for the way you want to live and compete.

The right community shapes far more than your home buying decision. It determines who you play with, the quality of the tennis program, the style of membership, how active the social calendar is, and whether the lifestyle matches your long-term goals.

Palm Beach Tennis Homes is built around one question before the home search begins.

Which communities fit how you play and how you want to live?

The answer comes from local knowledge of Palm Beach County's clubs, racquet programs, memberships, neighborhoods, and tennis culture, not from a listing search. Once you've identified the community that fits, you can focus your home search with confidence, knowing you're looking in the right place.

Experience the Tennis Lifestyle Firsthand

Play Tennis with Chris

Beyond helping you identify the right cities and communities, I also offer optional opportunities to experience Palm Beach County tennis firsthand when time, scheduling, and court availability allow.

  • Hit with me at my home facility
  • Join a doubles match with local players
  • Get a recommendation for a local teaching professional
  • Visit additional facilities or academies that match your interests

These are optional opportunities available when schedules, court availability, and participating teaching professionals allow. Certain third-party activities, including private lessons, may involve additional fees paid directly to the instructor or facility.

Why Work with Chris Smith

I've played competitive tennis for more than 60 years, including college tennis, multiple USTA National Championship appearances, ownership of a private racquet club, and serving as an assistant women's college tennis coach. During more than 25 years of league and recreational tennis in Palm Beach County, I've played at many of the communities, clubs, and public facilities featured throughout this site. That experience allows me to look beyond marketing brochures and understand what a community is actually like to play in, live in, and become part of.

Palm Beach Tennis Homes was built from that same perspective. The cities, communities, facilities, and academies featured throughout this site reflect years of firsthand experience, research, and local knowledge. The Palm Beach Tennis Homes Buyer Experience turns that knowledge into personalized guidance built around your game, your lifestyle, and your long-term goals.
