When people first started looking into country club communities in Boynton Beach, Aberdeen will keep coming up. It's got the lush fairways, the lake views, the tennis courts, and, of course, a solid golf course.

But one question came up over and over—is Aberdeen a 55+ community? The short answer? Most of it is.

If you're looking for the country club experience without the mandatory buy-in, those East Aberdeen neighborhoods give you that option, too. However, they can be hard to come by.

But here's what you really need to know.

Where Is Aberdeen Golf Community Located?

Aberdeen Golf & Country Club is tucked into the western side of Boynton Beach, Florida—just off Jog Road and a quick drive from both I-95 and the Turnpike. If you're coming down from Palm Beach or swinging in from Boca, it's an easy ride either way. And once you drive in, you'll know you've arrived somewhere special.

Aberdeen isn't just one neighborhood—it's a collection of villages, each with its own style of living.

You'll find everything from condos and coach homes to single-family residences, spread across beautifully maintained grounds. The entire community surrounds the Aberdeen Country Club, which is really the heartbeat of the area.

Now here's something important—on the east side of Jog Road, there are six "East Aberdeen" communities that are part of the greater Aberdeen area but do not require a mandatory club membership or equity buy-in.

You enjoy the benefits of a neighborhood feel without the obligation. And if you do want access to the country club amenities, membership is optional for those residents.

So, Who Lives in Aberdeen?

The vibe definitely leans toward an active 55+ adult lifestyle. Most folks are here for the golf, the social life, and the amenities. If you're looking for peace and quiet with a side of happy hour and pickleball, this place checks all the boxes.
