The Acreage is a census-designated place (CDP) located in Palm Beach County, Florida, United States.

The Acreage is located solely within the Indian Trail Improvement District, responsible for maintaining the road and drainage systems within its boundaries.

The Acreage was originally developed by Samuel Friedland and his development company, Royal Palm Beach Colony, Inc., with the name of Royal Palm Beach Colony, as a community to house workers that were employed by the nearby Callery Judge and Mecca Citrus Groves.[when?]

Isolated local flooding occurs yearly, leading sometimes to road closures, with Hurricane Irene being the most memorable to the area.

Rapid development of the area has a recent push for incorporation and is now notably more built up than nearby semi-rural Loxahatchee Groves and suburban Westlake.

The branch has a variety of materials including CDs, DVDs, new arrivals, books, newspapers and magazines.

There are two-themed areas designed especially for children and teens with ample room for materials and comfortable seating.

Land taxes and insurance prices are among the highest in Palm Beach County, far surpassing those of anywhere else in the western communities.

[citation needed] The Minto Westlake housing development passed with 5 votes to begin construction building its 4,500-home community.

Local residents have been deadlocked for years on creating additional roadway access to the area to relieve heavy traffic on the existing roadway network, as many residents want to maintain the peace and quiet in this rural area.

construction was delayed as many residents and environmental groups wanted to protect the local wildlife, but it has eased traffic coming in and out of the area.

On-site ponds, large drainage swales, numerous canals, and houses on elevated land pads help alleviate flooding in this flat, low lying inland area.
