Nestled along one of South Florida’s most breathtaking stretches of coastline, Gulf Stream is an oceanside haven where Palm Beach history and understated luxury converge. Conceived in the 1920s by the Phipps family as a refined winter enclave, the Town was anchored by the Addison Mizner–designed Gulf Stream Golf Club, the prestigious polo fields known as the “Winter Polo Capital of the World,” and a collection of architect-designed oceanfront estates built to embody the Phipps ideal of “understated elegance.”
Gulf Stream’s heritage is also tied to Florida’s iconic coastal highway. The scenic route now known as The Jimmy Buffett Memorial Highway (A1A) once featured a continuous canopy of Australian Pines from Jacksonville to Miami—but today, Gulf Stream is the only place where this historic canopy remains, protected and actively cultivated by the Town.
Nearly a century later, Gulf Stream remains true to its founders’ vision: a quiet, exclusively residential community defined by grand oceanfront homes, preserved natural landscapes, and a sense of serenity rarely found in South Florida. For those who value privacy, beauty, and a rich architectural and cultural lineage, Gulf Stream offers an exceptional and timeless coastal lifestyle
