Welcome to
Northwood Shores
Northwood Shores is a highly sought-after waterfront neighborhood known for its historic character, artistic energy, and beautifully preserved architecture.
Northwood Shores is one of West Palm Beach’s most distinctive waterfront neighborhoods—a vibrant coastal enclave known for its architectural charm, relaxed sophistication, and scenic Intracoastal setting. Located just north of downtown, the neighborhood combines historic character with a thriving, creative energy that sets it apart from other coastal communities.
The architecture of Northwood Shores tells the story of early South Florida. The area features an appealing mix of 1920s and 1930s Mediterranean Revival homes, Mission-style cottages, classic midcentury residences, and beautifully updated bungalows framed by mature palms and lush tropical landscaping. Many homes retain their original architectural details—arched doorways, pecky cypress, hardwood floors—while others have been thoughtfully renovated or rebuilt to offer modern luxury within a timeless coastal streetscape.
One of Northwood Shores’ greatest appeals is its waterfront ambiance. The neighborhood borders the Intracoastal Waterway, with scenic vistas, breezy walking paths, and tranquil sunrise views over Palm Beach Island. Residents enjoy easy access to the North Flagler waterfront promenade—ideal for biking, running, or quiet evening strolls with water and marina views.
Northwood Shores is also known for its proximity to the vibrant Northwood Village, a charming dining and shopping district filled with cafés, galleries, restaurants, and boutique shops. The neighborhood is minutes from the Norton Museum of Art, The Square, Antique Row, and the cultural and dining destinations of downtown West Palm Beach. Palm Beach Island’s world-class beaches, restaurants, and social clubs are just over the bridge, making the location both convenient and connected.
Despite its relaxed coastal feel, Northwood Shores has become increasingly desirable for buyers seeking a blend of history, lifestyle, and value. Newer construction homes, meticulous restorations, and thoughtfully designed modern residences continue to elevate the neighborhood’s profile, while its historic cottages and midcentury homes remain highly sought after for their character and charm.
Evenings in Northwood Shores are effortlessly enjoyable—residents head to nearby waterfront restaurants, local art walks, community festivals, or the cultural programming at the Kravis Center and other downtown venues. The neighborhood’s welcoming spirit, architectural diversity, and prime coastal setting make it a standout choice for those seeking the quintessential West Palm Beach lifestyle.
For discerning buyers who appreciate authenticity, walkability, and scenic waterfront living, Northwood Shores offers a unique blend of charm and sophistication in one of the city’s most dynamic and evolving coastal neighborhoods.
