West Palm Beach

West Palm Beach is one of South Florida’s most dynamic and culturally rich cities, offering a refined coastal lifestyle with a true sense of place. Framed by the shimmering Intracoastal Waterway, the city blends historic neighborhoods with contemporary luxury living, world-class arts programming, and a thriving culinary scene.

At its heart is a walkable downtown filled with acclaimed restaurants, galleries, boutique shops, and beautifully restored historic buildings. Cultural institutions such as the Norton Museum of Art, the Kravis Center for the Performing Arts, and the waterfront amphitheater anchor the city’s artistic identity, while the GreenMarket and Clematis Street bring year-round energy and community spirit.

Beyond downtown, West Palm Beach is defined by its charming historic districts—including El Cid, Prospect Park, and Flamingo Park—where Mediterranean Revival, Mission, and mid-century homes line leafy streets. The waterfront along South Flagler Drive offers miles of picturesque walking and biking paths with sweeping views of Palm Beach, the yacht basin, and the Intracoastal.

The city continues to evolve with new luxury residential developments, emerging neighborhoods, and an influx of high-end dining, wellness, and boutique retail. Just across the bridges from Palm Beach, residents enjoy effortless access to the island’s beaches, golf, world-class shopping, and private clubs—while benefiting from the vibrant, urban, and increasingly sophisticated lifestyle that West Palm Beach uniquely provides.
