About West Palm Beach

With a population of approximately 100,000, West Palm Beach features all the cultural and entertainment amenities of a larger city, while still keeping the feel of a more relaxed coastal town.

West Palm Beach is located on a barrier island directly across Lake Worth Lagoon from the adjacent Palm Beach. It is located approximately 68 miles north of downtown Miami and is easily accessible by Interstate 95 and the Florida Turnpike. Once in town, the North Dixie Highway on US Route One is the main thoroughfare through the city.

The area is serviced by the Palm Beach International Airport, which is less than 5 miles away. While the airport is small, it is serviced by most major North American and regional airlines.

With over six million visitors a year to the area, West Palm Beach has a booming economy and job market. And, coupled with Florida’s lack of state income tax, it is a great location to start a business or make a fresh start.

West Palm Beach benefits from a large Gulfstream, bringing a warm underwater river up from the Gulf of Mexico. This warmer water affects the local climate nicely, with balmy winters and cool evenings after afternoon rains.

Condo properties feature bright, spacious layouts with well-designed kitchens and private balconies. Many complexes feature luxurious common areas, courtyards, and gardens, and include pools, spas, and gyms.

Single-family homes are primarily bungalow-style, with Key West, Caribbean, and Mediterranean stylings. Floor plans feature open kitchens and living areas, as well as lushly landscaped yards, often with outdoor entertainment areas as well. Whether you are looking for a brand-new property, turn-key vacation investment, starter home, or renovation opportunity, you will find what you are looking for in West Palm Beach.
