NEIGHBORHOOD SPOTLIGHT: IN-TOWN
In-Town real estate is often sought after, due to its close proximity to Worth Avenue, the Breakers Hotel, Royal Poinciana Way (the Town’s historic Main Street) and the plethora of social and cultural events that come along with these iconic locations. Whether it’s a lecture series at the Society of the Four Arts, lunch date at Café Boulud, or a sneak peak inside Pan’s Garden at the Preservation Foundation, In-Town is the perfect destination for anybody who wants to be in the center of all the action.

NEIGHBORHOOD SPOTLIGHT: SOUTH OF WORTH
If a little more privacy is your style, consider searching for a property located South of Worth in the Estate Section. Here residents enjoy estate homes on larger lots. This neighborhood feels like a secluded tropical oasis from the bustling town center, though in reality it is just a short 3 to 7 minutes away. If you have an eye for beautiful landscaping, South of Worth neighborhood shows off one beautiful garden after another. No sense trying to peek through the hedges in this neighborhood, privacy is king here. It’s a favorite area for those in search of a “larger footprint” property or historically significant property.

NEIGHBORHOOD SPOTLIGHT: NORTH END
The north end of Palm Beach begins at Wells Road and extends to the island’s northernmost tip – the Palm Beach Inlet. This location can be a boaters’ paradise with private dockage opportunities at your property. The island is typically one or two blocks wide on the north end, thus residents have the beautiful turquoise beach at the east end of their neighborhood block and the bike trail at the west end. The north end invites a more laid back lifestyle and affords both smaller and larger property opportunities. Private and shared cabanas dot the beach where residents are often found talking over coffee, sunset cocktails and/or a dog walk. Many residents enjoy street-legal golf carts for local recreational transportation. It is an idyllic spot for outdoor enthusiasts who enjoy biking on the lake trail, walking (with or without Fido) on the beach, surfing, paddle boarding, kite surfing, snorkeling, fishing, and other aquatic adventures.
