The iconic homes and winter estates of the seasonal residents which have kept the Island of Palm Beach in the forefront of most prestigious, exciting and desirable locations set the stage for a winter escape that is second to none.
Additionally, the year-round appeal has also brought an ever growing number of full time residents. Sprawling estate properties span the distance from ocean to lake. Lavish and manicured landscaping lend the area its sophisticated look and create an enclave of tranquility.
Set amongst these parcels of prime Palm Beach estates are the Bath and Tennis Club, built by Edward F. Hutton; the famed Mar-a-Lago club, former home to Marjorie Merriweather Post; and Everglades Island, which overlooks not only the beautiful Lake Worth Lagoon, but also offers stunning views of the Everglades Golf Course. With the convenience to town, the Estate Section of Palm Beach Island is an ideal location if you are in search of the perfect Palm Beach Home, with a wide variety of oceanfront, lakefront, ocean to lake and in between.
Many will agree that the number one rule in real estate, location, location, location, applies to all of Palm Beach. Set in the center of Palm Beach Island, In-Town, or Mid-Town, offers elegant Palm Beach Island homes and prized condos. The proximity of Worth Avenue to these properties ensures that the area is highly desirable for its superb shopping and dining. Historical walking tours of Worth Avenue emphasize that this hub of luxury has a long tradition of style and grandeur.
Worth Avenue provides a lively atmosphere, hosting events ranging from the Wine and Food Festival to the annual Pet Parade. Recently, the Royal Poinciana Plaza or “The Royal” have also greatly added to this area’s appeal with an additional wide array of boutiques, specialty stores, and restaurants. There are many more attractions to consider in this area, such as the Henry Flagler Museum and The Society of the Four Arts with the variety of cultural events that it offers.
Royal Palm Way, often referred to as “Bankers Row,” houses world-renowned commercial tenants ranging from international and national financial companies and banks to numerous professional services. The Town Docks can also be found in this section of the island.
To many, the North End offers a most relaxing Island lifestyle. With a mix of large Palm Beach Oceanfront Estates and smaller homes, the area serves a wide range of price points. Ending at the Palm Beach Inlet, the North End remains less traveled, creating an almost suburban area compared to the central parts of the island. The beaches of the North End are beautiful, and many of them house elaborate, tropical beach cabanas perfect for oceanfront entertaining.
Another great outdoor amenity of this area is the Palm Beach Bike Trail which stretches from the middle of the island up to its northern tip. The trail runs along the lake, providing great views and many outdoor activities.
