Work hard and play hard in one of South Florida’s most exciting communities

Beach Coastal Ocean Bike-Friendly Live Music Events Golf Nightlife Culture Airport

West Palm Beach puts the excitement and extravagance of South Florida in your lap without the exorbitant price tag. It’s a great community for folks who like to stay active: The Lake Trail offers a chance to ride a bike through a scenic route lined by majestic trees, historic mansions (including Henry Flagler’s Sea Gull Cottage), and the Intracoastal Waterway.

The nightlife along Clematis Street and at the CityPlace complex provides enough variety to ensure that there are always plenty of options for your after-hours adventures. Numerous performance venues and music festivals bring an eclectic roster of concerts to the community; SunFest in particular attracts major touring act and regularly draws hundreds of thousands of fans to the waterfront every spring. For a more intimate and refined experience, catch a performance by the Palm Beach Pops or the Miami City Ballet at the Kravis Center. And while West Palm Beach doesn’t technically include any oceanfront property of its own, nowhere in town is more than a couple of minutes away from the surfside beaches of Palm Beach proper.
