Living in West Palm Beach

Waterfront downtown and Palm Beach County’s new-construction center

West Palm Beach faces the Town of Palm Beach across the Lake Worth Lagoon. Flagler Drive runs along the water past the Great Lawn and downtown, where Clematis Street and Rosemary Square bring restaurants, shops and nightlife, and the Norton Museum of Art and the Kravis Center anchor the arts.

Most of the county’s new luxury condominiums are rising here — on North and South Flagler Drive and downtown — alongside established Intracoastal buildings and historic neighborhoods such as Northwood and El Cid. Palm Beach International Airport and the Brightline station make it the county’s most connected city.
