Palm Beach

One of the world’s wealthiest enclaves, a place of wealth and sunny leisure for the “snow birds”

Welcome to Palm Beach


The original resort destination of the elite


Palm Beach, “The Island,” playground of the rich and famous, is what got this whole place started. It’s where Standard Oil tycoon Henry Morrison Flagler built his first hotel in 1893, and eventually his mansion, opening up the entire region to development. Local lore has it Palm Beach got its name when coconuts washed ashore from a 19th Century shipwreck.

Palm Beach life is increasingly year-round, but is still primarily dominated by “The Season,” when many northerners, often wealthy, often from New York, New Jersey, Pennsylvania, and many other points north, move down for the best weather months of the year – roughly Thanksgiving to Easter. Due to this, Palm Beach real estate has increased significantly throughout the past few years.

Real Estate in Palm Beach 


The Island essentially has two waterfronts: First, the properties lining the Atlantic Ocean possess sunrise-over-the-water views, and are considered among the most desirable properties in the world. Yet the island's west side beautifully runs along the gorgeous Intracoastal Waterway, offering world-class sunset views over West Palm Beach.

Palm Beach’s long list of trophy properties is such that a $50 million purchase wouldn’t land you anywhere near the island’s Top 10. A recent Palm Beach Daily News article found 33 billionaires on the Forbes 400 with ties to the island.

The most influential architecture, sometimes referred to as “The Palm Beach Style,” was pioneered by Gilded Age architect Addison Mizner, who designed 67 structures on the island between 1919 and 1924 that suggest Mediterranean influences with added touches of romance and glamour. 

Today, “The Island,” as Palm Beach is often referred to, is one of the world’s wealthiest enclaves, a place of wealth and sunny leisure for the “snow birds,” residents who come down from colder climates in the winter. Together with permanent retirees and others who have decided to make this paradise their full-time home, just under 9,000 live on the island. 

Real estate on Palm Beach can be divided into: North End and Mid-town.


North End – Real Estate


North End real estate features predominantly single-family homes on typically larger lots than Mid-town Palm Beach, with some smaller bungalows mixed in. In addition to historic estates, there are new construction homes mixed in with  numerous oceanfront homes and lakefront homes with private boating docks.

Mid-town – Real Estate

Additionally, Mid-town living is that much closer to the shopping, restaurants, and town life of the island.
