Luxury Waterfront Living Meets a Tropical Urban Lifestyle
Downtown West Palm Beach offers an exciting blend of luxury real estate, new construction and tropical urban living along Florida’s Intracoastal Waterway. Contemporary residences rise among palm-lined streets, waterfront promenades, restaurants, shops, arts and entertainment — creating a sophisticated city lifestyle with the relaxed outdoor atmosphere of the Palm Beaches.
From Flagler Drive and historic Clematis Street to CityPlace, Downtown West Palm Beach is increasingly attracting buyers who want the convenience and energy of urban living without giving up the water, sunshine and outdoor lifestyle South Florida is known for.
Just across the Intracoastal Waterway is Palm Beach Island, home to beautiful Atlantic Ocean beaches, Worth Avenue, historic landmarks, legendary resorts and some of the world’s most prestigious residential addresses. Brightline rail service and nearby Palm Beach International Airport add another level of convenience for residents and visitors.
