West Palm Beach

West Palm Beach  serves as Palm Beach County’s administrative center and bears much historic significance as the oldest municipality in South Florida.   West Palm Beach, Florida is anything but antiquated; its bustling downtown area and thriving arts and culture make the area perfect for potential homeowners looking for a more urban lifestyle.

Still, while it’s vibrant and dynamic, the city has retained a measure of Old Florida charm. The area was developed by oil magnate and Palm Beach visionary, Henry Flagler and its location provides magnificent views of the Atlantic Ocean and various waterways, as well as access to many beautiful green spaces and parks, perfect for meandering and communing with nature.
