Palm Beach questions
- What kinds of homes are available in Palm Beach?
- Palm Beach offers ocean-to-lake and in-town estates, landmarked Mediterranean and regency residences, and a limited supply of condominiums along South Ocean Boulevard and near Worth Avenue.
- Is Palm Beach the same as West Palm Beach?
- No. Palm Beach is a barrier-island town; West Palm Beach is the mainland city across the Intracoastal Waterway, with its own downtown, waterfront and historic districts.
- Why does Palm Beach have architectural review?
- The town's landmark and architectural review process protects the island's historic scale and materials, which is a primary reason its streetscapes have remained consistent for a century.
