West Palm Beach Real Estate
West Palm Beach is the oldest city in Palm Beach County, and also the most populous. Sprawling out over 58 sq. miles, it is home to over 100,000 residents. This waterfront community has a vibrant downtown with numerous historical districts, and even participates in the diplomatic international Sister City program. The city provides a number of entertainment attractions, with a zoo, a waterpark, and a performing arts center. West Palm Beach has its own international airport, and is within a short drive to any of the major four professional sport arenas. The palm-lined streets throughout the tranquil suburbs outside of downtown help the country club vibe that exists outside of the downtown area.
West Palm Beach Neighborhoods
Bay Hill Estates
Bay Hill Estates is a wonderfully sprawled out community in the heart of West Palm Beach. With two separate gated communities containing either ½ or one acre lots per home, residents can escape the densely populated neighborhoods downtown while still being close to numerous shops/fine dining. In keeping the theme of a tranquil and pleasant environment, Bay Hill Estates provides miles of walking paths that weave along the many lakes and canals that flow through the neighborhood. These gated communities have 24-hour security and full time maintenance of the common gardens included in the low POA fees, and even boasts its own PGA National golf course.
Bear Lakes
Bear Lakes is a gem of a country club in the heart of West Palm Beach. The club offers 36 holes of Jack Nicklaus architected golf courses, and it doesn’t stop there; enjoy some tennis or cool off in the Olympic size pool, and the club proves to be the perfect venue to plan your special occasions like a wedding. With easy access to the beach, major highways, and the Palm Beach International Airport, Bear Lakes is a great location for comfortable living.
Briar Bay
Briar Bay is one of the most desirable private communities in West Palm Beach. These five gated neighborhoods of Liberty Bay, Liberty Isles, Sail Harbour, The Tides, and Waters Edge offer a number of single-family homes, condominiums and town-homes. The residents of Briar Bay have access to a state of the art gym, an over-sized pool, lakes and parks with walking paths, and 24 hour security at the gates. Cove I and Cove II, while not in the gated community, are also integral parts of Briar Bay.
