Palm Beach is a barrier-island municipality (Town of Palm Beach) separate from the adjacent City of West Palm Beach. About 18 miles long + 1 mile wide. Founded as the original American winter-resort destination by Henry Flagler in the 1890s. The town has actively resisted commercial development + multifamily construction for 100+ years.

Pricing breaks into distinct tiers: Estate Section (ocean-to-lake parcels, $20-100M+), North End (smaller historic homes, $5-25M), south Estate Section (less density, similar to north Estate). Condo product limited; the town zones aggressively against high-density development.

What makes it distinctive

Things that move the needle.

Town-level architectural code

Town of Palm Beach has its own building dept + code. Major renovations subject to strict review. New construction in the Estate Section often takes 2-4 years from purchase to occupancy due to permit complexity.

Worth Avenue + private clubs

Worth Avenue is the retail district + an attraction in itself. Private clubs (The Bath & Tennis, Everglades, Sailfish, Mar-a-Lago) are central to year-round social fabric.

Hurricane + flood

Barrier island; storm surge + wind. Insurance premiums extremely high. Many Estate Section homes carry $100K+/year combined wind + flood premiums.
