West Palm Beach is Palm Beach County's downtown: a waterfront city on the Intracoastal with Clematis Street, CityPlace, the Norton Museum of Art, the Kravis Center and Brightline all close together. Housing runs from downtown condos and new towers to historic bungalows and waterfront estates, at prices that are lower on average than Jupiter or Palm Beach Gardens.
Clematis Street and CityPlace keep the restaurants, bars and shops busy year-round, and the West Palm Beach GreenMarket fills the waterfront every Saturday from October through May. Flagler Drive's waterfront path runs along the Intracoastal, and the Norton Museum of Art, Kravis Center and Ann Norton Sculpture Gardens round out one of the strongest arts scenes in Florida. Read our guide to living in downtown West Palm Beach and the up-and-coming Nora District.
Downtown towers like One Flagler, South Flagler House and Olara Residences bring new luxury condos to the waterfront, while historic neighborhoods like Flamingo Park and El Cid offer 1920s and 1930s homes on tree-lined streets close to downtown. Condo buyers should review each association's reserves, assessments and rental rules; see West Palm Beach condos that allow rentals.
West Palm Beach sits at the center of the county's finance boom. Wells Fargo is moving its Wealth & Investment Management headquarters to One Flagler, and ServiceNow plans to open offices at 10 CityPlace in 2028 with more than 850 jobs. Our Wall Street South guide covers the bigger picture.
