Tropic Palms is close to the beach, and Turnpike for easy access.
Coastal living with easy access to downtown Delray Beach
Tropic Palms is a residential and commercial neighborhood with easy access to the surf and the city. Downtown Delray Beach’s vibrant Atlantic Avenue, just 3 miles away, is one of the more popular streets in South Florida thanks to its collection of upscale restaurants and eclectic boutiques. Similarly, Atlantic Dunes Park is just a short drive across the Intracoastal Waterway. Residents can retreat from their outdoor adventures to a collection of single-family or multifamily housing options on palm-tree-lined streets. With Interstate 95 running parallel, the neighborhood is well-connected to other city centers and international airports. “Location is the biggest factor,” says Matt Campbell, local Realtor with Beachfront Properties. “If you want to be close to downtown Delray Beach and Atlantic Avenue, this is the best neighborhood that’s east of I-95 with a reasonable price point.”
There is no shortage of upscale restaurants in downtown DelRay Beach, near Tropical Palms.
Close shops and restaurants with downtown Delray nearby
Tropic Palms is a short distance from Delray Beach’s vibrant commercial areas. The Delray Crossing Shopping Center borders the neighborhood and offers name-brand retailers like Target, Homegoods and Home Depot. Grocery options nearby include Trader Joe’s, Publix and Whole Foods. Atlantic Avenue and its collection of upscale restaurants, eclectic shops and local art galleries are nearby. “There’s no less than 50 really nice restaurants,” says Campbell. “Walkability is as good as it gets. You can walk from the beach all the way to Atlantic Avenue and Swinton Avenue.” The avenue is lined with palm trees, luxury cars and pedestrians looking to pop into local favorites like City Oysters & Sushi Bar or Rocco’s Tacos & Tequila Bar. The Cornell Art Museum at Old Square and the Blue Gallery highlight creative exhibitions from local artists, while bars like Tin Roof keep the party going well into the night with weekly live music.
Live music on Atlantic Avenue
Art & Jazz on the Avenue is Delray Beach’s signature street event. The popular gathering occurs four times a year and features an evening full of live music, live mural art and dancing in the street. The event began in the 1990s and has garnered a dedicated following ever since. Other popular events include the First Friday Art Walk and the weekly Delray Green Market.
Well maintained ranch style homes are found in the residential area of Tropic Palms.
Florida ranch homes and Spanish Revivals
Like the rest of Florida, the neighborhood has a variety of architectural styles ranging from classic Florida Ranch homes with pastel exteriors to Spanish Revivals with red-tiled roofs. Housing dates to the 1970s, but numerous properties have been renovated or completely rebuilt since. “It’s a well-maintained community with no HOA, so you get some expressions and variability in the houses,” Campbell says. Waterfront homes are available on the neighborhood’s southern side and feature docks with Intracoastal access. Well-manicured lawns and towering palm trees are typical in the front, while most residences have backyard swimming pools. Single-family home prices range between $650,000 and $900,000, although some waterfront builds can top $1 million. Tierra Verde at Delray Beach Condominium and The Atlantic at East Delray are multifamily options. Condos and townhouses cost between $250,000 and $500,000.

The Delray Swim & Tennis Center is operated by the city and offers a medium-sized swimming pool and numerous tennis courts. Leon M. Weeks Environmental Preserve features walking trails that wind through Florida’s natural scrub pinelands.
