Industrial site near Palm Beach International Airport

In the shadow of Palm Beach International Airport, flanked by industrial buildings, is the suburban neighborhood of Royal Palm Estates. “This is a blue-collar area, and it’s in demand because of the convenience of Southern Boulevard, halfway between the turnpike and I-95,” says Yanil Espinal, a Realtor with Treasure Property Group LLC. “It’s just 10 minutes from the beaches, too.” In the eastern part of the neighborhood, close to the airport, there are large storage facilities. The western part of the neighborhood has a Home Depot Distribution Center and a window installation company factory.

Mounts Botanical Garden a neighborhood staple

Mounts Botanical Garden has been a mainstay in the neighborhood for over 40 years. Along the winding, shaded paths are over 7,000 species of tropical and subtropical plants, such as roses, cacti and fruit trees. November through June is the prime time for the garden space to be used as a wedding venue. Dogs are welcome to walk in the garden on the second Sunday of each month. Owners are advised to bring water, treats and doggie disposal bags. While smaller than the botanical garden, Haverhill Park has plenty of space for recreation, providing plenty of parking spaces close to basketball, tennis and pickleball courts and a playground. A walking trail has periodic exercise stations to make sure an entire workout can happen. Caroline Park has a small playground and one basketball goal.
