Art blossoms in Royal Poinciana
The arts are blossoming in the South Florida neighborhood of Royal Poinciana, a community as vibrant as the flowering tree for which it’s named. The neighborhood is within walking distance of Lake Worth Beach’s revitalized downtown, a compact hub of art galleries, local eateries and charming boutiques on Lake Avenue. Even closer to home is the Benzaiten Center for Creative Arts, which opened here in 2015. Administrative assistant Deborah Veres says the nonprofit promotes local and upcoming artists. “We have visiting artists coming from Tampa and St. Pete to use our space,” she says. “There’s definitely a strong community of artists here.”
The Royal Poinciana Tree can be found growing throughout the neighborhood.

The homes add pops of color, too. Vintage cottages and shotgun-style options flaunt bright pink, blue and orange exteriors on modest, densely set lots.

The neighborhood also features various multifamily properties developed between the 1980s and early 2000s. Condo, duplex and triplex units typically range from around $150,000 to the high $300,000s.

A speakeasy in Downtown Fort Worth Beach
El Pueblo Chapin Restaurant is a neighborhood favorite for its authentic Guatemalan cuisine. At Matthews Brewing Company, local musicians perform in the Beer Garden. Downtown, the speakeasy at Lilo’s Streetfood & Bar is easy to miss, but its Art Deco ambiance and signature cocktails make it hard to forget. As for day-to-day shopping, Publix and Supermercados El Bodegon are nearby. And while one might not think to look under an Interstate 95 overpass for fresh produce, that is precisely where The Lake Worth High School Flea Market takes place every weekend from 5 a.m. to 3 p.m.

Home to Lake Worth’s booming art scene
Royal Poinciana is home to much of Lake Worth Beach’s art scene, boasting several galleries and studios. Hatch 1121 is known as the “Great Wall of Artists” thanks to the gallery’s exterior mural. The Benzaiten Center for Creative Arts allows artists and amateurs alike to use its equipment while resident artists teach classes and workshops on glass blowing, welding and casting for all ages. In fact, it’s the largest glass-blowing hot shop in the state of Florida. “Every year, we bring in hundreds of students to experience working with hot glass for free,” Veres says. “We’ve had over 7,000 children pass through the doors over the last nine years.”
