Central to downtown West Palm Beach

In the heart of West Palm Beach, the Palm Beach Lakes South neighborhood takes shape -- a triangle to be specific. This triangle contains homes for year-round dwellers, shopping centers on the western and southern sides of the triangle, a private high school and a few apartments and condos. “The main reason people move here is because it is central,” says Clemenceau Jeanite, a real estate broker at Clemcole Realty Investment with 17 years of experience. “It’s right in the heart of everything.” Downtown West Palm Beach is only two miles to the east, and several shopping centers are within walking distance of the neighborhood.

Classic pastels close to West Palm Beach

Most homes here are classic Florida ranch-style with split-bedroom plans. And while they are close to neighbors, they are not squeezed into lots right next to each other. There are a few Airbnb homes in the neighborhood, so there can be visitors. “It’s a very walkable, bikeable area as well,” Jeanite says, referring to the sidewalks and quiet streets. Homes in the area are usually around $350,000-$500,000. Condos in this neighborhood are about $150,000-$250,000 with $727 monthly HOA fees.
