South End is a sliver of West Palm Beach that’s picked up the moniker “SoSo” among some locals, a play on the neighborhood’s location. "This area is nicknamed ‘SoSo,’ which is shorthand for South of Southern because it begins at Southern Boulevard and runs south to the canal that separates West Palm Beach from Lake Worth Beach,” says local broker Jefferson Kiely of Kiely Real Estate, whose office is in the neighborhood. However, it’s safe to say there’s not much that’s “so-so” about this place. This community is right by the Intracoastal Waterway and features a loaded list of restaurants and other commercial amenities. Buyers have an eclectic mix of homes to choose from, too, from classic to contemporary. It's a popular and growing area, Kiely says.

Flagler Drive a beacon for outdoor fun
The water is a constant pull in this area. South End is adjacent to the Intracoastal Waterway where it runs between the mainland and Palm Beach Island. Outdoor fun here can be as simple as a trip to the community’s easternmost thoroughfare, enjoying the views while strolling under the palm trees. “People love walking up and down Flagler Drive,” says Jeremy Lu, a local Realtor and partner at the Tom Davis & Jeremy Lu Group and a West Palm Beach resident. “A lot of people, if they want to go to the beach, hop over to the island because it’s so close.” Indeed, spots like Municipal Beach on the island are just a few miles away, a quick trip across the Bingham Island Bridge. This spot is loaded with plenty of soft sand, by the area’s rich blue-colored waters. Fishing at the Bingham Island Audubon Preserve, near the bridge, is also an option. And those who want to stay on the mainland can enjoy an afternoon at South Olive Park, where the kids can cool off under the castle-themed splash pad.

South End homes run the gamut
This area comes with not just waterside flair but also suburban comfort. The residential streets that make up the majority of South End provide a tranquil atmosphere to live in, partially shaded by palm trees and lined by sidewalks in many cases. The homes themselves can suit a range of tastes, whether one wants a 1930s Mediterranean-style option with a stucco facade and terracotta roof or a sleek contemporary house built recently. “You get a good taste of everything,” Lu says. Another aspect of South End’s appeal, Lu says, is that the area offers the freedom to alter existing properties and develop new ones without some of the restrictions that can come with historic architecture. “I think a lot more houses are going to be redeveloped,” Lu says. Still, price tags here begin as low as the high $400,000s, contrasting with Palm Beach across the bridge, where it can be hard to find a single-family home for less than several million. Numbers in South End can creep up into that territory, reaching eight figures for properties by the water.

Locals can celebrate Greek culture right in their backyard
Those in South End have a front-row seat to a long-running area tradition: the Saint Catherine Greek Festival. This event, which takes place over three days along Southern Boulevard, dates back to 1975 and is filled with all manner of Greek food and wine, vendors with imported art and wares, and live music and dance performances. Also, this area has an active South End Neighborhood Association, which backs programming including an annual holiday party in December at South Olive Tennis Center, by South Olive Park. “Everybody knows everybody, for the most part,” Lu says of the neighborhood. The neighborhood’s crime score is just slightly above the national average, according to the CAP Index.
Route 1 is a hub of activity
U.S. Route 1, also dubbed South Dixie Highway, places myriad restaurants, shops and more within walking distance for many. “Shopping is abundant along South Dixie Highway with everything you need from home décor to professional services and stylish boutiques,” Kiely says. Shops range from a balloon store dubbed Airplane Balloons to The Spark Boutique, a women’s clothing store. The Spark neighbors Aioli, one of Lu’s favorite spots to grab a bite to eat. “For lunch, Aioli is somewhere we go very often,” Lu says. “It’s a great place for lunch, packed every single day. Line out of the door.” Don Ramon Restaurante Cubano up the road is very popular, too, Lu says — liked not just for its Churrasco steak but also for its live piano music. And Aioli is across the street from the Shoppes At Palm Coast Plaza, home to Winn-Dixie, where locals can grab groceries and other essentials.
