alm Beach County and the Treasure Coast have been adapting rapidly to an influx of new residents. High-speed rail now connects through Palm Beach County from Miami to Orlando. Soon the service will add a stop in Stuart.

Palm Beach County is the epicenter of a building and business boom sweeping the East Coast of the Sunshine State. Corporate headquarters have been relocated to our warmer climate and manufacturing has been on an upswing with hundreds of jobs added in recent months.

But people come here for more than just the solid employment opportunities. Great schools, from public to private and pre-K to post-graduate, as well as continuing education provide residents plenty of learning options at every age. Vanderbilt University is planning a new business school campus in West Palm Beach and there are several university-level expansions underway. Housing options that include starter homes, spacious family homes, condos, and beachfront properties present all manner of choices for various needs and desires.

And employment opportunities in areas such as manufacturing, research and development, health care, and hospitality offer residents an abundance of potential for career advancement and mobility.

Cleveland Clinic recently announced a new hospital to be built servicing Palm Beach County.

New residential and office towers are going up in West Palm Beach and the skyline in Boca Raton is getting a lift with new condominium towers as well. Office and commercial space continues to expand north toward the Treasure Coast. And, new planned housing developments in St. Lucie and Martin counties promise affordable options for growing families on the move.

Need to get outdoors? Palm Beach County absolutely has you covered. Golf, tennis, sportfishing, pickleball, polo, boating,

watersports…all are available just minutes away, no matter where you live in the area. When you reside in Palm Beach County, you can never say there is “nothing to do.”

On the following pages, you’ll find information about where to live, shop, and dine as well as gain insight into local health care, education, transportation, and more. “City Spotlights” gives a detailed overview of many of the county’s cities and towns (as well as a few on the Treasure Coast).

After consulting this guide, it will become clear why so many people are choosing to make Palm Beach County and the Treasure Coast their destination of choice.

Welcome home! We’re glad you’re here.

alm Beach County has been a national leader in economic growth in a postpandemic world and is projected to remain that way well into the future. Palm Beach County saw private-sector employment increase by nearly 30,000 jobs over a 12-month period ending in July 2022. By 2029, it is expected to add more than 92,000 jobs, a growth rate of 13.9 percent, according to the Florida Department of Economic Opportunity.

With industries ranging from tech innovation to agriculture, a diverse workforce, an international port and airport, business and tax incentives, and a trusted public transit system, Palm Beach County sets the standard for business development. In fact, Chief Executive magazine rated Florida as the No. 2 best state for business for the eleventh consecutive year in 2022, due to the diversity of major industries and a dozen attractive business and tax incentives offered by the state, plus many others offered through counties.

Palm Beach County’s major industries include the traditional agribusiness and leisure industries that originally built the

Palm Beaches, a dynamic clean tech and high-tech sector, rapidly growing medical and life sciences components, plus aviation and aerospace technologies. The county is an increasingly popular location for corporate headquarters relocations.

During a 12-month period in 2020 and 2021, 31 companies relocated or expanded operations in Palm Beach County, resulting in a capital investment of $152.3 million, according to the Business Development Board of Palm Beach County. During a five-year period through 2022, capital investment was $777 million, and economic impact exceeded $6.87 billion. Nearly 13,000 jobs were created during this period with average salaries of nearly $70,000.

Tech-sector growth in Palm Beach County supports a high-tech/green energy/biosciences startup corridor between West Palm Beach and Deerfield Beach. As a result of the activity in this sector, salaries are on the rise in a region where the IBM personal computer was created. More than 1,700 information technology (IT), telecommunications, and support companies employ more than

20,000 professionals with an average wage of $78,928 to bolster a state ranked in the top five nationally in high-tech establishments, export of high-tech products, and high-tech employment. While Silicon Valley is still bestknown as a tech sector, the extravagant cost of living, crowded urban centers, high state sales taxes, and a personal income tax in California are driving software engineers and developers to other states.

Palm Beach County’s agribusiness has gone high-tech in this era. The county is a highly desirable location for businesses and job seekers because of its industry diversity: aviation/aerospace engineering and manufacturing; business and financial services; clean technology and energy; distribution and logistics; health care; private equity and hedge funds; information technology/telecom; life sciences; manufacturing; and equestrian and marine industries.

A DIVERSE WORKFORCE Palm Beach County provides businesses with a highly diverse and skilled talent pool.

alm Beach County residents enjoy an active, outdoor Florida lifestyle, and are focused on health and wellness. It is no surprise that the area has abundant resources for both young and old, with high-quality care from pediatrics to geriatrics.

Palm Beach County’s health care is primarily divided among three major hospital systems— Tenet Healthcare Corp., HCA Florida, and Palm Beach Health Network.

Many local institutions are focused on addressing challenging health care issues such as cardiovascular disease, stroke, cancer, Parkinson’s disease, Alzheimer’s disease, macular degeneration, and autoimmune diseases.

These are some of the partnerships and innovations that are advancing health care in Palm Beach County: * The Max Planck Florida Institute for Neuroscience offers the Max Planck Academy, a “one stop shop” for all levels of education: for high school and undergraduate students, post-baccalaureate, graduate, and postdoctoral scientists, and young and established research group leaders.

Located on Florida Atlantic University’s (FAU) John D. MacArthur Campus at Jupiter, FAU High School-Jupiter Campus in partnership with Max Planck Academy has become the 36

The FAU John D. MacArthur Campus at Jupiter also is home to: the Charles E. Schmidt College of Science, Brain Institute, Institute for Human Health and Disease Intervention, Jupiter Life Science Initiative, and one-of-akind Academy for Community Inclusion and Center for Autism and Related Disabilities. * The University of Florida (UF), the state’s flagship land-grant university, and Scripps Research have undertaken a 10-year, $1 billion public-private partnership called UF-Scripps, resulting in the Herbert Wertheim UF Scripps Institute for Biomedical Innovation & Technology in Jupiter. The UF Scripps campus will encompass more than 100 acres — a 30-acre campus in Palm Beach County that houses 360,000 square feet of research facilities, offices, and classrooms, and an adjacent 70-acre tract of land that will be developed. UF-Scripps also collaborates with FAU Jupiter programs. * The Florida International University (FIU) Center for Translational Science (formerly the Torrey Pines Institute for Molecular Studies) in Port St. Lucie is a state-of-the-art campus.

The focus of its research is human disease, specializing in researching inflammation, infection, and immunity; lung vascular and airway

disease; bionformatics; environment medicine; and mitochondria and metabolism. It is part of FIU’s robust focus on training the next generation of scientists and doctors.

South Florida’s hospitals are forwardthinking institutions that are constantly seeking to adopt technologies to benefit patents and communities. * Delray Medical Center in Delray Beach and St. Mary’s Medical Center in West Palm Beach offer an integrated neurosurgical technology using 3D tractography to visualize surgical paths within the brain. This allows surgeons to design minimally invasive surgeries for patients with deep-seated brain tumors or who have suffered from strokes. * Jupiter Medical Center plan to open the 90,000-square-foot Johnny and Terry Gray Surgical Institute in 2025 featuring 16 smart operating rooms to accommodate complex surgeries and two hybrid operating suites.

Jupiter Medical Center’s Anderson Family Cancer Institute is a state-of-the-art comprehensive cancer treatment center that brings together multidisciplinary medical, surgical, and radiation oncologists. * The renowned Hospital for Special Surgery — an academic medical center and research institution headquartered in New York City that specializes in the treatment of orthopedic

alm Beach, the island town, is often associated with the wealthy, past and present, including celebrities, captains of industry, and a few United States presidents.

Palm Beach, the county, is a more diverse affair, with communities that vary from the tony oceanside to urban centers to rural settings.

This variety offers living opportunities for a range of tastes and budgets, which is a major draw for new homeowners and renters.

The county’s population stands at almost 1.6 million, making it the fourth most populous county in Florida. Favorable tax rates (7 percent sales) and property tax exemptions, as well as zero state income tax, provide a thriftier alternative to northern high-tax states, such as New York and New Jersey.

But there’s more than money when it comes to Palm Beach County’s allure.

People from across the country—and world—seek out the region’s magnificent environment and bountiful activities, capped off by mild winters and plentiful sunshine.

Along the Atlantic coast, beaches are a great place to relax before hopping in the ocean to swim or surf. Plus, the water allows for boating, fishing, and diving.

There are many other ways to stay active, as well. The county has more than 160 golf courses and hosts championship tournaments. Tennis remains popular, but its cousin, pickleball, is a fast-growing alternative. Either way, there are countless courts for your choosing. The county features a variety of parks with everything from family playgrounds to technical hiking trails, freshwater fishing, and camping. For horse enthusiasts, Palm Beach is an equestrian county, with communities that cater to the lifestyle, and opportunities to enjoy rodeo events and polo matches. Entertainment, arts, and dining are also abundant across the county, offering ample diversions.

And for those who want to enjoy Palm Beach County on a permanent—or seasonal—basis, the next step is finding a place to live.

stunning sums some of them command. In 2024, the median price of a single-family home in Palm Beach County was $630,00a 5.5 percent increase over the median price in 2023 of $597,000. The average sales price of a home, however, was $514,264 (far lower than the $990,466 average in 2023). Active listings in Palm Beach County ended 2024 at 5,637, reflecting a 23.2 percent increase from 2023.

Total closed sales of single-family homes in Palm Beach County in 2024 dropped 4 percent but the total dollar volume increased 7.8 percent to $14.8 billion. An important metric is inventory—the number of properties marked as “active” on the market in addition to pending sales. Inventory rose 27.5 percent in 2024. These statistics hint that it’s a good time for buyers.

“When inventory increases, it means buyers gain more leverage in the market. They have more options to choose from, which can lead to more competitive pricing and negotiations,” says Jonathan Lickstein, 2025 president of Broward, Palm Beaches & St. Lucie Realtors.

A less expensive way to buy into the housing market is with the purchase of a townhome or

condominium. According to Broward, Palm Beaches & St. Lucie Realtors, the median price of a townhouse or condo was $320,000 in 2024—a slight increase of 3.2% over 2023.

Condos and townhouse closed sales were harder hit, decreasing 17 percent compared to 2023, with total dollar volume declining by 15.7 percent. Inventory for this segment of the market rose 47.5 percent year over year, ending with 7,287 condos and townhomes listed.

While this presents a wider array of options for buyers, it’s also the result of new condo laws in Florida that require milestone inspections and other mandates impacting assessments that condo owners are facing. However, the Florida legislature has been revisiting the new reforms to ease the burden on unit owners.

COMMUNITIES The county is filled with diverse cities and towns, stretching from the Treasure Coast in the north to Boca Raton in the south. In one town, you may find historic Art Deco homes from the 1920s, vintage ranch-style homes from the 1960s and ’70s, and modern condominiums, townhouses, and homes. Communities are

Gated and walled communities are popular, as well as lifestyle communities catering to equestrian activities, boating, 55-plus living, and more. (See “Lifestyle Communities” and “City Spotlights” for more details.)

EQUESTRIAN

There are many different types of equestrian communities, including those with horses onsite, those with horses off-site, and those with the elegance and extravagance of the equestrian world without equines. Florida has a deep history of being a playground for the wealthy, and South Florida has been a beacon for wealthy equestrians. Wide-open natural spaces are available with large green pastures, towering barns, and shady areas for horses and other large animals to graze. Residences can include show and boarding barns, as well as other equestrian accommodations. In Wellington, many homes are a stone’s throw from a barn. Large lot sizes, natural foliage, and miles of trails, in addition to horse parks and training rings, cater to the equestrian lifestyle.

EQUUS | BOYNTON BEACH equuscommunity.org

BOATING

Some of the world’s largest boat shows take place in Florida, a worldwide hub for boating and yachting. For those who want their own, personal access to the water, there are beautiful and private communities throughout Palm Beach County.

Many of these communities are located in Jupiter, Palm Beach, West Palm Beach, North Palm Beach, and Palm Beach Gardens. Whether it is the call of the Atlantic Ocean or the Intracoastal Waterway, the siren song of the sea is difficult to resist.

With access to the inlets, coastal barrier islands, or deep-water access by river or canal, there are plenty of luxurious communities to satisfy the desire to float away. Many of these communities have more docks than homes and include additional amenities such as dining venues, clubhouses, golf courses, fitness centers, and spas. Owning a boat is not a requirement to live on the water and enjoy the scenic waterways, rivers, lakes, and canals that South Florida has to offer.

White Fences in Loxahatchee is near Lion Country Safari and Twentymile Bend. Nestled in the heart of the large-lot community is the White Fences Equestrian Center, which offers boarding options as well as five regulation-size dressage rings, 16 paddocks, schooling, USEF-

cross the Intracoastal Waterway from West Palm Beach lies the town of Palm Beach. This exclusive enclave on a barrier island hardly needs an introduction, but its well-known name belies a small, familyfriendly town that lays claim to only 9,200 full-time residents and an additional 20,000 who call it home during the winter season.

From its birth more than 120 years ago as a playground for the rich, the town honors the man with the original vision, Standard Oil founding partner Henry Morrison Flagler. His ambitious transportation system included the original railroad that brought goods and tourists from the Northeast to Palm Beach and the entire east coast of the state. As the town grew, it retained its small-town charm and much of the Mediterranean-style architecture made

famous in the 1920s by Addison Mizner. Visitors can tour the winter home of Flagler, now a museum, or stroll around the town soaking in the tropical European vibe of the well-preserved architecture.

Stretching from the Atlantic to the Intracoastal, a visit to Worth Avenue—one of the most iconic streets in the United States—is a must. Perhaps the most famous shop on the avenue is that of Lilly Pulitzer, whose comfortable, brightly colored, tropical cotton shifts came to epitomize ’60s-era Florida and the ease of affluent life in the tropics. Other venerable stores include Greenleaf & Crosby, Maus & Hoffman, and Saks Fifth Avenue.

The Royal Poinciana Plaza, affectionately called “The Royal” by locals, is home to popular dining spots, such as Palm Beach Grill and

Italian eatery Sant Ambroeus. They join an eclectic mix of 50 brands including Hermès, Veronica Beard, and Oscar de la Renta, as well as beauty and wellness services and Pilates studios.

On the opposite side of the street, in what was originally the center of town, Via Flagler

by The Breakers is a vibrant, Mediterranean Revival–style, mixed-use development boasting a restaurant operated by The Breakers Hotel.

It is also home to various shops and casual eateries flanking the charming vias that lead to courtyards where people gather and relax.

In Palm Beach—a town that can be walked in an hour—visiting five-star hotels such as The Breakers and rubbing elbows with the wealthy at a posh lounge are unique experiences that cannot be missed.

est Palm Beach is one of the oldest cities in South Florida, and the historic areas have a unique tropical ambience, combining the Spanish Colonial Revival influence of renowned 1920s architect Addison Mizner with the updated beauty of sleek contemporary buildings. The distinctive skyline is often photographed from the Intracoastal Waterway, and the city is instantly recognizable from the air as you fly into Palm Beach International Airport. From bohemian and artistic to trendy and modern, urban to upscale, West Palm Beach gives residents much more than balmy tropical weather. Its residents have created a city where people can walk, ride bikes, or push baby strollers, and everyone can explore a long list of things to do. There are two public transit systems: The Tri-Rail commuter train makes downtown easily accessible from surrounding communities, and the newest rail alternative, Brightline, puts downtown Miami just over an hour away.

The heart of West Palm Beach is the Arts and Entertainment District, with every cultural amenity one would expect in a major urban area, including Palm Beach Opera, Palm Beach Symphony, Ballet Florida, visiting musical acts, world-class museums such as the Norton Museum of Art, the regional theater Palm Beach Dramaworks, an active historical society, the Kravis Center for the Performing Arts, and much more.

The Square is at the geographic center of urban West Palm Beach. The European-style plaza and walkways are lined with shops and restaurants, and live entertainment fills the air with music Friday and Saturday evenings.

Clematis Street is the place to go for food, and a short walk will bring you to nearly every type of cuisine in the world, including local landmarks like Roxy’s Pub, where more than 60 beers are available on draft and a rooftop lounge provides an aerial view of the surroundings.

Life in West Palm Beach is all about the water,

WEST PALM BEACH

and the city has amenities that no other place can offer. With the Intracoastal Waterway and Atlantic Ocean to the east and Clear Lake and Magnolia Lake to the west, this is a water-activities paradise. Head down to the waterfront to rent a kayak or Jet Ski, take a snorkeling cruise, or go for a sunset sail on a 50-foot catamaran.

On Saturdays from October through April, walk down to the waterfront for the West Palm Beach Green Market, a pet-friendly event where you can buy farm-fresh produce and artisanal prepared foods.

In March, the Palm Beach International Boat Show draws thousands of boats from around the world. The waterfront is also the home of SunFest, Florida’s largest waterfront music and arts festival, attracting more than 100,000 visitors every spring for a celebration of sun, music, food, and fine arts. At Halloween, MoonFest takes advantage of the cool fall air with a costumed street party along Clematis Street.

LANTANA

T

he Town of Lantana is a coastal community in Palm Beach County that still retains the charm of its origins as an old Florida fishing village. Nestled along the coast of Palm Beach County and noted as one of the oldest communities in South Florida, it’s a great destination for vacationers and home seekers alike. When it comes to small-town charm, Lantana has it. Step foot inside any of the three square miles of Lantana and you’ll be greeted with a warm welcome.

Originally named after the gorgeous wildflower that grew in the area, Lantana was founded by Morris Lyman and incorporated in 1921. Pieces of Lantana’s history are found throughout town with nods to Lyman and the earlier settlers on various parks, buildings, and developments.

This hidden gem is home to cottage-style shops, a fishing pier, a two-acre boat-launching facility, a kayak park, and panoramic views of the Intracoastal, making it a destination for a day on the water, kayaking, picnicking, or simply watching boats go by. On a dazzling sunny day, Lantana Municipal Beach is the perfect place to warm your toes in the sand.

Ample parking, sand volleyball courts, picnic tables, and a children’s playground create the ideal setting to relax with family and friends, soak up the sun, and watch the clouds pass by.

Just steps from the beach, nature lovers can gather at the Lantana Nature Preserve. Once the town landfill, the land has now been shaped to create a beautiful native habitat for wildlife.

These 13 acres of nature sanctuary welcome bird watching and hiking alongside views of the Lake Worth Lagoon.

This unique coastal forest is home to zebra longwing butterflies, red fox, osprey, kestral, green heron, loggerhead shrike, and many more beautiful species of birds and small mammals.

Still need convincing? Lantana Nature Preserve has been named the “Best Hidden Preserve” by Florida Weekly.

The town also hosts an array of ways to get involved. Beach cleanups are a fun way to meet new friends and offer an opportunity to give back to the community. The town coordinates these cleanups to help protect the ocean and ecosystem—something the town puts an emphasis on in many different ways. The junior lifeguard program is offered to children interested in learning the responsibilities of ocean lifeguards. The program provides young men and women a sound aquatic background and acquaints them with the hazards of ocean swimming while exposing them to an environment that promotes courtesy, respect, discipline, sound morals, and good sportsmanship. For artist-minded people, the town has an exciting adopt-a-hydrant program, which lets the artist paint a fire hydrant as they wish. From simple stripes to elaborate landscaping, choose a design that fits your style and paint a piece of Lantana.

“Enjoy Lantana!” is a town-wide initiative to produce a variety of special events that provide unique year-round experiences for residents and tourists alike. Throughout each year, the community comes together for family-friendly movies at the beach, a concert in the park, Bark in the Park (an event for four-legged friends held at the town’s dog park), and a spectacular July 4th Celebration that features a colorful fireworks display. The “Enjoy Lantana!” lineup is rounded off with the Haunted Nature Preserve in October and a Winterfest Parade in December.

LAKE WORTH BEACH

L

ake Worth Beach (formerly Lake Worth) is a vibrant community at the intersection of form and function. It is an extraordinary place where tranquility meets creativity, where the sun shines bright and the ideas shine even brighter, where warm tropics meet hot topics, and where the power of potential turns every day into a blank canvas. This is not just a lifestyle; it is an art form.

The Atlantic Ocean and the broad waters of the Lake Worth Lagoon form the city’s east boundary, and the beautiful fresh waters of Lake Osborne sit west. Next door to Palm Beach, Lake Worth Beach is situated along the latitude, making it the northern-most point of the subtropics. Lake Worth Beach is truly the place “where the tropics begin.” It’s a dynamic, multicultural city with a strong social and environmental consciousness. People are drawn to the city by its independent character, acceptance of different cultures and lifestyles, many historic structures, hip downtown, and distinctive residential neighborhoods. The city has a rich history and is protective of its architectural fabric. More than 1,000 historic buildings contribute to the human scale and charm of the downtown and residential areas.

Myatt Murphy of Sky Magazine wrote: “Palm Beach County owns the phrase ‘Florida’s Cultural Capital’ for very good reason... Palm Beach County’s heart beats from a wide range of cultural opportunities, including music, dance, museums, and theaters.” Lake Worth Beach is the geographic and artistic center of Palm Beach County. The downtown area is considered its artistic soul, with a historic theater and museum, live music clubs, coffee houses, art galleries, antique malls, retail stores, and restaurants. It also is the site of the annual Street Painting Festival.

The Cultural Council for Palm Beach County is headquartered in historic downtown Lake Worth Beach. The Cultural Council is Palm Beach County’s official arts agency and serves nonprofit cultural organizations and professional artists throughout the county.

LULA Lake Worth Arts unifies the local art community around a shared vision and invests in partnerships that support the talent and creative community. The City of Lake Worth Beach supports the arts through public-private partnerships and long-term planning to promote the creative spirit.

The Lake Worth Playhouse, the oldest

building on the register of the Art Deco Society of the Palm Beaches, has provided nearly 70 years of excellence in the performing arts. The Duncan Theatre brings in top performances from across the United States and beyond.

For visual art connoisseurs and artists, the Lake Worth Art League presents many opportunities to see and purchase outstanding works of art by local artists at their gallery and outdoor art shows.

The City of Lake Worth Beach has supported the growth of the arts industry by dedicating two city-owned buildings and forming strategic alliances with the Benzaiten Center and Armory Arts Annex. Both projects also are the recipients of cultural facilities grants from the State of Florida.

The Benzaiten Center for Creative Arts is a fabrication space for local artists to create and it offers an extensive schedule of classes in glassblowing, flameworking, enameling, fused glass. There is also a metalworks studio capable of pouring 69,000 pounds of bronze each year. It is housed in a historic train depot.

The Armory Arts Annex recently opened in a renovated space offers gallery space and programming.

Juno Beach is a predominately residential seaside community whose vision is to have neighbors join together to share an exceptional quality of life. The Town of Juno Beach is a partnership of residents, businesses, and town staff creating a hometown atmosphere that emphasizes community involvement, cultural activities, and natural beauty. Fine oceanfront estates and condominiums provide

JUNO DUNES NATURAL AREA

an ideal setting for a vacation or permanent residence. With Juno Beach, activities range from sunbathing, swimming, and fishing to walking, jogging, and bicycling.

The Town of Juno Beach was incorporated in 1953 and is located approximately 14 miles north of West Palm Beach, which is the county seat of Palm Beach County. The town encompasses an area of 1.85 square miles. This unique town is an island with the Intracoastal Waterway to the west, the Atlantic Ocean to the east, Jupiter Inlet to the north, and Palm Beach Inlet to the south. Offshore there are Spanish wrecks dating back to the 1500s. The barrier island was created by the cutting of the Intracoastal Waterway. The waterway was dredged along the watershed of Old Lake Worth Creek and cut through Lake Worth in 1898.

The town has operated under the council-manager form of government since 1985. Policy-making and legislative authority are vested in a five-member town council.

The council is elected on a nonpartisan basis.

Councilmembers serve three-year staggered terms. The councilmembers are elected at large, and every year they select a mayor, vice mayor, and vice mayor pro tem. The town council is responsible, among other things, for passing ordinances, adopting the budget, appointing committees, and hiring both the

town manager and town attorney. The town manager is responsible for carrying out policies and ordinances of the town council, overseeing the day-to-day operations of the government, and appointing the heads of the various departments.

The town provides general municipal services such as police, planning and zoning, building, code enforcement, public works, storm water utilities, and cultural events. Fire services are provided by Palm Beach County. Utility services, such as water and wastewater, are provided by neighboring jurisdictions/agencies (Town of Jupiter, Loxahatchee River District, and the Seacoast Utility Authority).

The town has many special features that contribute to it being a wonderful place to live, such as the beach, Juno Beach Pier, Loggerhead Marinelife Center, environmentally sensitive lands, and the Town Center.

Why Juno Beach? Many benefits of being located within the Town of Juno Beach cannot be quantified by a dollar value, but they offer a higher quality of life that can be interpreted as priceless. Some of the benefits to calling the Town of Juno Beach your corporate headquarters (like Florida Power & Light and Tire Kingdom do) or home (like many yearlong and seasonal residents do) are stronger local government voice and superior police protection.

isted by Money magazine as one of the Top 50 Places to Live, the Village of Wellington is located in western Palm Beach County, sharing a southwestern boundary with the world-famous Florida Everglades.

In 1951, Wellington was purchased by successful accountant and New York investor Charles Oliver Wellington. Because of its close proximity to the Everglades, the area was prone to frequent flooding. In 1953, the Florida Legislature created the Acme Improvement District to provide drainage, water management, and infrastructure development in western Palm Beach County. Acme transformed the waterlogged land into fertile farmland. At one point, there were 2,000 acres devoted to strawberry plants, leading to claims that it was the world’s largest strawberry patch. Citrus groves also thrived in the area.

Wellington has come a long way since the 1950s. Located approximately 15 miles from downtown West Palm Beach and 12 miles from the Palm Beach International Airport, Wellington serves as a home base for many.

The community shares the convenience of both

urban living and easy access to breathtaking natural areas, preserves, and numerous outdoor activities.

The Village of Wellington is internationally recognized as the winter equestrian capital of the world and is an international destination for show jumping, dressage, and polo. Wellington is the home of the National Polo Center – Wellington and Wellington International, home of the Winter Equestrian Festival.

Today, this beautiful South Florida town boasts plenty of hometown charm with activities for people of all ages. With an abundance of parks, quality schools, attractive neighborhoods, and equestrian interests, Wellington maintains a high reputation. With several Palm Beach County A-rated schools, some offering specialty magnet programs, Wellington actively supports education.

estled in the heartland of the state close to Lake Okeechobee, Belle Glade is home to 17,000 residents. Legend has it that the town was so named because it was considered “the belle of the Glades.” Today, it is the largest city within the nearly three-millionacre subtropical Everglades. From its earliest days, agriculture has been a bedrock of the community, with celery, sugarcane, lettuce, and sweet corn the predominant crops.

An area known as “Indian Mound,” just west of the city, was an important Seminole excavation site—first by the Smithsonian Institution in the 1930s and later by the Florida State Museum. Incorporated as a town in 1928, with only 500 residents, Belle Glade is still the site of vital research. The University of Florida Everglades Research and Education Center is a field base for scientists and staff members who are researching soils, agronomy, entomology, water sciences, and horticulture, and overseeing 64

STUART

HISTORIC STUART DOWNTOWN BUSINESS ASSOCIATION downtownstuartflorida.com

VISIT FLORIDA

L

ong known as “The Sailfish Capital of the World,” Stuart was recently recognized as “America’s Happiest Seaside Town.” The recognition came as no surprise to residents of this quaint community of more than 19,000.

Stuart is widely recognized for its welcoming atmosphere and Old Florida charm.

Once home to pineapple plantations and flower farms, today Stuart occupies just over six square miles along the St. Lucie River in Martin County on Florida’s Treasure Coast. The city includes attractive residential neighborhoods, active townhome and condominium communities, and a vibrant historic downtown. Pristine, landscaped streets and skyscraper-free views helped Stuart earn the title “America’s Most Beautiful City” for its size in 2008, while the city’s “flip-flop chic” style sets a casual vibe for residents and visitors alike.

The U.S. 1 corridor houses major retailers and restaurants, while smaller business and cultural districts host unique independent businesses, boutiques, galleries, and gourmet eateries.

Walkable and bicycle-friendly, Stuart also offers golf cart–friendly neighborhoods. A solarpowered fleet of trams provides free service throughout the downtown and adjacent neighborhoods, connecting residents to Martin County public transportation. Nearby, miles of Atlantic Ocean beaches, golf courses, and nature preserves offer recreation from hiking and golfing to boating and paddleboarding.

A multitude of neighborhood and street-end parks extend tropical greenery throughout the city. Anchor parks include the newly redesigned Memorial Park on East Ocean Boulevard, the waterfront Flagler Park adjacent to City Hall on the St. Lucie River, and the unique barrier-free playground at Kiwanis Park on Colorado Avenue.

Another favorite recreation spot is the Riverwalk boardwalk running along the St. Lucie River from south of the Roosevelt Bridge to east of Colorado Avenue. Incorporating a floating public dock and a fishing area under the Roosevelt Bridge, the Riverwalk is a popular

place to stroll, fish, or enjoy the scenic waterfront. It is also home to the Riverwalk Stage and a multitude of events, including more than 50 free outdoor concerts every year.

Other popular events include the annual ArtsFest in Memorial Park, Dancin’ in the Streets (a summer block party and music festival), and the 58-year-old Stuart Christmas Parade—one of the longest- running lighted Christmas parades in the country. Stuart’s vibrant atmosphere has brought recognition from The Huffington Post as one of the “Top 10 Beach Towns in Florida,” Smithsonian magazine as the nation’s number-three “Best Small Town to Visit,” and House Beautiful as the number-

nine spot on the “50 Most Beautiful Small Towns in America” list.

Stuart—which is just 45 minutes north of Palm Beach International Airport—prioritizes education. City residents attend Julian D. Parker Elementary School, Stuart Middle School, and Martin County High School or a variety of private educational facilities. Martin Health System provides health care for city residents and the surrounding community. The city runs its own police department, fire department, and trash collection and operates a water-utility program that is recognized year after year as having the best-tasting water in the state by the Florida Rural Water Association’s Annual Conference.

RAILWAYS AND BUSES MAJOR ARTERIES The region’s two major controlled-access highways are located on Florida’s southeast coast. Interstate 95, a multilane freeway, runs the length of the East Coast. Florida’s Turnpike, a multilane divided toll road, spans 313 miles from Wildwood to Florida City. The Florida Department of Transportation makes navigating rush hours on these highways easier with electronic signboards that alert drivers about delays and road closures. Delays, emergency operations, and construction updates are also continually broadcast on the 1640 AM frequency. Motorist assistance on 70

Florida’s Turnpike is available 24 hours a day, 7 days a week by calling *347 (*FHP).

Other major north-south roads include State Road A1A, which hugs Florida’s eastern coast and acts as the “main street” for communities lining the barrier islands, and U.S. Highway 1, which runs from Key West to Maine. Hundreds of bridges crisscross the Palm Beaches’ waterways, including 20 drawbridges that span the Intracoastal. No tolls are charged, but the schedules of bridge openings vary.

Palm Beach County is serviced by Amtrak and the regional Tri-Rail, which runs northsouth from Mangonia Park to Miami. Tri-Rail runs trains every 30 or 60 minutes, depending on the hour, and every hour on weekends. Plus, the Downtown Trolley in West Palm Beach allows travelers to connect for free between the Tri-Rail station via its Green and Yellow lines. In addition, Brightline provides express train service that runs between Miami and West Palm Beach (via a stop in Fort Lauderdale) in just over an hour. Brightline continues on to Orlando International Airport.

FISHING Fishing ranks a close second to golf in popularity among residents and visitors alike, and there’s an abundant number of places to cast your line, regardless of whether you prefer saltwater or freshwater fishing.

Fishing the Atlantic Ocean off Palm Beach County’s shores provides a wide selection of opportunities to snag a prize saltwater catch. Anglers regularly reel in bluefish, blackfin tuna, cobia, dolphin, kingfish, and a variety of snapper. There’s also wahoo and sailfish that roam these waters, the latter of which provides an exhilarating experience and a chance to snap a keepsake photo. If you don’t own a boat, there are a slew of saltwater fishing charters/guides throughout the county.

Visit surfinggator.com for an extensive list. The Palm Beach Post’s sports section also regularly publishes the local fishing report, which is helpful in determining what is biting when and where.

If you prefer to stay closer to shore, you might snag a Spanish mackerel in the surf. Tossing your line from bridges or an inlet jetty can possibly bag you a jack, a snook, or a pompano if you’re lucky.

If freshwater fishing is more your thing, you owe it to yourself to spend a day on Lake Okeechobee, whose southeastern shoreline forms part of the western edge of Palm Beach County and is only about an hour’s drive from West Palm Beach. “The Big O,” as locals call it, is the best largemouth bass fishing lake in the state.

It’s the second-largest freshwater lake—next to Lake Michigan—contained entirely within the contiguous 48 states, so there are plenty of spots to anchor or just drift, or you could hire one of the local guides to lead you to the hot spots.

If fishing doesn’t tickle your outdoor fancy, no problem—there are also several recreational parks that offer an array of other outdoor activities, from biking paths to water skiing, all of which are at your beck and call 365 days a year, thanks to the county’s year-round tropical weather.

BIKING Fifteen of the 110 county parks have paved bicycle paths that provide a safe venue for cycling enthusiasts.

Three of them offer mountain bike trails for those who are looking for a more challenging or exuberant ride. Dyer Park in West Palm Beach has a 4.7-mile single-track perimeter trail and a 2.4-mile trail (called the “Hill”) built upon a former landfill that has been

converted into a winding-climbing trail—the only location in the South Florida region with appreciable climbs and descents. There are also single-track trails at Okeeheelee Park (3.2 miles) just west of West Palm Beach and West Delray Regional Park (2.5 miles) in Delray Beach.

CANOEING AND KAYAKING A wonderfully scenic paddling experience is the 7.6-mile stretch of the Loxahatchee River from Riverbend Park in Jupiter downstream to Jonathan Dickinson State Park. Whether you’re looking for a oneor two-hour kid-friendly trip or prefer to embark on an all-day adventure, the Loxahatchee offers a variety of options. And even if you rent a canoe or kayak, it’s a fun and inexpensive form of outdoor exercise. For more information, visit jupiteroutdoorcenter.com.

SURFING The Atlantic Ocean forms the entire eastern boundary of Palm Beach County, but it’s not always conducive for great surfing, especially during the summer months, unless there’s a tropical storm or hurricane brewing offshore. However, what it lacks in wave consistency, it makes up for in quality. When the waves are good, such as when winter low-pressure systems deliver fairly consistent groundswell toward the beaches, there are some great spots for surfers— most notably Reef Road, which is tucked away in the north end of the county’s richest real estate. Other sweet spots are just off the Jupiter Inlet and Juno Beach Pier. Check out surfline.com for the latest surf reports and live video web cams.

TENNIS Most of the local private country clubs have tennis courts, as do 12 of the county parks (go to discover. pbcgov.com/parks for locations). Nine courts are lighted. One of the nicest full-service public tennis facilities is the Delray Beach Tennis Center near bustling downtown Atlantic Avenue in the heart of the city. It has 14 clay courts, six hard-surface courts, and an 8,200-seat stadium and offers a variety of adult and junior programs, clinics, and camps. The center has hosted the Association of Tennis Professionals (ATP) World Tour’s Delray Beach Open for more than 25 years.

The sister property, Delray Swim & Tennis Club, has 24 clay courts. (delraytennis.com)

BOATING Navigating Palm Beach County by water is easy, thanks to the Atlantic Ocean’s 45 miles of shoreline, as well as boat access from four inlets and the Gulf Stream (only three miles offshore). The Intracoastal Waterway lies a short distance inland, with numerous marinas scattered along its route, including places where you can pull up to one of several restaurants that provide docking space for boaters looking for a bite to eat or a refreshing beverage.

For freshwater options, Lake Okeechobee forms part of the county’s western border and encompasses 488,000 acres. A handful of smaller inland lakes also provide boating opportunities, the largest being 540-acre Lake Mangonia. Some really great anchoring spots, according to floridamarineguide.com, are Peanut Island in Palm Beach County, across from Lake Worth Inlet, in front of Florida International University in Miami and across from Baker’s Haulover Inlet, and the anchorage in Boca Chica Harbor.

If you need a place to store your boat, the Palm Beach Yacht Club is a world-class marina in West Palm Beach, just a short distance from the Palm Beach/Lake Worth Inlet. It’s open to the public on a first-come, first-served basis and can accommodate yachts up to 150 feet, as well as sport fishing boats and sailing vessels.

If you don’t own your own vessel, the Palm Beach Boat Club offers a variety of membership plans and has a fleet of boats ranging from luxury motor yachts to center-console fishing boats and cabin cruisers.

For information on Boating Safety Education Requirements, registering your boat in Florida, and equipment requirements, contact the Florida Fish and Wildlife Commission at 850-488-4676.

T

here’s something here for every level of golfer, from lengthy challenging layouts to shorter executive courses and par-3 venues. While about 75 percent of the 150-plus golf courses are private, there is no shortage of public courses where everyone can play.

Some offer views of the Atlantic Ocean, the Intracoastal Waterway, or the Lake Worth Lagoon, providing a peaceful backdrop for your game.

Heading the list is PGA National Resort & Spa. Located in Palm Beach Gardens, the venue—which also currently serves as the headquarters for PGA of America—hosts the PGA Tour’s Honda Classic, which attracts many of the world’s top professional golfers. Four of PGA National’s five championship courses are ranked among the top 75 layouts in Florida by Golf Digest.

Designed by renowned architect Joe Lee, Abacoa Golf Club has one of the finest layouts among South Florida’s public golf courses. Located in the heart of a premier golf community— beautiful Jupiter, Florida—Abacoa combines the best in golf challenge, luxurious amenities, and tropical scenery. The course is challenging but fair to golfers of all skill and experience levels, and the greens are TifEagle grass and some of the highest-quality putting surfaces in all of Florida.

Abacoa Golf Club is one of the Florida golf courses that can boast about its unique elevation changes and is a true treat to play.

Another first-class private destination is The Breakers Ocean Course in Palm Beach. The oldest 18-hole golf course in Florida recently got a makeover by course designer Rees Jones himself, and its sister course, Rees Jones Course at Breakers West, is another wonderfully chal-

lenging layout.

Many of the private golf-centered clubs also offer other amenities, especially The Club at Ibis, a gated community in West Palm Beach that, in addition to three Nicklaus family–designed golf courses, includes a sports village, four dining venues, social and cultural activities, swimming, tennis, a fitness center, and a full-service spa.

There’s no course more picturesque than the Palm Beach Par-3, nestled between the Atlantic Ocean and the Intracoastal Waterway. Golf Digest rates it “one of the best par-3s you can play anywhere.”

Park Ridge Golf Course in Lantana is one of the more unique courses in the county because it was built over a former landfill and has more elevation changes than most courses in the area, topping out at 85 feet at its highest.

experience awaits at Osprey Point Golf Course in Boca Raton, in the southwestern corner of the county. It’s a natural wildlife habitat and one of only five Audubon International Classic Signature golf courses in the world. It features three nine-hole courses, and Golf Digest rates it among the top 50 courses in Florida.

At the northern end of the county is North Palm Beach Country Club, an 18-hole public layout that is one of the few Nicklaus Signature municipal courses in the United States. Many of the courses here have teaching pros. There is also John Prince Park Golf Learning and Practice Center in Lake Worth, in the central part of the county, that includes a four-hole mini-course.

Greens fees fluctuate throughout the year (with the summer months offering some great deals), but the sunshine and balmy ocean breezes are free year-round.

TIPS ON RESEARCHING

SENIOR COMMUNITIES

IF YOU ARE LOOKING FOR THE RIGHT PLACE FOR YOU OR YOUR LOVED ONEIN SOUTHWEST FLORIDA, BE PREPARED BEFORE YOU GET STARTED.

START YOUR RESEARCH EARLY Compare the senior communities in your area. Begin actively planning where you want to be today, before health problems develop. Determine the kind of lifestyle and health care options you want for yourself and narrow down your choices. Don’t feel rushed, but don’t procrastinate. Don’t be one of those people who end up saying, “I wish I hadn’t waited so long.”

DECIDE WHAT SERVICES AND AMENITIES ARE IMPORTANT TO YOU Make a list of services, amenities, and features that are important to you.

Remember: You are not just thinking about today but planning for your future.

VISIT AND TAKE NOTES Once you have narrowed down your choices, take tours. Can you visualize yourself living in this community?

How do the grounds look? Is the staff friendly? Is the environment clean, well-maintained, and nicely appointed?

ASK QUESTIONS Come prepared with a list of questions.

If you don’t ask questions, you won’t be able to make an informed decision.

You should feel certain that the staff is answering your questions and addressing your concerns.

EVALUATE THE FINANCIAL ARRANGEMENTS There are a variety of financial arrangements available. These might include rentals, equity, and entrance fees. Learn the pros and cons of each. Understand what is included and what is “extra.”

UNDERSTAND THE HEALTH CARE COMPONENT What levels of care are available? Does the staff seem caring and professional?

Are there activities for the residents who are receiving care? What is the community licensed to provide, and what are the costs should care be needed? This is a very important part of your research.

MEET THE RESIDENTS Can you envision the residents as your neighbors?

DINE AT THE COMMUNITY The more you can experience the lifestyle, the better. How is the atmosphere in the dining room? Is there a dress code for dinner? Does the menu offer good variety? Is the service attentive? Does the chef accommodate dietary requirements? Will you enjoy dining here?

REVIEW PROGRAMS AND ACTIVITIES Ask for an event calendar to see if there are programs and activities of interest to you. Are there a variety of educational, social, cultural, and fitness programs available? Can residents volunteer within the community? Are special travel opportunities available to residents?

GET YOUR FAMILY AND FRIENDS INVOLVED If your family or friends can aid you in deciding, ask them to evaluate your top choices. They may raise questions you haven’t considered.

SEEK THE ADVICE OF A PROFESSIONAL Utilizing a senior housing advisor can help you narrow down your choices and provide valuable insight about the places you are considering.

LICENSE AND REGISTRATION

Moving, be it just across town or to another state, is a detail-oriented process that is further complicated by the fact that some laws and regulations are, more often than not, different in a resident’s new home than one’s old home. This is particularly true when it comes to getting a new driver’s license, vehicle registration, and vehicle titling. To begin the process, visit your local Florida Department of Highway Safety and Motor Vehicles office websites to read up on what you need to do. Here are the main ones for Palm Beach and the Treasure Coast:
