Palm Beach is a special place. The year-round warm climate, sandy beaches, and palm-tree scented air has been a draw since the 1900s and continues to be today. Award-winning dining, exquisite country clubs, and ultra-luxury shopping on world-renowned Worth Avenue allow Palm Beach to be a destination while somehow maintaining its small-town charm.
Palm Beach Island’s Core Real Estate is classified into three sections: Wells Rd and North called the North End, Worth Avenue to Wells Rd knows as In-Town, and Worth Ave south to Sloan’s Curve known as the Estate Section. Each section has its own character and appeal making where to buy a very personal decision. With that said, here is what sales data shows as the hottest section on Palm Beach right now.
