Top 5 Towns of Palm Beach Florida

At Living in Palm Beach, it is our mission to help people find the right place to live in Palm Beach. However, there are many great towns and neighborhoods in the area. This post will cover our picks for the top five towns in Palm Beach.

Top 5 Towns in Palm Beach

Lake Worth

Lake Worth is a good choice if you want a community with a bit more of an artsy feel. It seems like almost every open wall has a mural on it. Lake Worth also offers a nice combination of small-town and big-town vibes.

There are actually two parts to Lake Worth. There’s Lake Worth Beach and Lake Worth the town. As the name suggests, Lake Worth Beach is the area closest to the beach.

Speaking of Lake Worth Beach, the pier is one of the highlights of the community. It is one of the nicest beaches in the area. It also has the restaurant Benny’s on the Beach at the end of the pier. It is a great dining experience if you are in town.

You might hear some people speak of crime issues in Lake Worth. While it is true that there are problem areas, there are also places that are safe. You should be fine if you are at the beach or Downtown. However, if you stray toward areas off Downtown, it might not be as safe. Always check with city and county authorities with questions about crime in the area. They know more than we do.

Lake Worth is a good choice because it is affordable, and there are good schools in some districts. If you are looking for new construction, we like The Fields. You also have nearby townhouses in Saddlewood.

Wellington

Coming in at number four, we have Wellington. It is to the northeast of Lake Worth. The town is basically like one big suburb east of Palm Beach. Wellington is a good choice if you are looking for a place with lots of patriotism. Many homes have flags hanging, and there are memorials in town.

It is also great for shopping and dining. Wellington Green Mall is a popular shopping destination in the community. You can also head down Route 441 for more shopping.

It is one of the top places to live for equestrian enthusiasts. In fact, Wellington is the Winter Equestrian Capital of the World. The population swells during winter because of the polo season. You also have the Polo Museum and Hall of Fame in Wellington.

For communities, The Fields and Saddlewood are both right on the border with Wellington. You also have nice communities like Olympia, Versailles, Isles at Wellington, and Oakmont. There’s also new construction at Windsong Estates.

Delray Beach

Delray Beach has one of the most beautiful beaches in Florida. Downtown is right off the beach and can be a great place to watch the sunrise. You can park on Ocean Boulevard and then enjoy the view as the sun rises over the ocean.

The town has a lot going on and a lot of events. It is a good place to move if you want to live somewhere upbeat and full of action.

You can find many nice restaurants on Atlantic Avenue in Downtown Delray Beach. Deck 84 is one good option for a place to eat. You could also take a cruise on the Lady Delray. They also have street fairs and various events throughout the year in Downtown Delray Beach.

Western Delray can be a good place to move. Consider communities like Four Seasons, Saturnia Isles, and The Oaks. There’s also Dakota, Seven Bridges, and Lotus. These are all high-end communities.

Jupiter

Jupiter is in the far north of Palm Beach County. One thing to understand about the county’s northern half is that it is a little calmer and quieter.

However, they have nice beaches. Jupiter Beach and Juno Beach are nice destinations for enjoying the water or the scenery. The Jupiter Inlet provides good access for residents to take boats on the sea. That said, the water can be rough, so it requires experience to navigate the waters.

Jupiter Lighthouse and Dubois Park can be nice attractions. The lighthouse offers the scenic image of a seaside town. With Dubois Park, you have a nice place to enjoy the water with children. The water is calm, and there is a playground.

You can also find some nice restaurants near the lighthouse. Spots like Beacon and Jetty’s are definitely worth a try if you are in town. Both offer a good dining experience and incredible seafood.

The Harborside area of the city also has a lot to offer. You’ll find nice restaurants and the Wyndham Grand Hotel in Harborside.

Palm Beach Gardens

At number one, we have Palm Beach Gardens as the top place to live in Palm Beach. It is one of the most popular places to live in the area. The town has nice homes and world-class amenities.

The Gardens Mall is a great place for high-end shopping and dining. You can also do more shopping at nearby Downtown Palm Beach Gardens. Residents can get their groceries at the Whole Foods or head to the Yard House for a good meal.

PGA Boulevard is the main road through Palm Beach Gardens. You can go there to find PGA Commons, an area of art, dining, and shopping in Palm Beach Gardens. The Commons is also close to Midtown. Midtown is nice for its shops and restaurants. The area is also good for condo living.

If you head farther down the road, you’ll find PGA National Resort. It has all the luxury of a first-class resort and some of the best golf you will find. It is also home to the annual Honda Classic.
