This small, primarily residential area provides a tranquil escape from the busier parts of Palm Beach County while maintaining proximity to various attractions. The neighborhood's history adds to its charm, with notable residents like Consuelo Vanderbilt-Balsan, heiress to the Vanderbilt railroad fortune, having called South Palm Beach home. This legacy contributes to the area's prestigious reputation and upscale character.

Car-centric area with access to public transit options

Transportation in South Palm Beach primarily revolves around personal vehicles, reflecting the area's car-dependent nature. However, there are public transit options available for those looking to explore the wider Palm Beach County area. The nearest bus stop, Dixie HWY & Ocean Ave, is located about a mile and a half from Palmsea Condominium. This stop serves two bus lines: PBG - BCR via US-1 and VISTA CTR-US1 via JOG/LANTANA, providing connections to surrounding communities and commercial areas. For those needing to commute to other parts of South Florida, the Lake Worth Tri-Rail station is approximately 3.5 miles away, or about a 10-minute drive.

Air travelers will find Palm Beach International Airport conveniently located about 12 miles away, or roughly a 20-minute drive, providing easy access to domestic and international flights. While the area is primarily designed for car travel, there are some opportunities for cycling, with a moderate bike score indicating that some bike infrastructure is present.
