The Pine Air neighborhood trades pinecones and needle-covered yards for cabbage palms, sturdy oak trees and balmy beachfront living. This West Palm Beach suburb is around the bend from local schools and is a prime spot for homebuyers who want to be close to the surf without the accompanying hubbub.
Pine Air is almost entirely single-family housing, with a few duplexes and low-rise condo buildings mixed into the neighborhood landscape. Homes here are generally less expensive than in other areas of Palm Beach, with two-bedroom properties listed from the upper $300,000s to around $500,000. Ranch-stye and shotgun homes are most common along these quiet streets, many sporting clear Spanish design influences. With few sidewalks to be found and metal fences running alongside wide driveways, homes in Pine Air are private spaces to rest before getting outdoors to the other areas of Palm Beach.
Street names within the neighborhood feature a unique mix of plants and aspirational concepts. Palm Avenue, Forest Road and Walnut Street connect to Happiness Avenue, Success Street and Dream Avenue. Some homeowners even follow Rainbow Avenue to Pot O Gold Street.
Most of Pine Air’s South American and Cuban restaurants, as well as major shopping centers, can be accessed by South Military Trail. Local favorites like Russo’s Submarine Shop – a staple in Palm Beach County for over 75 years – are joined by meals on wheels. Los Brothers Fast Food serves Columbian favorites and South American street food, while Taqueria La Bendicion offers many options beyond just tacos, like wings, tostadas and specialty quesadillas.
Residents can find everyday necessities and affordable options at the nearby Publix Super Market at Polo Grounds Mall or their local Walmart Neighborhood Market. For more specialized groceries or a hot halal meal, they head to Jerusalem Food Market.
Locals are less than a mile from Palm Beach County Library’s flagship location. Visitors can access many extra services and amenities like the CreationStation digital media lab, which includes green screens, editing equipment and more. Meanwhile, the famous Palm Beach Zoo is a central location for endangered species care in Florida. It’s also a nearby source of weekend plans for locals, including Zoo Lights Nights hosted throughout the holidays.
Students in Pine Air attend Palm Beach County public schools like nearby Berkshire Elementary School, which earns a B-minus from Niche and partners with the Ministry of Education of Spain to offer a two-way Spanish language immersion program. At Palm Springs Community Middle School, students can continue their language learning journey or join one of the other choice programs in subjects like dance, communication, music or theater. This school earns a C-plus from Niche, while John I. Leonard High School earns a B-minus.
Pine Air is bordered to the north by Trump International Golf Club West Palm Beach. Residents head a bit further north for all-access outdoor fun at Lake Lytal Park. Locals bring their tennis racquets and basketballs, set up a picnic or watch their kids funnel down the two-story waterslide into the wading pool at Lake Lytal Family Aquatic Center. Of course, the beach is also a short drive away for Pine Air residents.
PalmTran bus stops line South Military Trail, a major thoroughfare from Juniper to Pompano Beach. It's a popular alternative for commuting by car on more crowded roadways like I-95, Florida’s Turnpike, or Route 1 – all of which sit close to Pine Air. The entire neighborhood is also just over 5 miles from the sandy shores of Summa Beach Park and other public access points.
Pine Air is also less than 4 miles from Palm Beach International Airport. In case of an emergency, locals head west to HCA Florida Palms West Hospital on U.S. Route 98.
While the PalmTran bus is a viable option, most homeowners skip the longer wait times in the heat in favor of driving themselves around Palm Beach.
