About Royal Palm Beach, FL

About Royal Palm Beach, FL

An outdoor environment close to West Palm Beach

Just under 30 miles inland from the Atlantic Ocean is the village of Royal Palm Beach, a community of 39,000 that started as a Seminole hunting ground. Established in 1959, this community now sits conveniently near West Palm Beach and the other South Florida cities. But despite its bustling location, Neil Picart, an agent with Keller Williams Realty, says Royal Palm Beach is actually pretty quiet. “You have a lot of green space, a lot of parks, good schools and a good mix of housing,” says Picart.

Nature preservation and outdoor activities

Royal Palm Beach is serious about preserving and utilizing its outdoor spaces. In the 1990s, the village earned a Tree City USA designation, and in 2024, the Arbor Day Foundation honored the city for its tree planting and maintenance efforts. Royal Palm Beach Pines is a 772-acre nature preserve that was one of the first natural areas purchased using voter-approved funds and includes trails through the wetlands and marshes. The village also has several parks, including Royal Palm Beach Commons Park, which has indoor and outdoor facilities. Along with a three-story sporting center, the park has volleyball courts, a golf training center and three miles of walking and bike trails. Crestwood 's Preservation Park includes pickleball courts, soccer fields and a skate arena. Royal Palm Beach also has the Village Golf Club, a public course in the La Mancha neighborhood. There are also courses nearby in Wellington, Florida, including the Palm Beach Polo Golf & Country Club and Wellington National. Warm weather dominates throughout the year, only dropping into the 70s in the winter. Still, residents must be aware of hurricane activity, including potential flooding, heavy rainfall, and high winds. Both the village and county maintain notification systems for residents
