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.
