Inlet Shores
Suburban Neighborhood in Singer Island, Florida
Palm Beach County 33404
Investing around Inlet Shores
Single-family ranch-style homes and high-rise condos overlooking the Intracoastal Waterway are plentiful within the neighborhood. Waterfront condos begin in the $300,000s and can run to just under $1 million for a three-bedroom unit. “Many people are buying them as investments due to the large number of condo developments in the works,” Vega says. Older houses set back from the water may list between $200,000 and $400,000; most are painted brick ranch-style from the 1960s. Prices take a steep hike as they get closer to the water. Anything within a block of the Intracoastal may near $1 million, and properties with waterfront access usually top $2 million.

Snorkeling and exploring Peanut Island
Nautical activities are the norm here, with everything from fishing charters to scuba diving alongside sharks. Bicentennial Park, which sits along the banks of the Intracoastal Waterway, offers aquatic adventures, including kayaking, jet-ski rentals and parasailing, plus a splash park for kids. Those who want to learn about and see manatees can visit the Manatee Lagoon, a free educational site that offers engaging, hands-on exhibits. Peanut Island is a popular spot for snorkeling, with octopus, parrotfish and starfish being just some of the sea life divers may encounter. Camping on the island is also possible. There is a ferry that runs to the island 365 days a year, and those who have boats can quickly venture over. “Every weekend, you can see hundreds of boats and jet skis next to Peanut Island,” Vega says. “It's a neat place to explore. When John F. Kennedy was president, they made a bunker for him under the island. It was open to the public as a museum for several years.” Locals can also walk or bike across the Jerry Thomas Memorial Bridge to Singer Island, stopping along the way to snorkel at Phil Foster Park.

Lincoln Elementary School is the zoned school for most area children, and it scores a C on Niche. Students can then attend John F. Kennedy Middle School, with a C-plus rating. It has options such as the International Baccalaureate Middle Years Programme. High school students may be zoned for William T. Dwyer High School, rated an A, or Palm Beach Gardens Community High School, which gets a B-plus. Dwyer offers 27 varsity sports, and Palm Beach Gardens has more than 20 clubs, including Robotics Club and Women of Tomorrow.Seafood Festivals abound in the Riviera Beach area
“The area has a lot of seafood festivals,” Vega says. “Everything here is about eating and drinking on the water. The Ocean Walk shopping mall has live music every day and festivals on weekends. On Riviera Beach, there is a fresh market on Sundays where farmers bring produce and food trucks come sell things like fried conch.” The Manatee Lagoon also hosts an annual ManateeFest with activities for kids, music and manatee-themed art for sale.Easy access to Interstate 95 and the Palm Beach International Airport
Inlet Shores is about 5 miles east of Interstate 95, which runs the length of the east coast. Approximately 8 miles away is Palm Beach International Airport, which connects more than 40 cities with nonstop service. Palm Tran buses stop along Broadway, running from Palm Beach Gardens to Boca Raton. Those who need medical care can find St. Mary’s Medical Center, with a Level I trauma center, less than 2 miles south. Locals can take the ferry to Peanut Island 365 days a year (except when storms make the crossing unsafe); boats run every 25 minutes from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m.Grabbing a bite on Blue Heron Boulevard
There are several grocery stores in the area, including a Publix located on Blue Heron Boulevard. Romana’s Pizza and Walgreens are also along Blue Heron, and Smoothie Me Please, as well as La Granja, can be found on Broadway. Rafiki Tiki Bar & Grill, in the Rivera Beach Event Center, has outdoor dining with views of the water. Those in need of more retail options can find several larger shopping centers and Tangier Outlets in West Palm Beach, just over 6 miles away.

Environmental considerations
There is a Superfund site just 0.5 mile north of the neighborhood. It was formerly a manufacturing plant for circuit boards. The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) has performed remediation efforts and has determined that contamination on site does not pose a risk to those who live nearby. The Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) rates hurricanes and lightning as the highest environmental risks for Palm Beach County.

The GreatSchools Rating helps parents compare schools within a state based on a variety of school quality indicators and provides a helpful picture of how effectively each school serves all of its students. Ratings are on a scale of 1 (below average) to 10 (above average) and can include test scores, college readiness, academic progress, advanced courses, equity, discipline and attendance data. We also advise parents to visit schools, consider other information on school performance and programs, and consider family needs as part of the school selection process.
