Island escape from the urban bustle in South Palm Beach
Owning a home in South Palm Beach will put you in fairly illustrious company, as famed Gilded Age socialite Consuelo Vanderbilt-Balsan, heiress to the Vanderbilt railroad fortune, built a home on the island in 1932 and lived there for many years. This area is wholly residential, a quiet neighborhood that offers a suburban escape from the hustle and bustle of Palm Beach proper and Lantana while still being close to the beach and mainland amenities.

Fishing, boating and waterfront homes on the Intracoastal Waterway
This small strip of land sits in the Intracoastal Waterway, which separates the oceanfront beaches from the Florida mainland. Known locally as the “ICW,” the waterway is a popular spot for fishing and boating, with many waterfront homes sporting private docks for ease of access. It also serves as an important habitat for native wildlife like dolphins, ospreys and manatees.

Maritime lessons fill the curriculum at South Palm Beach schools
Students in South Palm Beach have to head to the mainland to attend schools in the Palm Beach County School District, which earns an A-minus from Niche. They can start at Rolling Green Elementary, which earns a C, before continuing on to Lantana Middle, which earns a C-plus and offers choice programs in dance and music along with pre-medical sciences and pre-teacher education tracks. Lake Worth Community High School earns a C-plus and offers students the opportunity to participate in more than 40 school-sponsored clubs and play more than 15 varsity-level sports. Parents may also consider Palm Beach Maritime Academy, a tuition-free charter school serving Kindergarten through 12th grade. Beyond the traditional school subjects, PBMA offers a maritime study and marine science enhanced curriculum, allowing students to learn about the ocean and native wildlife with hands-on lessons, live specimens and special field trips, like tagging sharks with University of Miami graduate students or taking part in the International Coastal Cleanup.

Outdoor spaces include nature preserves, beaches and snorkeling sites
Residents have plenty of nearby options for a day outdoors.

For a chance at spotting even more wildlife, visit Hypoluxo Scrub Natural Area, 98 acres of preserved scrubland and restored wetland environments, home to critters like gopher tortoises and nine-banded armadillos.
