West Palm Beach's Grandview Heights neighborhood was originally named for its view of Lake Worth Lagoon a century ago. "The neighborhood is hilly, unlike the rest of Florida," says Peter Mergenthaler, Jr., Realtor and owner of Gfolio Real Estate Inc. Mergenthaler grew up in the Palm Beach area and has been selling real estate there for over 30 years. "To me, Grandview Heights has a funky, historic charm unique to West Palm Beach. The homes' mature tree canopy and craftsmanship give it something you don't see every day, and that's where I think it gets its grandeur." The neighborhood—within walking distance of downtown West Palm Beach and some of the city's biggest attractions—was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1999.

Well-established homes in West Palm Beach
Many of Grandview Heights' historic homes were demolished in the 1990s to make way for the Kravis Center for the Performing Arts, Rosemary Square, and the Palm Beach County Convention Center. However, the neighborhood's cypress and palm-shaded streets are still home to a vast collection of renovated historic structures, from quaint Key West-style bungalows and Mission Revivals to American Foursquares dating between 1910 and 1925. Properties start at $525,000 for a bungalow and cap out at $2 million for contemporary estates and luxury townhouses built in the 2010s—as opposed to bordering neighborhood Flamingo Parks, where homes can reach up to $3.2 million. Cityplace South Tower offers luxury condo living at the neighborhood's north end for $500,000 to $1 million.
