An advantageous location of the city
Roosevelt Estates has roots as a historically Black West Palm Beach neighborhood, developed in the mid-20th century to facilitate an influx of new residents to the area. The area has grown a reputation of being perhaps one of the most conveniently located sections of the city over the decades since. From shopping to outdoor fun, it’s all close to Roosevelt Estates. “It’s a great location in terms of access to all of the great things in West Palm Beach,” says local Realtor Stephen Snow of EXIT Realty Premier Elite. “Schools, activities, entertainment, shopping, dining, transportation.”
Homes create a cohesive landscape
Most of the houses in Roosevelt Estates were built between the 1950s and the 1970s. Construction came as part of a boom that corresponded with what was a 20% increase in Black residents to the city between 1950 and 1960, according to the Sun Sentinel. The neighborhood is made up almost exclusively of single-story bungalow- and ranch-style homes. “They’re basically about average size, about three-bedroom, two bath,” says Snow, who has lived in the area for almost 50 years. “And they’re well built, built in a really good time period. And they offer attractively sized lots.” Floor plans stretch an average of about 1,500 square feet, and lots here are often somewhere around one-fifth of an acre. Price tags in Roosevelt Estates start in the mid-$200,000s and usually top out in the $500,000s.

Dining of all types is nearby
There’s a multitude of restaurants within a couple of miles. “You really don’t have to go very far from Roosevelt Estates,” Snow says. “That area, you don’t have to stray very far to find good restaurants in every price range.” Spots like regional chain Jaws Hot Chicken & Seafood are within walking distance for many. Jaws’ chicken sandwiches are beloved. Fan out a bit farther for spots like the family-owned Off Tha Bone BBQ, whose ribs are renowned. Or roll south toward Downtown for Clematis Street or The Square for many more options — those are two of the hottest spots for dining in the city, Snow says.
There’s also a Publix near The Square, just about 2 miles from Roosevelt Estates, convenient for groceries and other essentials. Locals can scratch their retail itch just over a mile to the west at the Tanger Outlets. This 455,000-square-foot outdoor shopping center features dozens of stores, from Adidas to Zumiez.
