West Gate Estates is a compact neighborhood next to the airport
In iconic West Palm Beach, the neighborhood of West Gate Estates is a primarily residential community with easy access to shopping, dining and entertainment along Okeechobee Boulevard and Military Trail. While West Gate Estates is small — only a half square mile in size — it’s big on possibilities. Living between Florida’s Turnpike and I-95, residents are not only within a day's drive of most Florida attractions, they're also happy not to share the same cost of living. Palm Beach International Airport is also convenient to residents, located just south of West Gate Estates. While this proximity may benefit frequent fliers, the neighborhood's noise levels are notably higher than other areas.

Renovated 1950s houses sell slowly but appeal to niche buyers
West Gate Estates has modest 1,000 to 1,500-square-foot homes, some renovated, with big backyards and lots of charm. “For less than a half-million dollars, you're just a hop, skip and a jump from the beach,” says Josh Glasser, owner and managing broker of The Meta Group Florida LLC. Glasser recently worked with an investor to buy and renovate a home in West Gate Estates. “It’s hard to find single-family homes so close to the beach in the $400,000 range,” Glasser says. “That’s a lot of home for your buck, and the beach is only 5 miles away.” With regular perpendicular streets, minimal landscaping and simple Ranch-style homes, West Gate Estates is a neighborhood that came of age in the 1950s. “Not too many properties go on the market there,” Glasser says. “When they do, they sell slowly. I think buyers take their time in older neighborhoods. They need to find their niche, but for some, West Gate Estates is the perfect fit.”

From supermarkets to steakhouses, commercial amenities are close by
For everyday needs, West Gate Estates is well-equipped. La Tapatía Supermarket is right on Westgate Avenue, which runs east-west through the neighborhood. If you’re willing to travel a few miles south (before you hit the botanical garden), you’ll find a Walmart Supercenter. Just take a drive on Okeechobee Boulevard, the main business corridor that runs along the top of the neighborhood, and you’ll run across car dealerships, pharmacies, clothing and furniture stores, and many restaurants.
A standout is Okeechobee Steak House, named one of the 15 best steak restaurants in the world by Condé Nast Traveler. This neighborhood landmark has been in business for more than 75 years, and the establishment knows how to please. Try a mouth-watering filet mignon — according to reviews, it's aged and cooked to perfection. And pair it with a sweet cold-water lobster tail. For a drink afterward, stop in at 215 Speakeasy down the road. This funky cocktail bar has a charming Manhattan feel, and its mixologists are always ready to dazzle your tastebuds with an Old Fashioned, Mojito or flavored Martini.
