Living in West Palm Beach
West Palm Beach is the mainland county seat on the Intracoastal, five minutes from Atlantic sand that belongs to the separate Town of Palm Beach. The fork is geography: downtown around Clematis Street, CityPlace/The Square, and Flagler Drive is where Brightline, Tri-Rail, Palm Tran, and a free trolley make a car optional; west of I-95 toward Wellington and Royal Palm Beach you buy garages, yards, and a roughly 20-minute drive. Nurses will find Good Samaritan Medical Center and St. Mary's Medical Center among local employers, and housing as the expensive line—city median sale about $527,000, downtown about $761,000, plus windstorm and flood insurance. Northwood bungalows and Villages of Palm Beach Lakes undercut Flagler Waterfront and El Cid; eat on Clematis or at Howley's, or chase Guanabanas in Jupiter. Tradeoffs are eight humid months, hurricane season as routine, winter snowbird traffic, and wages that lag housing. The payoff is waterfront walks, Kravis Center and Norton Museum nights, SunFest, and a downtown that stays out after dark.
