Palm Beach Coastal Historic Homes

West Palm Beach is one of the fastest-growing cities in the nation. Many people are drawn to the South Florida lifestyle, and Palm Beach County provides the ideal combination of activities for all kinds of homeowners, be they young families, single people or people enjoying their retirement.

With this influx of people, the local housing market is booming. New communities are springing up in the "western communities" at an amazing rate. However, there is a community in West Palm Beach that proudly embraces its lack of "newness": Northwood. This thriving community is a 5-minute drive from downtown West Palm Beach, City Place and the intercoastal waterway.

Old Northwood was developed in the early 1920's during the height of Florida's boom era. Prominent architects, such as John Volk and William King, designed homes that made Old Northwood one of the most exclusive communities this side of Palm Beach.

During the past two decades, Old Northwood has seen a surge of new homeowners and renters, enthusiastic about living in a "real neighborhood." Residents have formed committees to beautify the surroundings, re-route traffic, and otherwise elevate the quality of life here.

Our neighborhood is an eclectic mixture of residents with varied professions, backgrounds, and lifestyles - all united in one cause... working together to keep Old Northwood and the City of West Palm Beach a wonderful place to live!
