The Neighborhood
North Palm Beach is an established waterfront village on the Intracoastal Waterway, built around boating, golf, and a network of canals and lagoons that put much of the community on the water. It offers deep-water access and a village-club lifestyle within easy reach of both Palm Beach and Jupiter.
Two things define the village. The first is water access, a system of navigable waterways and protected harbors that make it one of the area’s most established boating communities, with private dockage woven through its neighborhoods. The second is its country club, a village-owned centerpiece with a golf course reimagined by one of the game’s most celebrated names, which anchors the community’s social and recreational life. North Palm Beach pairs genuine waterfront living with the amenities of a club town.
| Setting | Waterfront village on the Intracoastal, canals, and lagoons |
|---|---|
| Character | Established, waterfront, golf oriented, and family friendly |
| On the Water | Navigable canals, protected harbors, and private dockage |
| Social Core | A village-owned country club with a celebrated golf course |
| Architecture | Mid-century waterfront homes, updated and rebuilt coastal |
| How It Trades | Waterfront driven, with strong renovation and rebuild activity |
North Palm Beach was developed in the mid-twentieth century as a planned waterfront community, with canals and harbors cut to give homes direct access to the Intracoastal. That waterway network still defines it, and its most valuable addresses are the deep-water lots with a short, unobstructed run to the inlet and the ocean. Established harbors and marinas reinforce the boating culture that has always been central to the village.
At the heart of the village sits its country club, notable for a course redesigned by one of golf’s greatest figures, which the community owns and operates as a civic centerpiece. The club gives North Palm Beach a social and recreational core that many waterfront communities lack, and it draws buyers who want both a dock and a fairway within the same small village.
Value here is set by the water, by dockage, water depth, and the run to the inlet, and by the quality of the renovation or rebuild on a given lot. The best deep-water properties are closely held and move on timing and relationships. Understanding the village means reading its waterways and knowing which lots offer the access that a general listing cannot convey.
The housing stock began as solid mid-century waterfront homes, many of which are now being renovated or rebuilt for a new generation of buyers seeking deep-water lots close to the coast. The village’s mature landscaping and settled streets give it a sense of permanence, while the ongoing rebuilding is steadily lifting its high end. It is a place with good bones and rising ambition.

Everything you need to know about living in North Palm Beach.
Waterfront estates along the Intracoastal offer deep-water dockage, ocean access, and views toward Singer Island; the market table above carries current pricing, read live from the MLS. Lost Tree Village operates at the top of the market, with interior homes at the entry end and direct Intracoastal frontage at the top. Custom teardown-rebuild projects near the Village Golf Club and along the waterfront corridor span a wide range depending on lot and finish level.
The broader village market starts lower, with golf course properties and marina condos at Old Port Cove offering the lowest entry points. The market table above carries the current village median across all property types, read live from the MLS, but the luxury segment is where inventory is tightest and demand from relocating buyers is strongest. For buyers evaluating Palm Beach County broadly, North Palm Beach offers Intracoastal estate pricing below comparable properties in Jupiter.
For luxury buyers, North Palm Beach has two primary areas. Lost Tree Village is the premier enclave: a gated community with a private beach club, golf course, yacht club, and estates at the top of the village market. Outside Lost Tree, the Intracoastal corridor along Harbour Drive and Inlet Way offers waterfront estates with private docks, ocean access, and no club membership requirement.
The Country Club area surrounding the Village Golf Club offers golf-oriented properties below the waterfront tier, with the upper end attracting buyers doing custom teardown-rebuilds. Old Port Cove, a marina community on the Intracoastal, is relevant less as a purchase target at PBL price points and more as marina and yacht club infrastructure that serves the broader waterfront community. The surrounding village neighborhoods provide the small-town character and local services that support daily life for estate owners.
Waterfront properties in North Palm Beach fall into two categories: Intracoastal estates and marina condos. Intracoastal estates along Harbour Drive and Inlet Way sit on lots from 0.25 to over 0.5 acres, private docks accommodating vessels up to 60+ feet, and direct ocean access through the Lake Worth Inlet.
Lost Tree Village adds a private waterfront option, combining Intracoastal frontage with a private yacht club and 18-hole course within a gated community. Old Port Cove’s full-service marina and yacht club, while a condo community by ownership structure, provide slip access and boating infrastructure that serves estate owners across the area. Adjacent Jupiter and Singer Island expand the waterfront options for buyers exploring the broader corridor.
Lost Tree Village is a private, gated community on the eastern edge of North Palm Beach, bordered by the Intracoastal Waterway and the Atlantic Ocean. The community includes a private 18-hole golf course, a beach club on Singer Island, a yacht club with deep-water marina, tennis and croquet facilities, and several hundred residences. Interior homes sit at the entry end, with waterfront properties on direct Intracoastal frontage at the top.
Membership is by invitation and tied to property ownership. The community operates with a homeowners’ association that maintains grounds, security, and common areas (dues and assessments are approximate, subject to change, verify directly with the club). For buyers evaluating private club communities in Palm Beach County, Lost Tree competes with Seminole Landing, Jupiter Island, and Admirals Cove, distinguished by its combination of beach, golf, and marina access within a single community.
Yes. The Village Golf Club is a municipal facility owned by the Village of North Palm Beach, open to residents and the public. The 18-hole championship course was completely redesigned by Jack Nicklaus in 2006 and plays over 6,600 yards. A separate 9-hole course serves beginners and players looking for a shorter round. Greens fees for village residents run well below the non-resident rate, making it a major draw for golf-oriented buyers.
The municipal ownership structure is a key reason North Palm Beach attracts buyers who want championship-caliber golf without private club initiation fees, which at nearby communities are substantial (verify directly with individual clubs). The clubhouse includes a restaurant, pro shop, and event space. For buyers who prefer a private club environment, Lost Tree Village and nearby Admirals Cove offer that alternative within minutes.
North Palm Beach sits between Jupiter to the north and Palm Beach Gardens to the west, offering lower median prices than Jupiter’s waterfront corridor and more Intracoastal access than most of Palm Beach Gardens. North Palm Beach’s median across all property types sits below Jupiter’s, which is driven by communities like Admirals Cove and the broader Jupiter waterfront corridor.
The key differentiator is the Village Golf Club, which gives residents a Nicklaus-designed course at public rates. Jupiter offers a wider range of private club communities, while Palm Beach Gardens provides larger master-planned developments and proximity to The Gardens Mall and Downtown at the Gardens. For waterfront buyers, North Palm Beach’s Intracoastal pricing sits below Jupiter’s corridor, with comparable ocean access.
North Palm Beach property taxes are administered by the Palm Beach County Property Appraiser and include county, school district, and village millage. The combined rate is comparable to adjacent municipalities in the northern part of the county. Florida has no state income tax, and the Homestead Exemption reduces taxable value by $50,000 for primary residents.
The Save Our Homes cap limits annual assessed value increases on homesteaded properties to the lower of 3% or the Consumer Price Index, which creates significant tax advantages for long-term owners. Non-homesteaded properties (second homes, investment properties) are assessed at full market value annually. Lost Tree Village and other communities with HOA assessments carry additional costs beyond the ad valorem tax bill. For buyers comparing tax jurisdictions across Palm Beach County neighborhoods, the village’s own millage component is a relatively small share of the total tax bill, with county and school district levies making up the majority.
North Palm Beach is served by the School District of Palm Beach County. Zoned public schools include North Palm Beach Elementary, Howell L. Watkins Middle School, and William T. Dwyer High School. The district also offers magnet and choice programs accessible to village residents.
Private school options within a short drive include The Benjamin School (pre-K through 12, located in North Palm Beach), Jupiter Christian School, and Palm Beach Day Academy. For families evaluating Palm Beach County communities by school access, North Palm Beach’s proximity to The Benjamin School is a significant draw for buyers prioritizing independent education alongside golf community or waterfront living.
Flood zone designations in North Palm Beach vary by property. Properties along the Intracoastal Waterway and in low-lying areas are typically classified in FEMA AE zones, which require flood insurance for federally backed mortgages. Interior properties, particularly those west of US-1, often fall in Zone X (minimal flood risk). Buyers can verify specific designations through the FEMA Flood Map Service Center or Palm Beach County’s flood zone map.
Flood insurance costs vary significantly based on zone, elevation, and construction type. Properties in AE zones carry annual premiums that vary with structure and coverage limits. Citizens Property Insurance provides a state-backed option where private market coverage is unavailable. For waterfront buyers, flood zone diligence is a standard part of the acquisition process, and we coordinate with insurance specialists to secure coverage as part of the transaction.
New construction activity in North Palm Beach is limited by the village’s built-out character. Most new homes result from teardown-rebuild projects, particularly along the Intracoastal corridor and in the Country Club area near the Village Golf Club. Custom new builds in these locations vary with lot size, waterfront access, and finishes.
Lost Tree Village sees periodic new construction within its gates, with custom estates built on the remaining available lots. For buyers seeking a broader selection of new construction options, adjacent Jupiter and Palm Beach Gardens offer more active development pipelines. New condo developments in the broader area, including Singer Island, provide additional options for buyers who want new product with waterfront access.
North Palm Beach has appreciated substantially since 2021. The investment fundamentals rest on constrained supply (the village is largely built out), strong demand driven by the Nicklaus golf course and Intracoastal access, proximity to Jupiter and Palm Beach, and Florida’s favorable tax structure: no state income tax, no state estate tax, and homestead protections that cap annual assessment increases.
The village’s pricing below adjacent Palm Beach County communities gives buyers Intracoastal access at a lower basis than Jupiter’s waterfront corridor or oceanfront markets. Lost Tree Village and Intracoastal estates have seen particularly strong demand from relocating buyers. Waterfront properties with deep-water dockage remain the most competitive segment. These observations reflect general market trends and should not be construed as investment advice.
Old Port Cove is a marina community on the Intracoastal Waterway with a full-service marina accommodating vessels up to 100+ feet, a yacht club, waterfront dining, pools, and tennis courts. For waterfront estate buyers in North Palm Beach, Old Port Cove’s marina and yacht club function as shared boating infrastructure even for owners who live outside the community. The marina provides direct ocean access and is one of the few facilities in the area with slips for larger vessels.
The residential component consists of several condo buildings ranging from mid-rise to high-rise. While these price points sit below the luxury segment, Old Port Cove’s marina capacity and yacht club membership options make it relevant context for anyone evaluating the North Palm Beach waterfront corridor. For buyers comparing boating access across Palm Beach County, the combination of slip availability, ocean access, and proximity to Jupiter and Palm Beach positions this marina as a practical asset for the broader estate community.
