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 lots come to market rarely. Water depth, dockage and the run to the inlet vary lot by lot.
