Palm Beach Gardens

 

Just in from the coast, but still close enough that the salt breeze still winds its way through the streets, Palm Beach Gardens is the crowning jewel of the county. Its lush scenery, gorgeous homes, and luxury shopping make it a prime destination. Not only is it gorgeous, but Palm Beach Gardens is also highly convenient. It sits close to major arteries like Interstate 95 and the Turnpike, is easily accessible to Palm Beach International Airport, and is minutes from the beachfront neighborhoods.

Before it was developed, Palm Beach Gardens consisted of cattle ranches and swamps. It was named because the founder was intent on creating a garden city full of tropical foliage. It was founded in 1959 and then developed rapidly in the 1960s, but it wasn’t until The Gardens Mall was opened in 1988 that Palm Beach Gardens began to thrive.

Today, many pro athletes and golfers call Palm Beach Gardens home, and the city is full of single-family homes, enchanting villas, and luxury condos. Whether you want a view of the green or a private estate, your dream home awaits you here.

Palm Beach Gardens raises the bar when it comes to shopping and golf. An air of luxury permeates this community, mingling with the serene and beautiful lifestyle it offers. Though it’s a prime retirement spot, plenty of young families, professionals, and even college students come here. Affluent residential areas sit close to vibrant public spaces, making Palm Beach Gardens one of the best places to live in the state.
