Area Information

West Palm Beach is a city in Palm Beach County, Florida, with a lot of history. There weren't any other cities in South Florida when West Palm Beach incorporated in 1894. That heritage is evidenced by a dozen historic neighborhoods that are currently preserved or being lovingly restored. Historic neighborhoods include El Cid, Old Northwood Village and Flamingo Park.

West Palm Beach's downtown district is very attractive and lively. Kravis Center for the Performing Arts is a cultural hot spot that features touring Broadway shows, the Miami City Ballet, concerts, operas, and more. The popular CityPlace complex offers restaurants, clubs, shops and multi-story townhouses and apartments. West Palm Beach is also the host of SunFest, an annual waterfront music festival that attracts 250,000 people over its five-day springtime run.

Built along a wide section of the Intracoastal Waterway called the Lake Worth Lagoon, West Palm Beach has a lot of waterfront and water activities, but getting to the beach means crossing a causeway to the ritzy town of Palm Beach on the Atlantic Ocean.

Commuters have quite a few options here. The region's main expressway, I-95, bisects West Palm Beach, while Florida's Turnpike parallels I-95 to the west of the city. West Palm Beach is also home to Palm Beach International Airport, located on the city's western border. Rail commuters take Tri-Rail, a regional rail service, south to Broward County and into downtown Miami.
