WELCOME TO PALM BEACH COUNTY

WORK AND PLAY

West Palm Beach is now referred to in financial circles as “Wall Street South”. Soon, high-speed Brightline rail service will connect through Palm Beach County from Miami to Orlando. Palm Beach County is the epicenter of a building and business boom sweeping the East Coast of the Sunshine State. Corporate headquarters have been relocated to our warmer climate and even manufacturing is on an upswing.

But, people come here for more than just a solid employment environment. Great schools, from public to private and pre-K to post-graduate, as well as continuing education provide residents plenty of learning options at every age. Housing options that include starter homes, spacious family homes, condos, and beachfront properties present all manner of choices for various needs and desires. And employment opportunities in areas such as manufacturing, research and development, health care, and hospitality offer residents an abundance of potential for career advancement and mobility.

Recent developments include partnerships between University of Florida and Jupiter Medical Center to increase hospital services in Palm Beach Gardens. This is in addition to the UF Graduate School planned for downtown West Palm Beach. New residential and office towers are going up in West Palm Beach and the skyline in Boca Raton is getting a lift with new condominium towers there as well. Need to get outdoors? Palm Beach County absolutely has you covered. Golf, tennis, sportfishing, pickleball, polo, boating, watersports… all are available just minutes away, no matter where you live in the area. When you reside in Palm Beach County, you can never say there is “nothing to do.”

On the following pages, you’ll find information about where to live, shop, and dine as well as gain insight into local health care, education, transportation, and more. “City Spotlights” gives a detailed overview of many of the county’s cities and towns (as well as a few on the Treasure Coast).

After consulting this guide, it will become clear why so many people are choosing to make Palm Beach County and the Treasure Coast their destination of choice.

Welcome home! We’re glad you’re here.
