For those who want to stay near the water and find an adventure, a pet-friendly 6-mile Lake Trail which runs along the Intracoastal Waterways is at your disposal.
The market:
High price points and luxury homes
In Palm Beach, inventory is low and price tags are high.

Many of these architectural gems are meticulously kept up by the Landmark committee. Most of this town is made up of large palatial homes with sprawling lots; some homes cover an entire block. These residences are home to many of the world’s wealthiest, from politicians to entrepreneurs and CEOs. With the goals of privacy and comfort being second-to-none, Palm Beach residences feature incredible water and beach-front views, secluded private beach parcels, and luxurious finishes.
