About
Looking at homes for sale in West Palm Beach starts on the mainland bank of the Intracoastal Waterway, with the town of Palm Beach just across the water. You reach it over three drawbridges: Flagler Memorial, Royal Park and Southern Boulevard. Downtown on foot means CityPlace and Clematis Street, and the Kravis Center is where the city's performing arts happen. At the Great Lawn, where Flagler Drive meets Clematis Street, downtown opens onto the Intracoastal Waterway. The Meyer Amphitheatre is a brief stroll south.
