Lake Worth Beach real estate guide

TL;DR: Lake Worth Beach mixes older bungalows and historic homes near downtown with condos and newer homes west of I-95. The city has its own beach, a fishing pier and a walkable downtown.

Home types

• Older bungalows and cottages, many in the city's six historic districts
• Mid-century single-family homes
• Condos and small multi-family buildings
• Homes in historic districts need a Certificate of Appropriateness from the city before exterior work

Places and getting around

• The Lake Worth Beach pier and public beach
• Downtown along Lake Avenue and Lucerne Avenue
• Bryant Park and the Lake Worth Lagoon waterfront
• The city runs its own electric utility, so your power bill comes from Lake Worth Beach, not FPL

Prices and HOA fees

Prices and HOA or condo fees vary a lot from one community to the next, and they change often. For current prices, see what is listed now. For your own home, get a free home value and I will send you real numbers.

What to know before you buy or sell

• Older homes: get a 4-point and wind mitigation inspection early. They drive insurance cost.
• The city was renamed from Lake Worth to Lake Worth Beach in 2019, so older records use both names.

Schools

Look up school zones and ratings for a specific address with the School District of Palm Beach County. Zones can change, so check the address, not the city.

My local tip

If you look at an older home, ask for the age of the roof, wiring and plumbing up front, and check whether the street is in a historic district. Those answers shape your insurance, your inspection and what you can change later.
