Architecture and unique properties make Northwood such a desirable place to live.
Northwood is one of the most unique and interesting neighborhoods in West Palm Beach. Its centerpiece is a figure-eight street layout surrounding the highest natural peaks in South Florida at 44 feet above sea level. A wide variety of architecture exists in Northwood Hills, ranging from the 1920’s-1950’s. Some of the city’s finest and most unique homes were built here because of the topography and walkability of the circular streets.
What was once a backwoods suburb with rum runners selling illegal booze from their Spanish castles is now a community-oriented neighborhood in the heart of the city. While it is still a sleepy neighborhood, it is located just 4 blocks from Northwood Village where you can find funky restaurants, art, music, and shoppes. Being just 3 miles from the beach and downtown means you never have to venture far to enjoy the best parts of South Florida living.
The Old Northwood Historic District is one of the most beautiful and friendly neighborhoods in West Palm Beach. Its distinguished architecture—Mediterranean Revival and Mission-style—reflect the historic development era of the mid-1920s made famous by Addison Mizner throughout South Florida. Builders associated with the famed architect carried his vision of design and scale from Palm Beach to the eastern shore of Lake Worth where Old Northwood began. The architects and builders of the 1920s—like John Volk, William King, and Henry Harvey—built their homes here and left an indelible mark on Old Northwood. Many of these historic homes have been completely restored in recent decades.
