The community in brief
Billionaires' Row at a glance.
Billionaires' Row is the informal name for the roughly two-mile oceanfront stretch of South Ocean Boulevard (State Road A1A) on the Atlantic side of Palm Beach, running south from The Mar-a-Lago Club at 1100 South Ocean Boulevard through Widener's Curve and ending at Sloan's Curve in the island's south end. Press accounts say the corridor is home to scores of billionaires, and its oceanfront estates carry some of the highest asking prices in Florida: $59.5 million, $88 million, $195 million, and a two-acre lot at $200 million in 2025 and 2026. For buyers at this level, the product is land, ocean, and privacy in roughly equal measure.
Real-time availability is confirmed directly with Kelby: listings portals lag, and the best addresses in Billionaires' Row move before they are published.
Location & boundaries
Mar-a-Lago to Sloan's Curve along the ocean side
The corridor follows South Ocean Boulevard (A1A) on the island's Atlantic side, from The Mar-a-Lago Club at 1100 South Ocean Boulevard at its north end through Widener's Curve, ending at Sloan's Curve, the bend that marks the start of the island's South End. Estates along the row hold direct ocean frontage, and several of the largest are sea-to-lake, running to the Lake Worth lagoon behind the boulevard. The Estate Section is the broader district that contains the row, and the stretch is part of the Town of Palm Beach's R-AA and R-A estate zoning.

Architecture & character
Landmark rows of oceanfront compounds
The row pairs historic estates with a wave of new-construction compounds: rebuilt Mediterranean and contemporary mansions behind heavily landscaped lots, many with tunnels or paths under the boulevard to private beach cabanas. Widener's Curve and Sloan's Curve bookend the drive, and phased rebuilds mean the mix of landmark, modern, and under-construction changes constantly. Privacy is engineered in, and the road itself is a destination drive for architecture watchers.

Market positioning & pricing
Asking prices from $59.5 million to $195 million
Active asking and sold prices, 2025 to October 2026
Public listings along the row in 2025 and 2026 included a rebuilt compound at 1620 South Ocean Boulevard asking $59.5 million, a new-construction estate at 1540 South Ocean Boulevard cut from $88 million to about $84.95 million, a roughly 20,000-square-foot rebuilt estate at 1616 South Ocean Boulevard listed at $195 million, and a two-acre oceanfront-plus-Intracoastal lot at 1980 South Ocean Boulevard asking $200 million. A speculative house at 1742 South Ocean Boulevard sold for $38.75 million in June 2025. These are date-specific asking and closed figures, not guarantees; the current shortlist changes by the month, so confirm it with Kelby.

Access & commute
A1A with the Southern Boulevard bridge at the south end
South Ocean Boulevard doubles as A1A and runs the length of the row; the Southern Boulevard Bridge exits the island near Sloan's Curve, and the Royal Park and Flagler Memorial bridges connect farther north. Palm Beach International Airport is a short drive over the bridges in normal traffic.

Town regulations & zoning
Estate zoning, height limits, and landmark review
The row sits inside the town's estate districts: R-AA requires a 60,000-square-foot minimum lot and R-A a 20,000-square-foot minimum, with a 35-foot height limit and district height planes. Many houses are individually landmarked or historically significant, so exterior change needs Landmarks Preservation Commission review. The island-wide no-short-term-rental rule applies. Verify current rules with the town before planning work.
Sources · verified October 2026
Waterfront, flood zone & insurance
Peak coastal flood exposure
Oceanfront estates on this stretch sit in FEMA-mapped coastal high-velocity flood zones, with flood insurance required for federally backed mortgages in Special Flood Hazard Areas and premiums scaled to elevation, seawall condition, and flood history. Verify each property with FEMA's Flood Map Service Center and an insurer before offering.

New construction & pre-construction
A rebuild pipeline that never really stops
Unverified
The row is one of Florida's most active trophy-rebuild corridors: fully new compounds, boulevard tunnels to the beach, and spec houses all surface regularly. Current under-construction inventory was not verified in this research; statuses and pricing are confirmed directly with Kelby.
Sources · verified October 2026
Investment & rental considerations
Scarcity and sea views, seasonal demand
Oceanfront land on the row is among the scarcest residential assets in Florida, and the market is seasonal and quiet, with deals often made before public listing. Rental yield is constrained by the town's no-short-term-rental rule, so the play here is almost entirely land and estate value, not rental cash flow. General figures were not verified; underwriting is property-specific.
